Led by certified instructors, this experience promises a blend of adrenaline, learning, and stunning views—perfect for those craving something different from your typical beach day.
What we love most about this tour is the emphasis on safety and professional guidance, making it suitable even for beginners. The second highlight is the unique method of exploring Ibiza—no need for wind or waves, just pure motorized fun that’s easy to pick up.

An In-Depth Look at the Ibiza Jet Board Lesson
What Is a Jet Board Experience, and Why Is It Special?
This activity offers a fresh take on watersports—it’s a motorized jet board that allows you to speed along the water, much like a jet pack for your feet. Unlike traditional surfing which depends heavily on wave conditions, the jet board does not require wind or waves, making it accessible even on calm days. We loved the simplicity and thrill of gliding over the water, which provides an adrenaline rush without the need for prior surfing experience.
The Location and Meeting Point
You’ll meet your instructor at the Take Off Ibiza office about 30 minutes before your scheduled start. From there, the activity takes place in a safe, controlled environment on Ibiza’s coast, with a designated area for beginners. This ensures you’re in an optimal spot for learning and safety, away from boat traffic or busy beaches, allowing you to focus fully on mastering the jet board.
