Experience the Thrill: Jet Ski Excursion from Barcelona to Sitges
Imagine zipping along the Mediterranean coast on a powerful jet ski, feeling the wind in your hair and the waves beneath you. For about five hours, this tour takes you from Barcelona’s bustling shoreline to the charming town of Sitges, with plenty of scenic stops and high-octane moments along the way. Priced at $529 per group up to 2, this excursion offers a blend of adventure, natural beauty, and a touch of local flavor.
What we love about this experience is the smooth blend of adrenaline and scenery—the thrill of riding a Sea-Doo GTX Pro 130, and the chance to see Barcelona’s iconic coastline from the water. Plus, the inclusion of wetsuits, life jackets, and a light breakfast makes it feel both fun and well-organized.
On the downside, keep in mind that this activity requires good physical condition since it’s quite high-energy and lasts several hours. It’s not suited for everyone, especially those with limited mobility or pregnant women. But if you’re looking for an action-packed day on the water, this adventure could be just the ticket. It’s perfect for adventure lovers, first-time jet skiers, or anyone wanting to combine sightseeing with a rush of adrenaline.

We loved the way the tour begins with a close-up view of Barcelona’s urban landscape, a rare chance to see the city from a different perspective.

Although this excursion doesn’t stop here, the scenery is a reminder of the area’s ecological richness.

We also appreciate the light breakfast, which is a simple but thoughtful touch—because after several hours of high-energy activity, a bit of fuel is welcome. The wetsuit and safety gear provided help you stay comfortable and secure, regardless of the water temperature.
