Anfi Beach turns up the volume fast. This Fun Pack pairs a jet ski spin with a parasail flight so you see Gran Canaria from two totally different angles. You get big ocean-time energy without needing a whole day plan.

I like the way the staff keep things smooth and safety-minded. The instructors’ guidance helps you get your bearings quickly, whether you’re on a jet ski for the first time or strapped in for the parasail pull. One thing to consider: the sea can be a factor, and if wind is up, they may swap your timing or date.

If you’re going solo, there’s an important age rule: you must be 18+. It’s also a private activity, so you’re not sharing the water time with strangers from other bookings.

Key things to know before you go

  • Jet ski + parasail, flexible days: 20 minutes jet ski and 8–10 minutes parasailing, and you can do them the same day or on different days.
  • View changes with altitude: Anfi Beach looks great at water level, then again from way higher above the coast.
  • Clear rules, smoother transitions: they explain how to ride and how parasailing works, and the handoff between activities can feel efficient.
  • Photo USB is part of the fun: staff photos are available on a USB drive, often with lots of shots to take home.
  • Weather/wind can affect timing: good weather is required, and windy conditions can lead to changing plans.
  • Private group experience: only your group participates, and you’ll meet at C. Anfi del Mar, 2.

Anfi Beach Fun Pack: jet ski meets parasail in one go

Fun Pack Water Sports - Anfi Beach Fun Pack: jet ski meets parasail in one go
This is one of those rare activities where you get two kinds of thrill without running around town. From the moment you’re near Anfi Beach, the setting does half the work. The water is right there, and the coastline is photogenic from multiple angles.

The value comes from the mix. A jet ski is about motion and control—short bursts, quick turns, and getting splashed (in a fun way). Parasailing is about lift and views—less steering, more gravity-defying calm as you float higher above the bay. Put together, you get variety in a tight time window.

The big payoff: two perspectives of the same coastline

Anfi Beach is the constant. You’ll see it first from out on the water, then again high above when the parasail starts doing its thing. That double view makes the experience feel bigger than the total time suggests.

And if you’re the type who worries about rushing, you’ll probably like that the package lets you spread activities across the same day or different days. That flexibility can matter if wind or sea conditions change.

What’s included: jet ski timing, parasail timing, and how long it really feels

Fun Pack Water Sports - What’s included: jet ski timing, parasail timing, and how long it really feels
The Fun Pack includes two activities:

  • Jet Ski: 20 minutes
  • Parasail: 8–10 minutes

The total time is listed at about 30 minutes. In real life, that usually means you’re not just riding—you’re also getting briefed, fitted, and moved through the flow at the beach.

Jet ski first vs parasail first

You can often do the two rides on the same day, depending on conditions. The upside is convenience: one meeting point, one team, and you don’t have to coordinate two separate operators.

The potential downside is that timing can shift if the weather doesn’t cooperate. If wind is too strong, you may need an adjustment. The good news is that the operation is used to handling schedule changes, and they’ll work with you to find the right slot.

How long 20 minutes feels

Twenty minutes on a jet ski can go surprisingly fast—especially when you’re learning the rules and trying not to overthink the throttle. But it’s also a comfortable length for first-timers. You get enough time to feel like you really did it, not just a quick photo stop.

Eight to ten minutes parasailing can feel even more intense because you notice every moment. When you’re higher up, the time stretches in a different way. It’s short, but it’s a clean hit of wow.

Here's some more things to do in Gran Canaria

Meeting point at C. Anfi del Mar: getting there without drama

You start and end at C. Anfi del Mar, 2, 35129 Mogán, Las Palmas, Spain. Ending back at the meeting point is helpful because you’re not stuck planning onward transport right after you finish.

It’s also noted as near public transportation. So if you’re staying nearby (or you like to keep things low-stress), you’re unlikely to need a full logistics operation.

Private group means less chaos

This is a private tour/activity, so only your group participates. That usually translates into a calmer setup on the beach and less waiting around for other parties to finish.

If you’re traveling with family or a couple who wants the same experience at the same pace, the private setup is a real quality-of-life upgrade.

Jet ski for 20 minutes: coaching that helps you steer confidently

Fun Pack Water Sports - Jet ski for 20 minutes: coaching that helps you steer confidently
Jet skiing sounds simple until you’re on the water with wind, waves, and a team watching for safe behavior. What helps here is that the instructors explain the jet ski rules clearly before you start.

That matters because the jet ski portion is all about feel. You need to understand basic handling and safety boundaries quickly. Once that’s clear, your job is mostly to enjoy the ride.

The training effect: you’ll spend more time riding

In the feedback, the staff’s explanations are described as helpful and friendly, with people mentioning a smooth experience from start to finish. That’s what you want: not a lecture, but usable guidance so you can get moving without anxiety.

Also, one of the most practical details: the riding area is described as wide enough with security in mind but not overly restrictive. That’s good news if you’re the type who wants turns and motion—not just a slow crawl.

