The favorable weather, excellent infrastructure, and diverse array of water activities in Gran Canaria allow for year-round enjoyment.
Here are the main water activities and sports available on the island throughout the year.
Explore various boat trips in southern Gran Canaria. Choose from dolphin watching tours, leisure boat rides, ferries between Arguineguin and Mogan or between Puerto Rico and Mogan, fishing expeditions, or private boat outings.
Experience the thrill of flying over 100 meters high while enjoying some breathtaking coastal views during a parasailing flight.
Choose between jet skiing on a closed buoy circuit or book a jet ski tour to explore the south coast of Gran Canaria. No license is required; but participants must be of legal age to drive a jet ski.
Enjoy the sea and explore the south coast of Gran Canaria while paddling in single kayaks or accompanied in a two-seater kayak.
The island offers countless places to practice or learn these sports. The island’s prevailing southeast winds make Pozo Izquierdo Beach a favorite among expert windsurfers and kitesurfers, while beginners can enjoy learning and practicing surfing at Las Canteras Beach, particularly in the Confital and Cicer areas.
Discover marine life by snorkeling or scuba diving. Practice these two disciplines in diving centers where you can hire dives or take diving courses of all levels. Experienced divers should not miss exploring the El Cabrón Marine Reserve, known for its marine life diversity.
Other options to discover marine life include diving in a submarine in Mogan or sea trekking along Anfi del Mar beach.
Boat tours, parasailing, and jet ski rides are the most popular activities to do in Puerto Rico.
If you are staying in the Puerto de Mogán, Playa del Cura, or Taurito areas, you can rent a jet ski and do jet ski tours, rent kayaks, parasail, or do a boat tour.
You can only jet ski or parasail, if wind conditions allow, at Playa del Inglés. For all other water activities, you can hire them and use the pickup service in Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustín, and Bahía Feliz.
