Reviews — water sports in Gran Canaria

Such a pleasant day at the sea. Almost one hour trip to our fishing spot. Lots of wind and big waves. The crew knows where these fishes are: bonitos, barracudas, stingray etc. Each person got to reel a good catch in. Some even twice. I was fishing a big one from the bottom and I got it, as well as bonito. We had some good conversations as well. You know, in the end, it's not about fish, it's about fishing.

Had the lovely Alicia for my instructor who is fluent in English, French, Italian and obviously Spanish... absolute legend and is immensely patient (bad student). Met Martina the dog who I think is the owner of the company! Just a brilliant time, next will book a course of lessons instead of a one off... I still managed to stand up on the windsurfing board every time. They also very kindly arranged a lift.

They have really good dive sites and know where to find the best places. Depending on the weather they do boat or coastal dives. I did eight awesome dives with them and took some photos. Unfortunately they didn't have their own boat, but they pick you up at your hotel and bring you to the harbour of Puerto de Mogán where the boat of their partner company is based. You have a good chance to spot some rays.

What an incredible experience! We had an absolute blast on the 2-hour jet ski tour! From the hotel pickup to being dropped off afterwards, everything was smooth, well organized, and completely stress-free. The instructions in English were clear and easy to understand, and the team made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and included. The tour itself was so much fun — plenty of speed and amazing views.

Chris did everything he could to get us flying every day. His knowledge of the island's sites was second to none. He provided not only a great guide service but also invaluable tips on flying and staying safe. Beyond paragliding his knowledge of the island was vast. He has written a guide book on climbing and pointed us to some excellent sport climbing spots. Oh, he also took us for a bridge rope swing!

Absolutely amazing experience! I start this review by saying I'm an experienced diver of over 10 years. Peter and Hector were both fun and professional, making the experience easy and enjoyable. Hector led my dives, and was a great dive lead, showing me all the locations for rays, eels, crabs, and more! I read that this was the best dive center on the island, and it did not disappoint in the slightest.

Our family of four (2 adults and 2 children) took the 60-minute jet ski tour, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The first thing we noticed was how seriously the team takes safety. It was clear that safety is a top priority, which made us feel comfortable and confident right away. Before the tour began, we received a thorough safety briefing where everything was explained clearly.

Excellent dive center. Professional, calm, and very well run from start to finish. They prioritize relaxing once you're down there, which directly contributes to a strong feeling of safety, confidence and enjoyment throughout the dive. Very small groups, in our case one instructor for two people, plus a second instructor dedicated to a third diver who was training to qualify. It all felt almost VIP.

Unforgettable day with Aqua Fun Mogán private boat tour! Carlos was an amazing captain and made sure we had the best experience from start to finish. His hospitality, knowledge, and attention to detail made this adventure truly special. We came from the USA to visit the beautiful Canary Islands and spend time with our family who lives here, and this was the perfect way to enjoy the ocean together.

I highly recommend Davy Jones Diving! The course was absolutely amazing – full of open-water practice, which gives excellent preparation for future diving adventures. Everything was perfectly organized, and the atmosphere was simply fantastic. Héctor, our instructor, is full of energy and has a great sense of humor. He was able to explain every exercise and concept in a simple and creative way.

We had an amazing experience. It was our first time diving so naturally, we were nervous. Marion did such a great job putting us at ease, explaining everything and we felt very safe, informed and empowered. Loved every minute of the dive!! Also just generally a super customer centric team, we needed some flexibility and they were really accommodating. We highly recommend and would book again!!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of completing our Advanced Open Water Diver course and Enriched Air Diver (Nitrox) certification with Blue Water Diving last week, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, everything went perfectly smoothly. Our instructor, Matilde, was truly outstanding – professional, deeply knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind.

I had the most amazing experience with Davy Jones!! Specifically Peter and Hector (they made my experience). I am a beginner diver (9 total dives) and they made me feel safe, comfortable and prepared. They were attentive and answered all my questions with patience. The dive site is beautiful and tucked away on a small private reserve. I will continue to recommend this Dive Center to anyone!!

