Tubing in Los Gigantes

About this experience

Tubing in Los Gigantes offers a thrilling way to experience the dramatic coastline of Tenerife's most iconic cliffs. This high-speed adventure combines the rush of being towed behind a powerboat with the stunning backdrop of the towering Los Gigantes cliffs, which rise over 600 meters from the Atlantic. Unlike standard boat tours, tubing puts you right on the water, bouncing over waves and carving through the sea as the wind whips past. Local operators in Los Gigantes know these waters intimately, guiding riders to the best spots where the ocean swells create natural ramps and turns. The experience feels raw and authentic—no crowded decks or scripted commentary, just pure adrenaline against one of the most dramatic seascapes in the Canary Islands. Each session lasts around 15 to 20 minutes, but the memories linger long after. Safety is taken seriously here, with life jackets and expert drivers ensuring a controlled yet wild ride. Most tours include a brief lesson on hand signals, so communication with the boat is clear even when laughter and spray fill the air. Groups often go in pairs, taking turns to catch their breath while watching others fly across the water. For anyone visiting Los Gigantes, tubing offers a genuine local thrill that beats any standard sightseeing tour. It’s the kind of activity that makes travelers feel like they’ve discovered something special—a secret shared by the waves and the cliffs. Perfect for friends, couples, or solo adventurers craving a splash of excitement.
