My girlfriend and I went here as it was the closest place to our resort we knew we could hire a jet ski. We payed our 50 euros each, was given a life jacket and then taken to the jet ski circuit on the companies RIB. You have to go anti clockwise around four marker buoys but at the time it was only us two and so there was plenty of room. We set off at the same time as the jet boat (also advertised as a 25 minute experience) however didn't get called / taken back in until quite a while after. I suppose the inconsistent timing other reviews have spoken of worked in our favour on this occasion. Personally a no fuss experience to get on two jet skis for 25 minutes for 100 euros but that's all we wanted so no complaints.

This water sports service provider is situated in Puerto playa Blanca in a booth/ office on the dock and not Puerto del Carmen as advertised.

We booked one single and one double jet ski for two adults and one nearly teen on 5/9/18.

Andy, who works in the office was friendly,very funny and welcoming from the moment we met him. He took us through all of the rules and regulations without making it boring. Leroy, the captain of the speed boat which takes you out to the jet skis and also completes the set up and shows you how to use the skis is also very helpful and friendly.

We as a family had a great day out with these guys. So much so that we are planning to book another activity with them before we go home.

If you want to book a water sports activity in this area then just go straight to these guys in playa Blanca and cut out the middle men trying to sell in the hotels and on the beaches.

My husband and I wanted to treat the kids and decided to send them paracending followed by jet ski my son decided he didn't want to go paracending and dad stepped in instead. They went up in the air and felt the wind was intense and as the got to full extension my daughter wasn't liking very much so my husband was just about to ask them to being them back when a gust of wind blew them sideways and they saw the rope snap in front of there eyes. They thought it would have been a soft landing having a parachute on but this was not the case they hit the water like hitting concrete and then realised that the wind was just dragging them either and either away from the boat. The life jacket held them in the water but due to the aggressive nature of the wind the waves just continued to keep going over them. The boat staff looked motified and attempted to rescue them and tried to jump on to the parachute to prevent it dragging them, unfortunately this was not the case and this only left the driver on the boat trying to keep up with great speed. The other guy was left in the sea. My husband attempted to unlock parachute whilst trying to hold my daughter above the water level, this was mere impossible as soon as the wind was dragging parachute it tightened the harness so this was completely impossible. My husband eventually managed to grab the parachute and try to flatten it which he can only explain the worst moments in his life. They then managed to get in the boat after some fight and dignity lost as the wind and force had managed to pulled there bottoms off. My husband couldn't understand why no other boat had been called to help rescue but then had tocontine to rescue the other guy that had jumped to help, this was like looking for a needle in a haysatck, when we had located him him managed to scrape himself back in the boat and just lay flat getting his breath. My husband is glad he managed to survive and save his daughter and is glad they landed on there back being dragged otherwise this could have been a very different. Staff offered full refund and offered to be checked over, however this was declined due to myself being an experienced nurse and able to carry out checks myself we were then offered photos which obviously we didn't need a reminder of the near death experiance. I emailed the company later as due to the shock they just wanted to get away. On email I asked for accident or incident number but no response. I then contacted the team and spoke to them and they did ask had I emailed and stated the didn't deal with this and they would reply to my email b4 6pm closing time. This has not yet been received. This company then stated they would now shut the paracending for the day, however on walking back to apartment 10 mins into walk we were astonished that yes they did let people back out. My daughter and husband have suffered severe bruising, shock and nausea and are very emotional, moreover they feel they don't want to participate in any other activities again. Please take care out there it really is not as safe as you think

Dear Michelle and Steven. If it comes to water-sport things can and will happen and that's a kind of part of the thrill that makes is as attractive as diving, kite-surfing and shark-watching. And we are dearly sorry of you and especially your children Your Paraschute was cought by a "Clear Air Turbulence" (Please check Google for this) wich is a kind of whirlwind that first dragged you down, and that came with force from the surface to fill the vacuum. The line holds up to 1 ton, but that CAT was far too much, it had to brake as otherwise the lines of the parachute would have disintegrated with unknown consequences from 100 meters hight. we always warn that you can land on the sea, we do not guarantee that it is on the boat, it happens to us once every 1000, BUT THERE IS NO DANGER as you say, Some find it funny to land in the sea. They all wear life jackets So, the chap on the boat ju pes after you, probably surprised as you were in an attempt to ease the situation, while the "Patron" (Captain) stayed on board. That's what was more than reasonable in this moment and I've seen you've agreed. The last sentence of your post is very true and it has proofed true again. I would add some words please: Nothing in life is as safe as it looks, neither drive to car, take a cab, the bus, eat mussels and cockels, snorkel around, fly somewhere, meet your neighbor or the boar while hunting. PM please. Things went wrong, that's agreed, but it's part of your and our history as well, an experience we'll share ... It was not fun. Neither for you nor for the guys on the boat. Again: Things happen ... Deepest