Wow, wow, wow... our 3-hour boat trip yesterday was amazing. We started by waiting for the morning trip to come in, and the 50 or so people looked unhappy (they hadn't seen anything at all), so when we boarded our boat, we didn't have high hopes for seeing any dolphins or whales. But the 16 people on our trip got lucky, and we got to see whales, a shoal of tuna up close, lots of flying fish.

We really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it. We were lucky to see a large group of dolphins and even a Blainville's beaked whale, which was very special. Seeing these amazing animals so close to the boat was an unforgettable experience. What we appreciated most was the way the crew treated the wildlife with great care and respect. They never chased or disturbed the animals.

Absolutely love this place, we were coming here again and again 3 days straight. Daniel at the counter was really great, we appreciate the way he was trying to help at any stage. We have tried a lot there, Safari Jet absolutely worth every cent! Thanks guys for making our holidays so good. But those guys who are giving out equipment... I wish they were more friendly. Anyway it was very good.

I couldn't have imagined a better surf experience than the one with Pro Surf! The organization was really really good, and even when I made very spontaneous requests, Paul made everything possible. With Danny and Ezy as surf coaches, it nearly felt like a private lesson, even though I was in a group of 11 people. They always kept an eye on everyone and gave me tips on what to do differently.

An exceptional experience for our 11-year-old son! Our son, Charlie, recently completed his PADI Open Water course with Puerto Rico Diving, and we honestly couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. We first got in touch via WhatsApp several months before our holiday, and the communication was excellent from the very beginning. They arranged Charlie's e-learning well in advance.

As part of my holiday, I went to Blue Water Diving to participate in a scuba diving for beginners activity. I can't recommend it more. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The safety information was easy to digest and the team were there to explain every step. I was very nervous when I first got into the water but Eileen and one of the student divers were both so patient and helpful.

We had an amazing experience with Atlantic Wake! Communication before the tour was excellent – arranging everything via WhatsApp was quick, easy, and very convenient. The shuttle service was a great bonus and made the whole experience even more comfortable. The briefing before we got on the water was friendly, professional, and very helpful, so we felt well prepared right from the start.

Pablo and Paul were absolutely fantastic! The organization was top-notch and we were so lucky with the sea conditions. They took us to explore stunning caves, we did some snorkeling, and we even got to jump off the rocks! It was such a fun and adrenaline-filled adventure. My arms will definitely be sore tomorrow from all the paddling, but that's just the sign of an incredible experience!

We absolutely loved the tour. The guides were very encouraging and knowledgeable. They took us to the caves where we were able to swim a little, and we also went in with the kayaks. We did some rock jumps, and later we went to the other beach to do some snorkelling. The view from that beach was incredible; you could see everything, including all the most common fishes around this island.

I booked a surfing lesson at Pro Surfing for my wife and our two daughters (8 and 10 years old). As a father, I was a little nervous beforehand, wondering if surfing might be too challenging or intimidating for them. I couldn't have been more wrong! The instructors were absolutely fantastic. They were patient, encouraging, and knew exactly how to make the girls feel safe and confident.

We had an excellent experience, we really enjoyed it! Even though we have been parasailing before, this was our favorite thanks to Parasailing Maspalomas who made it an unforgettable experience! The view is incredible, for a few minutes you fly and the feeling is so beautiful and all because of them! The team is extremely nice and friendly, they are attentive and give you a good vibe!

Great experience with Ruben and Marta. The boat was cozy and had everything to make guests comfortable. A family business well run, with lots of knowledge and family friendly. We were 5 with 3 kids ranging from 5 to 10 and they absolutely loved it! Full range of items for snorkeling, paddle boards, great views, we could even see Tenerife, lots of sea creatures and a lot of patience.

