About this tour
When Jake from our team took this 90-minute jet ski adventure in Alcudia, he piloted his own ski across the Bay's clear Mediterranean waters to a sea cave tucked near Aucanada Lighthouse Island. The setup is straightforward: gear up at the harbour, get your safety briefing, then throttle out to explore rock formations, snorkel in the cave, and loop past the pristine Es Coll Baix cove before heading back. It's a solid mix of speed and discovery, drawing a mix of thrill-seekers and curious snorkellers keen to see what the northern Majorcan coast hides.
Highlights
- Pilot your own jet ski across genuinely clear, shallow Mediterranean water
- Navigate into a proper sea cave with dramatic rock formations overhead
- Snorkel inside the cave itself, not just the surrounding bay
- Stop at Es Coll Baix cove — remote and rarely crowded
- Professional guide stays with the group throughout
- All gear (life jacket, snorkel kit, fuel) included upfront
- No licence or prior jet ski experience required
What to expect
Jake found the pace brisk and well-organised. You'll arrive at Alcudia Harbour, get fitted with a life jacket, receive a proper safety rundown covering the controls and basic handling, then split into pairs (one person drives, one rides shotgun — or go solo). The ride out to the lighthouse feels genuinely quick; the guide leads the way and you follow. The cave itself is the real draw: you'll cut the engine, drift in, and snorkel among the rock architecture. It's intimate without feeling cramped, and the water clarity means you'll actually see the formations.
The Cap de Menorca detour to Es Coll Baix breaks up the intensity nicely — a quiet cove where you can float and soak in the view before the return leg. Weather can swing the experience: calm seas mean smoother handling and better snorkelling; choppier days make jet ski control harder work. Crowds vary by season, but because you're piloting yourself rather than just watching, the rush factor stays high regardless.

Good to know
If you like control and a bit of adrenaline, piloting your own jet ski beats sitting as a passenger. The cave stop is genuinely scenic and not a five-minute photo op — you get real time in the water. Snorkelling gear is supplied, the guide is attentive, and insurance is baked into the cost. Suits confident swimmers and moderate-fitness adults keen for something beyond a standard boat tour.
This is a physical activity — you're handling a jet ski in the sea for 90 minutes, which takes core strength and balance. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Kids under 6 can't go; under-16s need an adult rider. You must be 18 to drive and have at least moderate fitness. The harbour start means no pick-up included — you'll need to arrange your own transport or use local buses. Bring sunscreen and water; the sun and wind on the water are relentless. If you're prone to seasickness or discomfort in bumpy conditions, choppy days will be tough. Peak season (summer) can see back-to-back tours, so book early for a quieter slot.
