Your adventure begins at either Cala Bassa Beach or San Antonio’s port, with the specific meeting point confirmed at the time of booking. We loved the convenience of meeting at a wooden hut in front of the beach, which keeps things simple and straightforward. The activity lasts approximately 45 minutes, a duration that provides just enough time to get your adrenaline flowing without feeling rushed.

The Training and Safety Briefing
What stood out immediately was the training session provided by the guide, usually in fluent English, Italian, French, or Spanish. We appreciated how this wasn’t just a quick safety talk but a thorough explanation of driving rules, safety procedures, and basic jet ski operation. This approach helps even first-timers feel more comfortable and confident.
The guide, Alex (who was very approachable), made it clear that safety comes first, emphasizing the importance of keeping alcohol and drugs out of the picture. The included lifejacket and fuel are standard safety measures, and you’re encouraged to follow instructions closely.
The Ride to Cala Salada
Once prepared, it’s time to hit the water. The ride itself is a lively mix of zipping along the coast and enjoying the breathtaking scenery of Ibiza’s rugged coastline. We loved the way the guide led the group smoothly, providing a sense of security while allowing room for moments of genuine fun. The speed, combined with the panoramic views, creates an exhilarating yet safe experience.
