Ibiza isn’t just about party nights and beach clubs; it’s also a place where the sea reveals some of its best-kept secrets. For those craving a mix of adrenaline and natural beauty, the Jet Ski to Margarita Islands from San Antonio offers a compelling way to explore the island’s northern coast. For $215 per group of up to two people, you’ll spend about an hour zipping across the water, guided by friendly professionals who know the area well.
What makes this experience stand out? First, we love how it combines the thrill of jet skiing with the chance to see Ibiza from a completely different perspective — from the sea, where hidden coves and dramatic cliffs are suddenly accessible. Second, the opportunity to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters at the Margarita Islands is a real highlight, offering a refreshing break from the high-speed ride.
A possible consideration? The tour requires no prior jet ski experience, which is great for beginners, but it does mean you’ll need to be comfortable on the water and follow safety instructions closely. It’s not designed for very young children or pregnant women, so check that you’re eligible before booking. This tour suits adventurous travelers who want a quick, action-packed escape into Ibiza’s sea, combined with stunning scenery and a splash of marine life.

Starting Point and Logistics
The adventure begins at Jet Ski Ibiza Es Vedrà Tours & Boat Rentals, marked by a big Yamaha flag, conveniently located right below Hotel Es Mitjorn and next to El Pan de Lexa Coffee Shop. If you’re driving, the Parking Plaza España is your best bet. The tour lasts one hour, with several start times depending on availability, so it’s wise to check in advance. The price covers a jet ski for up to two people, which makes it a good deal if you’re traveling as a duo or even a small group.
Your Guide and Safety Briefing
After meeting your guide — who speaks Spanish, English, French, Italian, and Arabic — you’ll receive a quick safety briefing. This lasts about three minutes and is key to making sure everyone feels comfortable before hitting the water. Don’t worry; no prior qualification or experience is necessary. We appreciated how clear and friendly the instructions were, making it easy for first-timers to feel confident.
The Ride to the Margarita Islands
As the engine roars to life, you’ll start your journey along the coast, passing by beautiful beaches and secret coves. The route takes you past Sant Antoni de Portmany before heading toward the north coast of Ibiza. The scenery here is impressive — sheer cliffs, rocky outcroppings, and striking blue waters.
The highlight is crossing the horseshoe-shaped Ses Margaritas Islet, which is crossed through a dramatic arch that many boats shy away from. This natural formation is a true photo opportunity and a symbol of Ibiza’s rugged coastline.