Myself and my girlfriend visited on 21 Aug. We had prebooked and paid a deposit the day before so were given a time slot of 1pm for Parasailing. Upon arrival it took us 15 minutes to get anyones attention. There was a rude young woman behind the desk who seemed to pick and choose who she would serve, while the man behind the desk was too busy counting wads of money and talking on the phone to serve us. Finally when we got seen to we were told 'give me 97€' by the rude woman. We lined up for our harnesses and life jackets at 12.45 at which point I was given a lifejacket several sizes too big and was told take it or leave it. Then we were left waiting until just after 2pm for our activity without any explanation or apology for the hour delay. Infact the English guy(Simon I think he was called) who organised people to board the boats for all activities avoided us as much as possible. When we finally got to parasail it was amazing and the staff on the boat made it really worthwhile.

When we got back we had to wait over 1.5 hours for our Jetski ride. During this time I asked the same rude woman twice when we would be taken to the Jetskis to which she replied 'I don't know' and walked off and also the English guy who replied 'yea in a minute'- which was 30 minutes later.

When it came to the pictures we were told to come back in 30 minutes. When we came back they couldn't find our pictures. When they finally found them we had barely looked through them when the same rude woman came up behind us and told us to 'decide'.

The activities themselves were amazing however it took us 4 hours due to rudeness, lack of organisation and unprofessionalism to do activities which should have lasted 1.5hours maximum. The staff on the boats were amazing and energetic but the staff working on the land were an embarrassment to the company they work for. I would never use this company again.

Usted vino mal informado, es imposible hacer un pack en 90 minutos, ya que solo en el barco de Parascending se está una media de 60. En agosto hay mucha actividad , por lo que no se puede prestar un servicio más óptimo , aunque lo intentamos, en cuanto a los insultos personales que usted escribe, nosotros no haremos lo mismo ya que pensamos que el resto de viajeros sabrá interpretar

We booked our three children 18/15/12 and a friend 17 onto the parascending at Playa Chica at a cost of €140. The brochure stated clearly that the "ride" would last for twelve (12) minutes. It was about half that.
My complaint after to the people running the show was met by denials etc. They indicated in broken English that the twelve minutes referred to the two people who ride together!
Having said that the kids themselves enjoyed the experience.
I however felt fleeced by the sharp practise of the operators who appear to be raking it in with the numbers queueing to participate.
I would not return to this attraction again.

Buenas tardes , en cuanto a su aportación lamentamos su actitud por que hasta tres veces utiliza calificativos insultantes por lo que no merece más comentarios. Nos quedamos con la frase que dice que su hija disfruto de la atracción Gracias

Me & my girlfriend went & booked a go on jet skis & parascending for Thursday 23/10/14 the guy behind the counter just took our booking free & give us our receipt, never asking what time we could make it or letting us no the waiting times between activities. We arrived a got a very warm welcome from Peter (pedro) the guy was brilliant & very helpful that took us stright out on the jet skis that we loved. Got back & was told 1 hour wait for parascending which was fine till 1 hour past then told to wait another hour which was a bit of a let down but I could understand they was busy ( by then girlfriend a bit ratty ) finally got to fly in the air which was amazing to see all the views, we got back to the club house to end our good day (except the wait) to buy a cd of our experience peter was been very helpful trying to get the pictures we wanted before he was rudely interrupted by the man behind the counter to leave us another half an hour & do somthing else, we said we have been here hours & it would only take 5 min to finish our cd & we could go happy but no the very rude & ignorant man behind the counter was not interested in us now we had spent hundreds of €'s didn't care about a 20€ cd to let us end it happily. He was very argumentative ,arrogant & nasty, I politely said it's now or never for the cd we had been there 4 hours his reply was a stern NEVER so after a few change in words we left in a bad mood for been messed about buy the guy behind the counter who wouldn't help us as he was more interested in sitting on his bum counting the big money coming in, we enjoyed the activities but customer survive well they was none they where just
rude abrupt. All I can say is stay clear of the money man he shouldn't work there in my opinion with how rude he was every one else was nothing like him stick to the English guy (Peter ) funny helpful & just generally a nice person, wouldn't use it again after that the nastiness out weighed the fun unfortunately waited a year for this aswell big let down

