What people are saying about Puerto del Carmen

It's really a great experience. I was always set that the price is too high. But it's really worth it and it was a lot of fun. The 40 minutes is more than enough if you ride a jet ski alone, because these things have real power. Will definitely book again next time!

Amazing way to see the unique marine life in Lanzarote. Our instructor was very nice and knowledgeable, the equipment was perfect for February, we enjoyed the snorkeling and will remember it as one of the highlights of our holiday.

We had a good and entertaining instructor. He told us in advance what we we're going to do and what we might be able to see. During the dive we saw several catfishes and small octopus, even saw 2 seahores and lots of other fish.

Was a great excursion, staff friendly and told you exactly what was going to happen. We spotted 2 dolphins, just glimpses but we saw them they are wild animals so was great Really enjoyed it thank you

Had a great time and the jet ski drivers (workers) were so helpful and made us have a great time. Definitely recommend
