40 Minutes Jet Ski in Lanzarote: Guided Coastal Ride

Drive a jet ski past Lanzarote's hidden coves while a guide leads the way

A 40-minute jet ski activity on the Lanzarote coast where you ride your own machine (or share one and take turns) while a guide in a boat shows you the route to Playa Quemada and back. You get the wet suit and life jacket. The guide speaks English, Spanish or French and stays with you the whole time to point out the coastline and keep the group together.

The experience

You arrive at the harbor, get fitted with a wet suit and life jacket, then board the boat with the group. Once offshore, you climb onto your jet ski (either solo or with a partner who can switch places with you mid-ride), and follow the guide's boat as it leads you along the Lanzarote coastline. The route takes you past Puerto del Carmen, through Barranco del Quíquere, past Puerto Calero, and out to Playa Quemada, a stretch of virgin beach most visitors never see. The guide stays ahead on the boat the whole time, controlling the pace and pointing out the interest points along the way.

The 40 minutes moves fast. You're handling the throttle and the steering, not watching from a seat, so the ride is active from start to finish. If you're sharing a jet ski with someone, you can hand off the controls whenever you want: no formal swap, just a natural handover so both of you get real time driving. The guide keeps the group tight and the speed manageable, so even first-timers feel in control.
