Buggy and jet ski in Lanzarote: packages, prices and rules

The handy thing about a package is that one company organises everything, with one meeting point and one booking. The less handy thing: each activity has its own age and weight rules, and the strictest one decides.

Which buggy and jet ski packages are there in Lanzarote?

Only Paracraft's two packages can be booked on GetYourGuide. The other two are booked directly with the company: Land & Sea was previously listed on Tuesdays and Fridays only, so confirm the days. H2O's combo listing has figures that don't add up (it says "2 hours" long but describes 1 h of jet ski plus 2 h of buggy), so ask for the real schedule.

Some agencies also sell a similar package of 1 h jet ski and 2 h buggy for €300, with a non-refundable €75 deposit. For the same money, the options above are better value.

Paracraft's Pack Duo and Pack Trio: what's included

Both start from Paracraft's office next to Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen. Paracraft is a water-sports company that also offers a buggy; we look at it in our Paracraft review.

Pack Duo (3 h): two and a half hours on a guided buggy tour and 20 minutes on a double jet ski. The guide, buggy petrol and life jackets are included. Paracraft asks you to bring your physical driving licence, warm clothing and a T-shirt to wear under the life jacket.

Pack Trio (4 h): the same, plus a parasailing flight. It's very highly rated on GetYourGuide (4.9 out of 5), though with few reviews so far.

Two things worth knowing before you pay:

• The buggy route isn't published. Paracraft doesn't give stops or say how much is dirt track. With the public consultation the Cabildo opened on 2 October 2026 on buggies on tracks, any dirt section could move onto tarmac; nothing is banned today.
• Cancellation. On GetYourGuide you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before. On Paracraft's website, cancellations aren't accepted, only a change of date with 24 hours' notice. Paying about €7–10 more for that flexibility is usually worth it for a plan that depends on the sea.

Jet ski and parasailing on their own

If you'd rather do the buggy from another base (the northern route from Costa Teguise, for example) and the jet ski on another day, GetYourGuide has stand-alone options:

• Single or double jet ski hire in Puerto del Carmen, 20 or 40 minutes, from €70. More than 450 reviews, 4.6 out of 5. Check dates
• Jet ski tour, from 20 minutes to 3 h, from €70, rated 4.7 out of 5 with more than 1,000 reviews.
• Parasailing in Puerto del Carmen, about 10 minutes in the air, from €55, 4.8 out of 5. Check dates
• Jet ski safari from Puerto Calero to Papagayo, 20 minutes to 1 h, from €60.

GetYourGuide doesn't confirm which company runs each of these listings, and for several we couldn't check whether the price is per person or per jet ski. Check the listing before you add it all up.

A quick sum: on Paracraft's website, the 2-seater buggy alone costs €145.09 and the Pack Duo €193.46. In other words, the 20 minutes on a double jet ski cost you about €48 extra. Booked separately, you'll struggle to find it cheaper.

Jet ski rules in Lanzarote: age, licence and weight

In Spain you can ride a jet ski without a qualification only on a set circuit or in a group led by an instructor: a maximum of 4 jet skis per instructor, 2 people per jet ski and 60 hp. That's why all these trips are guided.

The rules Paracraft publishes:

• Jet ski driver: 18, or 16 with parental consent. No licence needed.
• Maximum weight: 120 kg on a single jet ski, 150 kg on a double.
• Parasailing: from age 8 with an adult, up to age 75.

And the buggy rules, which are the most limiting:

• Buggy driver: 22 or over, with 2 years' licence.
• Buggy passengers: from age 8, at least 1.35 m tall, accompanied by an adult.

On H2O's combo the minimum buggy driver age is 20; the "16" on its listing refers to the jet ski. For the other licence requirements, see our guide to licence and age.

Who is a buggy and jet ski package for?

It suits you if:

• You're a couple and one of you is 22 or over to drive the buggy.
• You're staying in Puerto del Carmen and don't want transfers: the meeting point is at Playa Chica.
• You want to try both without giving up two mornings of your holiday.

It doesn't suit you if:

• The only driver is under 22. Look at H2O's combo (age 20) or another company's buggy.
• Weight is an issue: the double jet ski has a 150 kg limit. Ask beforehand how they apply it.
• You're after a particular buggy route: the package doesn't say where it goes. If you want to head up towards Peñas del Chache, that's the Costa Teguise route.
• There are children under 8 or under 1.35 m tall.

How to plan a buggy and jet ski day

A Pack Duo takes 3 h and a Pack Trio 4 h: half a day.

• Heat and sun: from July to September highs are around 28–29 °C and the UV index reaches 11–12. If you pick the midday slot, bring sun cream, a cap and water.
• Wind: the trade wind blows more in summer (on around 70% of days in July). Paracraft asks you to bring warm clothing: the wind cools you down on the buggy, and you're wet after the jet ski.
• Daylight: in October the sun sets at around 19:25 and in June–July at around 20:55. If you book an afternoon slot, check it finishes in daylight.
• Don't pair it with Timanfaya on the same day if you're short of time: tickets to the Montañas del Fuego are for timed slots (9:30 to 15:45) and a 4-hour package doesn't leave much margin.
