About Papagayo Watersports
Papagayo Watersports is a multi-activity water sports centre based on the beachfront at Playa de las Coloradas in Playa Blanca, the resort town closest to Lanzarote's famous Papagayo beaches. They combine a PADI dive operation with a full range of surface watersports — kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling excursions, and boat trips — making them a convenient single point of contact for visitors who want to try several water activities during their stay.
Their diving programme includes try-dives for beginners, PADI certification courses, and guided fun dives at sites along the Papagayo marine reserve where visibility regularly exceeds 20 metres. On the surface side, they rent single, double, triple, and quadruple kayaks for self-guided coastal paddles, offer SUP boards by the hour, and run guided snorkelling boat trips to the best reef spots off the southern coast. All rental sessions include safety equipment and waterproof bags for belongings.
The location is Papagayo Watersports' biggest asset — Playa de las Coloradas and the adjacent Papagayo coves offer sheltered, turquoise water that's warm enough for comfortable swimming year-round. For visitors staying in the Playa Blanca area, they eliminate the need to travel north for quality water activities, and their beachfront setup means you can walk straight from your sun lounger into a dive briefing or onto a paddleboard.