Yesterday the children had an amazing parasailing experience. We were picked up directly from our hotel and received clear, friendly instructions. While waiting for the previous group to return, we relaxed in the shade at the harbour and were even offered a drink. Once on the boat, we had so much fun. The kids told me it was the best thing they've done during the entire vacation.

I did my first ever open water off-boat scuba dive with Blue Water Diving, and thrilled to say I loved every moment of it. The team was very supportive, guiding and reassuring, I felt very calm, relaxed and safe with them. I dived 11.5 meters for roughly 40 minutes; instructions were clear and reassuring enough for a complete beginner. I'm proud to say I have found a new hobby.

We had an amazing 3-hour private boat tour around Gran Canaria! Everything exceeded our expectations. The boat was very comfortable and even had a fridge stocked with ice and drinks, which was a lovely touch on a hot day. A special thank you to our skipper, Carlos, who made our experience unforgettable! He was very kind, friendly, professional and attentive throughout the trip.

Okay so I get a little travel sick and I was a little reluctant to go but hey so glad we went, I would thoroughly recommend this trip, not stuffy on board, well air conditioned, great views, very stable. We went on the afternoon of 6th June, passenger 11 & 12. My wife wouldn't go on one in Egypt / Turkey but she trusts the Spanish and the high levels of safety protocols here.

We had an amazing time on the Blue Spirit catamaran! Everything was very well organized, and the whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. We were picked up on time, which made everything easy and stress-free. The communication before and during the trip was excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food and drinks were great.

I discovered Puerto Rico Diving online through their website and I contacted the owner, Mike, to get my Divemaster certification. I had stopped certifications coming from other organisations but Mike called me and we figured out a training plan over the course of a month to get the PADI DM certification. He took care of everything from the paperwork to the diving logistics.

Really cool tour, worth every penny. From the driver picking us up to the very last of the staff, very friendly and nice people. They went above and beyond to make everyone happy and that the kids had fun. They helped spotting the animals and did an amazing job touring around them so we can spot them from all angles. You can see dolphins, whales AND tons of flying fish.

Me and my friend did the jet skis and parasailing a month ago now, the whole experience was AMAZING. It was our first time parasailing and they made it so fun dropping us into the water and making sure everything was safe. The jet skis were super fun as well, explained everything so carefully and made sure we understood, always someone watching to make sure it is safe.

Coming here was a wonderful experience! Even as a beginner in surfing, I quickly learned the basics and rode many more waves than I expected. The service is excellent; they pick you up at your hotel and take you back at the end of the day. Everyone is very kind, and the instructors are clear and helpful. The time flew by, and you even get a break during the activity.

I had some wonderful sailing with Pozowinds at nearby Bahia de Formas during my two week stay on Gran Canaria. The conditions were the best I have experienced in the Canaries and the staff were so kind and helpful and accommodating. I was sorry not to venture out at Pozo Izquierdo but I saw some impressive action there during my last two days and hopefully next time.

Booked a private charter for my husband and I and we had the most amazing time! Nacho picked us up right on time for our cruise. Him and Raul were so kind and very welcoming – felt at home. We added an extra hour, which we were very happy we did. The tapas were also a great addition, very lovely. Nacho and Raul took photos throughout and sent them to us immediately.

We booked a surfing lesson and had a really lovely time! Our instructor was excellent, he explained everything very well and in a very fun and calm manner. We would love to come back again! The surf school was easy to reach, and we drove for 5 minutes to the beach where we surfed. The experienced instructors adapted the lesson to our needs and different levels.

With the help of the Cavalier crew, I was able to catch a tuna of about 350kg. It was an epic fight that I'll never forget. The two guys from Cavalier are super friendly and relaxed. They're also true big game fishing pros and have excellent tackle on board. In addition, the way the fish was handled was fantastic. No obsession with photos – very quick release.

An amazing diving experience, especially for beginners! It was such a great adventure and we felt safe and excited the whole time. Everything was explained clearly, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the dive. Mike was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended for anyone starting their diving journey!

