If you’re looking for an adrenaline-filled day that combines adventure, scenic beauty, and a touch of pirate-inspired fun, the Mallorca Alcudia Jack Sparrow Cave Jet Ski Tour might be just what you need. For around $225 per group (up to 2 people), you get 90 minutes of high-speed fun on the water, crossing the tranquil Mediterranean to explore Jack Sparrow’s Cave, snorkel in clear waters, and visit Coll Baix Cove. Guided by friendly bilingual instructors, this tour strikes a good balance between excitement and sightseeing, making it ideal for those who want a memorable outdoor experience without needing a license.
What really draws us in are the curious rock formations surrounding the cave—perfect for snapping some photos—and the small group setting that ensures personalized attention. We also appreciate how the tour offers a combination of adventure and natural beauty, giving you a true taste of Mallorca’s coastline. The short training session at Alcudiajets means you don’t need prior experience, which is perfect if you’re new to jet skiing.
One minor consideration is that the tour lasts only 1.5 hours, so if you’re craving a longer thrill, this might feel a bit brief. Also, it’s not suitable for children under five, pregnant women, or those with back problems—so if you fall into those categories, it’s worth considering other options. This experience is best suited for adventurous travelers, nature lovers, or anyone eager to explore Mallorca’s waters in a lively, engaging way.