en primer lugar disculparnos si su experiencia no fue de su agrado. En segundo lugar comentarle que el que se puso en una actitud violenta fue usted, amenazando que o le imprimíamos la foto AHORA O NUNCA, por lo que el compañero le manifestó que nunca, ya que tenia usted que esperar 5 minutos ya que había otros clientes esperando antes que usted. También manifiesta que Peter es un gran hombre, y muy amable, comentarle que es relaciones publicas de la empresa desde hace una década, lo cual nos hace muy felices de que se le tenga en cuenta su valor ., lo que no dice usted es que saliéndonos de nuestro protocolo de actuación , le mandamos todas las fotos de sus actividades sin ningún coste para usted. El producto que usted contrato esta diseñado para venir a pasar un buen rato , y no para hacerlo todo deprisa . gracias por su opinión que nos ayudara a seguir mejorando

Booked trip for 11 a.m. Boat arrived at 11.30 a.m. We were told by organisers that we would have a 12 minute Parasend. The boat took ten people on board with 5 pairs. My daughter and I were first up and the trip seemed very short. I timed the next four couples up and they averaged from 4 minutes 35 to 5 minutes 15 seconds. We complained about this back at centre and were simply brushed off. They told us they'd send us out for another 5 min each which we didn't want as it would take up about another hour of hour day! Cowboys and Gangsters is the only way of discribing them! Once they have your money they don't care about you anymore. The boss man behind the counter was easily one of the most ignorant men I have ever met! It 80 cost euros per pair for 5 minutes. A totoal rip-off. Be ware if you are booking this and highlight before you go as is printed on their Brochure that it is a 12 minute parasent. While my daughter enjoyed the parasend i have rated it terrible because of the rip-off and the attitude of the owners of Paracraft Lanzarote

Buenas tardes , disculpe por el tiempo transcurrido para responder a su queja. Como bien dice usted la atracción del parascending duraba 12 minutos , no 12 minutos por persona, lamentamos su confusión , pero lo pone bien claro en los folletos , carteles , web , ect. En cuanto a que chapurreamos Inglés , tenemos operarios Nativos Ingleses para una mejor atención al público Británico. Lo de las colas lo intentamos evitar, hemos abierto en Playa Blanca, pero mucha gente viene recomendada por otros clientes felices de hacer las actividades anteriormente con nosotros, lamentamos que usted no sea uno mas de los cientos que quedan satisfechos. Gracias por su aportación que nos ayudara a seguir mejorando

Lamentamos profundamente que su relación con nosotros no haya sido satisfactoria. Las instalaciones de Playa Blanca estaban cerradas por que el capitán de las embarcaciones había tenido un accidente doméstico y estábamos formando a un sustituto. La información en la web seguía informando de las actividades por que estábamos ofreciendo traslados a Puerto del Carmen o hacer las actividades excepcionalmente en Playa Blanca, en cuanto a los precios siguen igual, hemos adaptado los packs a petición de nuestros clientes a sus gustos. Repito que sentimos que su experiencia no haya cumplido sus expectativas , pero fue siempre por causas ajenas a nuestra voluntad. Gracias por su opinión que nos ayudara a mejorar Reciba un cordial saludo

The water sports it's self were absolutely fantastic! We had a jet ski and we went paragliding the prices were fair and we really enjoyed are self it's just when we went back to the base where are belonging were the man behind the desk was so rude not just to us but to the majority of customers that were there also! We really wanted some pictures of the activities we had taken part in that day so we waited as they were busy which is understandable we then came back 2 hours later to be sent away again for half an hour after we went back again they looked through all the memory sticks and had lost are photos... Which we were gutted about they were not sympathetic about this situation at all and I feel the man that bosses the other staff around and speaks to his staff very rudely made are experience a 2 out of 5 but the water sports themselves were a 5 out of 5. There was an English man who couldn't do enough for you and he was probably the only member of staff that was friendly!