This trip is an absolute must-do! We went dolphin searching, actually saw them, and got exactly what we paid for. The experience itself was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The captain was a fantastic host who kept us all laughing over the intercom throughout the journey. I also highly recommend buying the photos and keychains they sell on board.

Today I had the chance to enjoy an incredible experience in Gran Canaria watching dolphins and even whales. Everything was perfect from the start: the animals were calm, just being themselves in their natural environment, and it was honestly amazing to see them up close. The dolphins were beautiful, and spotting whales as well made it even more special.

We really enjoyed our boat trip, staff were really friendly, soft drinks and water are included but they have other refreshments and snacks available at a cost. The dolphins were a bit speedy for photos but a lovely experience. We went on the second trip of the day which includes a stop off for a swim if you want to but it is not compulsory.

Raúl and Nacho were excellent hosts. The food on board was delicious, and the service was consistently high quality. The boat was lovely, and everything was explained very clearly throughout the trip. We had a brilliant time, and they also gave us some really helpful recommendations about the local area. Photos were also great, thanks Nacho!

Absolutely incredible experience with Chris and Paragliding Gran Canaria. He's professional, super chill, and made me feel 100% safe the whole time. The views over the island are unreal and Chris explains everything clearly before takeoff. Can't recommend enough if you want an adrenaline rush with someone who really cares. 5/5 stars.

I had an amazing experience with Calypso Dive Center! The team was incredibly professional and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Communication was seamless before my holiday started to arrange the first dive and during the holiday to arrange more dives. I also appreciated being picked up directly from my hotel.

Unlimited beer and unlimited sangria on ship. More than enough space to relax and tan on the ship. El Captain was an amazing host. Made our time worth it on the ship. Music and drinks and amazing extras they had planned was perfect. Also pick up and drop from our hotels all included in the price. Would highly recommend for anyone.

We had an amazing time with Infinity Boat Tours! The hospitality was on another level, and the entire team took such good care of us. A special shoutout to Natalia, who was incredibly caring — she looked after our kids like they were her own and treated everyone else on board like family. Christian and Dominico were a great laugh.

We tried jet skis and the crazy sofa — it was absolutely amazing! The team was super friendly, everything felt safe and well-organized. So much fun and adrenaline! Prices are totally fair for the experience. Highly recommended if you want to spend an exciting day at the beach!

Very good experience for me and my 2 daughters. Much better advice and guidance than other classes I had in other places, the team is very friendly. The spot was windy with flat water, perfect for learning wing foil, we managed to foil on the second class!! We will come back.

Had great fun on this tour, our guide was brilliant – very safety focused but also really funny and engaging. Kayaking can be hard work and tiring, it's a real workout on the shoulders so don't be hungover! Option to cliff jump and snorkelling included. Highly recommend.

Very professional dive centre, all the kit was excellent and the dive sites were very beautiful! All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable; Stefano helped with my Advanced Open Water certification and his teaching was really great. Would definitely recommend!

We had a good flight along the coastline of Los Colorados with beautiful views. The experienced pilot made the morning complete. I also recommend the flight over Los Giles. A very beautiful experience. You have to experience it if you are on Gran Canaria.

We had an absolutely brilliant trip today with Jorge. Beautiful boat, weather, scenery and Jorge was an excellent captain, encouraging my children to go in the sea and sharing lovely food and wine. I absolutely recommend. Best afternoon of our holiday!

Very nice trip to the Atlantic ocean. Staff was friendly and informative about different species in the sea, when they saw them and what kind. We were lucky to see a big group of dolphins with small ones as well. Amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Despite we were scammed by a tout online the catamaran owner did us the favour to let us on board very nicely so as not to ruin my birthday. Forever grateful. Good fun boat party with DJ, food and free bar. I highly recommend this boat party.