Reality check: choppy water can happen

One note to keep expectations grounded: if conditions feel choppy, jet skiing may feel rougher, especially for riders who are sensitive to waves. That doesn’t mean you should skip it; it just means you’ll enjoy it more if you go in with a flexible mindset.

If you’re prone to motion sickness, consider packing something for sensitive stomachs. The data doesn’t mention medicine, so I’m not saying it’s required—just that the ocean can be unpredictable.

Parasailing for 8–10 minutes: the high view without the full-day commitment

Parasailing is the calmer thrill in this package. You’re not focused on controlling the craft in the same way; you’re focused on staying comfortable and enjoying the pull upward.

The flight is listed at 8–10 minutes, which is long enough to get real views and still short enough that it doesn’t drag. That makes it a good fit for people who want a big experience without committing to half a day of waiting.

The smooth part: getting from ride to ride

One of the things that stands out is how smoothly the shift between activities can run. When the parasail ends, the staff handle the transition efficiently so you’re not stuck waiting in limbo.

That pacing matters for mood. You want to stay excited, not “jet-ski tired” by the time parasailing happens (or vice versa).

Why parasailing feels special at Anfi Beach

The biggest win is visual. From high above, Anfi Beach and the coastline change shape. You get a sense of scale—how the bay sits, how the water moves, and where the shoreline curves.

Even if you’ve seen the beach from the promenade, this is a totally different angle.

Photos on a USB drive: a small add-on that can mean a lot

A lot of people care less about souvenirs and more about memories they can share. Here, that’s where the photo USB comes in.

The setup is described as offering a USB drive with lots of photos taken by staff. If you want proof that you really did the jet ski and the parasail, this is one of the easiest ways to get it.

Plan for photo mix-ups, but don’t panic

There’s also at least one cautionary note: one person said they received only part of their photos at first, and later got the missing images after a follow-up. That sounds fixable, but it’s still a reminder to check what you receive.

If photos matter to you, it’s smart to confirm everything you get from the staff before you leave the area.

Weather and wind: the smart way to think about “good conditions required”

This experience requires good weather. If conditions aren’t right, they’ll offer a different date or a full refund. That’s important, because water sports are one of those categories where Mother Nature doesn’t care about your schedule.

In real terms, windy days can affect whether you can fly as planned. One piece of feedback described the option to change plans when it was too windy to parasail at the booked time.

How to make this work with your trip

If your vacation has fixed commitments, pick a time slot with a little buffer. In other words, don’t schedule this as the one last activity you can’t move. That doesn’t mean you’ll lose time—it means you’ll feel less stressed if they shift you.

Also, treat it as a sea-day activity. If you’re the type who gets irritated when outdoor plans change, you might find the waiting periods frustrating. If you’re chill about it, it becomes part of the fun.

Price and value at $131.25 per group: what you’re really buying

The listed price is $131.25 per group (up to 1), and it’s a private activity. That means you’re paying for the bundle—jet ski plus parasailing—rather than two separate bookings.

For many people, the value is the combo. Two adrenaline hits, one meeting point, and staff who keep the process moving. If you were to book jet ski and parasailing separately, you’d likely end up with more coordination and possibly less of that “single operator” ease.

Who gets the best value

  • If you want a full water-sports day with variety, this package is efficient.
  • If you’re traveling as a couple or solo rider who wants the thrill without building a custom day plan, it’s straightforward.

One note on expectations: you don’t get hours of riding time. You get a concentrated burst—then you’re done. If you want long sessions and lots of time on the water, you may find you want more after this.

The staff factor matters

Pricing aside, what makes it feel worth it is the human side. People mention friendly, helpful staff and instructors who go out of their way to make the experience work smoothly.

Names came up in the feedback—Tibor is described as very helpful and friendly, and Alejandro handled photo-related follow-up. That kind of attention is exactly what turns a basic ride into something you remember.

Who should book this Fun Pack (and who should pause)

This fits best when you want:

  • A short, high-impact water-sports experience
  • Strong views and two types of thrill
  • A private setup that avoids mixed-group uncertainty

Most travelers can participate, and the experience language is English. If you’re comfortable with basic safety instructions, you’ll likely do fine.

The only age rule you should know

If you go alone, you must be 18+. That’s an easy rule to check ahead of time.

When you might want to consider alternatives

If you don’t handle sea motion well, choppiness can make jet skiing uncomfortable. If you’re visiting during a period when wind is common, you also need to be mentally ready for schedule changes.

Still, the operation is set up for weather-related adjustments, so it’s not “broken”—it’s just how outdoor water sports work.

Should you book Fun Pack Water Sports at Anfi Beach?

I’d book it if you want a tight, efficient day of thrills that doesn’t require hours of planning. The combination is the selling point: jet ski motion plus parasail views, with coaching that helps you feel safe and capable.

I’d think twice if you hate schedule changes due to wind, or if you’re sensitive to choppy water. In those cases, you may find the waiting or the ride conditions less enjoyable than you hoped.

If you do decide to go, aim for a slot where you have some flexibility in the rest of your day. And if the photos matter, take a minute to review what you get from the staff.
