About this tour
When Ben from our team tried the Atlantis Jet Ski Tour from San Antonio, he found himself piloting a two-seater across some of Ibiza's most striking coastal scenery. The 1 hour 50 minute run takes you out past the dramatic rocky formations of Atlantis — a spot locals reckon has an almost mythical quality thanks to the crystal-clear water and unusual geology. You'll weave through natural landscapes, including the iconic silhouette of Es Vedrá and a string of pristine coves (Cala Compte, Cala Tarida, Cala Vadella, Cala d'Hort) that most visitors only spot from land. After a quick safety briefing, you're loose on the water.
Highlights
- Jet ski past Es Vedrá — Ibiza's most recognisable island landmark
- Navigate through glassy coves with names worth remembering
- Spot the geological oddities that give Atlantis its reputation
- Two-person ski lets you bring a mate along for the ride
- Fuel and safety gear included in the price
- Crystal-clear water makes the rocky formations genuinely striking
- Access to multiple coves most island tours skip
What to expect
The day starts with a brief safety rundown and basic handling instructions — nothing elaborate, but enough to get you confident on the throttle. Once you're kitted out in your lifejacket, you're on the water within minutes. The speed and power of a jet ski hits differently when you're threading it through narrow cove entrances; Ben found the sensation addictive. You'll cruise past Es Vedrá (expect to slow down here — the backdrop is worth a moment), then dart into and out of several coves in quick succession. The water clarity is genuinely impressive, and the rocky outcrops that define Atlantis look otherworldly close up.
Pacing feels brisk rather than leisurely — you're covering ground and soaking up scenery without much idle time. The whole affair has a playful edge; you're in control, not being shepherded through a scripted route. Weather and water conditions can shift things (wind and chop do affect the ride), so don't expect glassy conditions every day.

Good to know
If you like speed, control, and coastal drama without the tour-bus experience, this delivers. The two-seater model means couples or mates get their own machine, and the inclusion of fuel removes the sting of unexpected petrol charges. The route hits genuinely beautiful spots — Cala d'Hort and Cala Vadella alone are worth the outing if you haven't seen them from the water.
Jet skis are loud and physically demanding; if you've got spinal issues, cardiovascular concerns, or you're pregnant, this isn't for you. The ride can feel jarring in choppy water, and full-day soreness in shoulders and arms isn't uncommon. Summer crowds mean the coves get busy (other boats, swimmers), so don't expect solitude. Parking and access are straightforward — public transport is nearby if you're staying in town — but you'll need to factor in a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride to the departure point. Bring sunscreen (seriously — glare off the water is intense), sunglasses with a strap, and a dry bag for your phone. Wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked. No hidden costs beyond the ticket, though a GoPro rental might tempt you at checkout.