Booked the jet ski safari and had a fantastic experience. Tour guide took many pictures (almost 200) and in the end had the offer to buy all of them for only €20.00. Highly recommended and is a very long experience for the price and value.

Take the trip! Great experience. How many times in your lifetime do you get a chance to be in a submersible and watch the wildlife in their natural habitat? Great setup, well organised. Don't think about it, just do it. I am glad we did.

Brilliant experience at a reasonable price, all the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel safe! They also took great photos. I would 100% recommend anyone to try parasailing especially with Parasailing Maspalomas.

The 3 of us paragliding for the first time, but most definitely not the last... Kevin and Cris are super friendly and well organised. We felt very welcome, and more importantly, safe. Great spot, great views... Jana and the gang.

Chris, the instructor, is extremely competent and makes you feel very safe throughout the whole experience. The flight itself is incredible, for views and a smooth ride. Truly an amazing experience, highly recommended!

Shared game fishing. I went with other people and it is the game: you get a rod and you have a chance to catch or not. This time it was another person's luck. But the crew was very friendly and we had a great time.

Highly recommended Blue Water Diving. Team are very friendly, welcoming and most of all professional. Dive sites were great and spotted some things I really thought I wouldn't see here in Gran Canaria.

Thank you so much for today's boat trip. Mina was so happy, and that made us happy too. Everything was perfect. Thank you for your kindness, hospitality, and warm smile. You truly deserve 5 stars!

Raúl and Nacho were fantastic hosts. The food was fantastic. There was so much to do on board such as stand up paddle boards and snorkelling. They were so accommodating. We had the best time.

I had 2 days of diving this past week and truly enjoyed them. Jose was an excellent dive guide. He found us a couple of manta rays, 2 cuttlefish, a sleeping angel shark and lots more.

Book online for 10% off, but either way worth every penny. The pictures don't do it justice, fabulous views of the fish. Staff really kind, helpful and knowledgeable.

The staff were extremely friendly and provided clear instructions. The jet skis were well-maintained. I would definitely visit them on my next holiday.

Absolutely amazing trip, wonderful stops, and the staff were so friendly and happy! Thank you for a fabulous day; Sergio, Marta, Omar and Ernesto!

Had a great day. Our first ever boat trip and loved it. Done the jet ski, speed boat into the cave and banana boat.

Great experience with amazing instructor. I highly recommend to everyone! :)

Super great experience, lots of fun. Found the caves to swim in too.

This submarine experience should be experienced at least once in your life, where you get to see fishes in their own environment. Unfortunately we didn't get to see too many fishes, but saw a shipwreck too. Liked the fact that everyone had their own seat and were able to enjoy the audio guide which was available throughout the journey with a screen that shows you the different fishes you will come across.

Had a brilliant experience parasailing this afternoon. Daniel was very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Gerson and Azeal made the trip safe, enjoyable and so much fun. Well worth the money and didn't feel rushed. Well worth taking spectators if there's room, the 3 of us had so much fun.

We booked the 6-hour shared trip. My overall rating is three stars because the tight tour schedule seemingly conflicts with the chance of landing a truly big fish. The setup (the good): the crew was friendly, the boat was in good shape, and the snacks and drinks were adequate. We had satisfying success catching several smaller fish on the lighter spinning rods throughout the whole trip.

Good for experienced / bad for beginner with wingfoil. Pros: the location is fantastic for those already familiar with windsurf/foil; easy communication with the staff; friendly instructors; wind almost all year round; I highly recommend Alicia, one of the teachers, who distinguished herself through her clear communication and teaching skills. Cons: the location, if you are a beginner, is not easy.

We engaged in the jet skiing activities. However, we encountered Esther, a staff member, who exhibited extremely rude and disrespectful behavior towards my girlfriend and me. The tone she used while addressing us was distinctly unprofessional. Her demeanor was quite unpleasant. When I mentioned her cheeky behavior, she claimed not to comprehend my remark. I was left very dissatisfied with the overall experience.
