With a warm sea almost all year and well-protected southern beaches, Gran Canaria has one of the biggest water-sports offerings in the Canaries. From the adrenaline of a jet ski to the calm flight of parasailing, there are plans for all ages and levels.
Parasailing: flying over the sea
Towed by a boat with a parachute, parasailing lifts you above the coast with views of the beaches of Taurito or Puerto de Mogán. It's calm, beginner-friendly and one of the most spectacular photos.

For those after speed, a jet ski races along the south coast with all the power up front. Guided trips from spots like Pasito Blanco, no experience needed.
