Tenerife: Jet Ski Safari Las Galletas & Free Transfers

Summary

Jet ski adventure from Las Galletas with guide, transfers and photos

You’ll feel the Atlantic wind as you race your jet ski along Tenerife’s southwest coast, guided by locals who know every wave. Expect hotel pickup in southern Tenerife, pro photos snapped mid-ride, and cold soft drinks after you dry off. It’s fast-paced fun with just enough time to catch your breath and laugh about it later.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed in Las Galletas was how the air smelled like salt and sunscreen — that mix you only get near the Atlantic. We met our guide right by the water, who grinned when he handed me a wetsuit (I definitely needed it, even though the sun was out). The jet skis looked way faster than I expected. I remember thinking, “Please don’t let me be the one to flip this thing.”

Once we got going along the southwest coast of Tenerife, everything felt louder — wind in my ears, water slapping hard under us. Our guide kept waving us closer whenever someone drifted off course. He shouted something about dolphins but honestly, I was too busy trying not to swallow seawater to look around much at first. After maybe twenty minutes, I finally relaxed enough to notice how blue everything was. There’s a weird kind of silence when you cut the engine for a second out there — just sea and sky and your own heartbeat.

I didn’t expect them to take photos while we were riding, but they did — caught me grinning like an idiot at one point. Afterward, we sat around sipping cold sodas (so good after all that salt), everyone laughing about who got soaked the worst. The whole thing felt less like a tour and more like some wild afternoon with friends you just met. If you’re staying anywhere in southern Tenerife, they’ll pick you up — which saved us from figuring out buses with wet hair.
