There are two ways to see Ribadesella's cliffs from the water: sitting on the Infierno Cliffs boat or at the controls of a jet ski. This is the second. Cangas Aventura sets out from its premises in the centre of Ribadesella, next to the tourist office, with a guide who leads the way along the Dinosaur Coast and takes the group into sea caves you cannot reach any other way.

What it is like

An hour along the cliffs of the Ribadesella coast, always behind the guide, who gives safety instructions at the start and during the route. There are single-seat and two-seat jet skis; on the doubles, if the guide thinks it possible, you can swap driver halfway. No licence or permit is needed. The company takes photos during the trip and gives them to you at the end. There are also two-hour routes.

Price, times and ages

The single jet ski costs €100 and the double, €130. There are departures every hour, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00. Those over 16 drive, minors with their parents' authorisation; from age 12 you can go as a passenger, always with an adult. Bring sports clothes that can get wet and a towel: at the end you change in their changing rooms.

Who it is for

For those who want speed and do not mind getting wet. With small children, the boat is a better option. If what you want is to see the dinosaur footprints from land, the Tereñes cliffs are a few minutes away.

Tips

  • Choose the two-seater if there are two of you For €30 more than a single, and you take turns at the wheel.
  • Be punctual Departures are every hour and the group leaves together.
