A Splash of Adventure: Exploring Ibiza’s North Coast by Jet Ski
Our review of the Jet Ski Tour to Margarita Island from San Antoni Ibiza offers a glimpse into one of the most exciting ways to see Ibiza’s rugged northern shoreline. The adventure, run by Ibiza Jetski Beach, promises an hour of high-speed fun, navigating a sleek Sea Doo around hidden coves, towering cliffs, and natural caves. This isn’t just a spin around the bay; it’s a chance to get up close with Ibiza’s dramatic landscapes in a way that feels both exhilarating and intimate.
What really draws travelers in are two standout features: first, the scenic views of Isla Margarita that seem to hover just offshore, and second, the opportunity to explore secret caves and aquifers only accessible from the water. The guides, especially Alberto, are praised for their friendly professionalism and knack for pointing out the tiny details that make the ride special.
On the flip side, a consideration worth noting is that one jet ski is available per booking of two people. This means if you’re traveling solo or with a group of three, you’ll need to arrange accordingly. The tour is quite physically engaging, which might not suit those with mobility issues or extreme discomfort on water.
This jet ski trip strikes a fine balance between adventure and scenic beauty. It’s a fantastic option for those craving a fast-paced, fun-filled day that also offers plenty of chances to snap memorable photos and enjoy Ibiza’s striking coastline.

Setting Off from Cala Bassa: What to Expect
Starting at Cala Bassa Beach near San Antonio, you’ll find yourself at a cozy wooden hut by the sea, where the Ibiza Jetski Beach team welcomes you. The check-in process is straightforward, and you’ll be introduced to your Sea Doo by a friendly guide, who clearly explains how everything works. Safety briefings are thorough but not overly cumbersome, allowing you to get on the water quickly.
The tour departs for the northern coast, a region renowned for its dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches. As you accelerate along the coastline, you’ll notice Cala Grasio, with its palm and almond trees clinging to the red soil—a landscape that’s both rugged and lush. The guide will point out San Antonio’s iconic cliffs and Punta Galera, famous for its panoramic views and unique rock beach.
One of the highlights is the close-up view of Isla Margarita, which looks strikingly impressive as you approach. The guide will encourage you to look out for natural caves and aquifers along the route—hidden spots that are accessible only by water—and stop for photos and exploration.
The Heart of the Adventure: Highlights of the 1-Hour Tour
The actual ride is fast-paced and slightly challenging, especially if you’re not used to handling a jet ski. This is part of what makes it so thrilling—you’re navigating the rocky coast and open water with a sense of freedom and control. You’ll love how spacious and comfortable the Sea Doo is, according to reviews, and the feeling of speeding over turquoise waters never gets old.
Several travelers noted that Alberto, the guide, was “brilliant” at sharing interesting tidbits about the landscape and pointing out features you might miss on your own. His friendly approach adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip.
The stops to explore caves and aquifers introduce a sense of adventure and discovery. Natural caves along the coast provide perfect spots for photos, especially with the sunlight filtering through openings and casting intricate shadows in the water. These quiet corners of Ibiza offer a different kind of beauty—more subtle but equally stunning.
Who Will Love This Tour?
If you’re someone who enjoys adrenaline, scenic views, and a touch of exploration, this tour is a winning choice. It suits travelers looking for a half-day activity that’s both active and visually rewarding. Families with confident swimmers, groups of friends, and solo adventurers will all find something to love here.
However, it’s worth mentioning that because only one jet ski is available per booking of two people, couples or friends traveling together will need to coordinate to ensure they can share a ski or book separately. The physical aspect of the ride might not appeal to everyone, especially those wary of speed or open water.
Value and Logistics: Is It Worth It?
Given that petrol and insurance are included, the price point offers good value for such an exhilarating experience, especially considering the guided nature and the scenic stops. You’re paying for both the thrill of the ride and the chance to see Ibiza from a unique vantage point—something most visitors don’t get from simply lounging on beaches.
The activity lasts around an hour, which is enough to satisfy a craving for speed without leaving you exhausted or missing other parts of your Ibiza holiday. The flexible booking options—cancellable up to 24 hours in advance—add peace of mind, and the option to reserve now and pay later makes planning stress-free.

- Wear clothing suitable for water activities, and consider bringing a waterproof camera or phone case for photos.

- If you’re traveling solo and want a jet ski, remember that you’ll need to book individually, or find a partner to share the experience.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This jet ski experience is perfect for travelers who love adventure, the outdoors, and scenic landscapes. It’s a great choice if you’ve already ticked off Ibiza’s beaches and want a different perspective of the island’s northern coast. It’s especially well-suited for those comfortable on water and seeking a high-energy activity.
It’s also ideal for couples or groups of friends who want a shared adventure, as long as they coordinate their booking. The tour’s friendly guides and manageable pace make it accessible for most confident water enthusiasts, but it’s not recommended for those with limited mobility or a fear of open water.
The Sum Up: Who Should Consider This Experience?
If you’re craving a fun, active, and scenic way to explore Ibiza’s northern coast, this jet ski tour offers a memorable splash of adrenaline paired with gorgeous views. It’s a standout for those who appreciate a guided experience with knowledgeable guides like Alberto, and for anyone eager to explore caves and secluded coves inaccessible by land.
The price, including petrol and insurance, provides solid value, especially given the quality of the equipment and the scenic stops. The hour-long ride might be short, but it’s packed with enough excitement and photo opportunities to satisfy most adventure-seekers.
However, it’s best suited for travelers who are comfortable on water, able to handle a slightly challenging ride, and looking for a memorable, active day out. If you want a relaxed beach day, this isn’t your best bet—but if you’re after a dose of thrill and stunning scenery, this jet ski tour hits the mark.
