The experience

You get 40 minutes on the water piloting your own jet ski, not watching from a boat. The guide leads from ahead in their own vessel, setting the pace and choosing the route past the cliffs and smaller coves along Lanzarote's southern edge. The ride passes Puerto Calero harbour and reaches Playa Quemada, a working fishing town where the water stays close to the shore. You handle the throttle and the line. The guide handles the navigation and safety.

Before you leave the beach, there's a briefing on how to operate the ski and what to expect in the water. A life jacket comes with the tour. The jet ski holds one or two people, so you can ride solo or bring someone along. No diving certification, no sailing background, no prior jet ski time is needed. The briefing covers what matters. The guide speaks English, Spanish or French depending on who's in the group that day.

Pickup is included in the booking. Public transport options exist nearby if you're arranging your own way to the launch point. Transport to and from the meeting location costs 5 euros per person if you need it arranged separately.

Is this one for you?You ride your own jet ski the entire time, not a passenger on someone else's. This suits anyone who wants to control the ski and feel the handling themselves rather than watch the tour happen. The guide leads the route and stays with you, so it's guided but hands-on, which works for first-timers and experienced riders alike.

How fast do you actually go on a jet ski tour like this?
