Water Sports in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, thanks to its warm climate, clear waters, and consistent Atlantic winds.

The calm waters in certain areas are perfect for snorkeling and jet skiing, while more adventurous visitors can try fly-boarding or kite-surfing. Sailing and boat excursions are also popular, offering a chance to explore the island from the sea and even spot dolphins or other marine life. With professional schools and rental services widely available, Lanzarote makes it easy for both beginners and experienced adventurers to dive into its exciting water sports scene.

Windsurfing

Lanzarote is a paradise for windsurfing! Whether you are an expert or complete beginner, all the way along the coastline there are schools and centres that teach this exciting sport.

Surfing

Some people say that the Lanzarote surf is so good it is ranked almost as highly as Hawaii! It definitely enjoys some of the biggest and best waves in all of Europe, especially off the northern and north-eastern shores – both recommended only for experienced surfers.

Parascending, Jet & Water Skiing

Parascending, jet skiing, water skiing, a trip on a speedboat and other adrenalin-pumping activities are mainly offered at the major resorts.
