Mallorca: 25-Minute Palma Beach Jet Ski Excursion

Mallorca: 25-Minute Palma Beach Jet Ski Excursion Review

If you’re headed to Mallorca and looking for a quick burst of adrenaline along its stunning coast, the 25-minute Palma Beach Jet Ski Excursion offers a lively way to see the shoreline from a different perspective. For around $91 per person, this adventure puts you on a powerful jet ski, chasing waves and exploring the rugged coastline, including nearby caves and the Bahía de Palma nature reserve.

What we love about this experience is how accessible it is — suitable for both beginners and more experienced riders — and the chance to get your adrenaline pumping with speed and twists on the water. Plus, the guides seem genuinely friendly and attentive, making sure everyone feels safe while still having a blast.

Of course, a possible consideration is that this tour doesn’t include hotel pickup, so you’ll need to make your way to the meeting point at Playa del Arenal. That’s a minor inconvenience, but worth noting if your accommodation isn’t close by. This tour is best suited for adventure-loving travelers, anyone curious about jet skis, or those wanting a quick, memorable splash of Mallorca’s maritime scenery.

What to Expect from the Mallorca Jet Ski Tour

This jet ski excursion starts at Playa del Arenal, a lively beach area known for its restaurants, bars, and water sports rentals. After a brief check-in and signing a contract, you’ll meet your guide—who speaks multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German—and receive a quick safety briefing.

Once on the powerful jet ski, you’ll accelerate along the coastline, feeling the wind and waves as you follow your guide. The pace is lively, making this experience as much about fun and thrill as about sightseeing. You’ll pass by caves and natural formations along Mallorca’s coast, which are especially striking when viewed from the water.

The entire ride lasts around 25 minutes, enough to get your adrenaline flowing but short enough to keep everyone engaged without fatigue. Throughout the trip, you’ll have opportunities to take pictures, so bring your waterproof camera or phone in a waterproof case — but be aware that cameras are not allowed on the jet ski itself, so plan accordingly.
