About this tour
When Alex from our team took this jet ski run from San Antonio, we zipped out to Es Vedrà, the dramatic 400-metre limestone spike that dominates Ibiza's western skyline. The 90-minute excursion loops the coastline — hitting turquoise coves like Cala Conta and Cala Bassa, cruising past Isla Conejera, and getting a close look at the mythical island itself before a swim in its gin-clear waters. You're on a two-seater jet ski with a guide leading the way. It's a proper coastal survey, and the adrenaline factor is high.
Highlights
- Jet ski right up to Es Vedrà — close enough to feel its scale
- Crystal turquoise coves (Cala Conta, Cala Bassa) you'd miss from land
- Guided swim stop in pristine water near the island
- Coast views most tourists never see — hidden caves and rocky outcrops
- Two-seater setup means a mate gets the ride with you
- Specialist monitor handles safety and route knowledge
- Fuel and lifevest included — no surprise costs
What to expect
You'll meet at the San Antonio launch point and get a safety brief from your guide — lifevests on, jet ski controls walked through, then off. The pace is fast but not reckless; the guide sets the rhythm and you follow their line. First 20 minutes are pure acceleration along the coastline, spotting coves and rock formations most tourists only see in Instagram posts. Then you're circling Es Vedrà itself — it's imposing and strange up close, silhouetted against the sky. The group pulls in for a swim stop, and the water is genuinely that turquoise. You'll loop back via the eastern coast, spotting tower ruins and sundials perched on the cliffs above. The jet ski itself demands attention — you're leaning into turns, managing throttle — so it's not passive sightseeing. It's physical, slightly intense, and exhilarating.

Good to know
This beats a crowded boat tour hollow. You're covering serious coastline in 90 minutes and actually moving through it rather than sitting stationary. The swim stop is genuine — you're not just motoring past Es Vedrà. If you're comfortable on water and want adrenaline mixed with scenery, it delivers. Suits confident swimmers and anyone after a different kind of coastal experience.
Jet skis are loud and fuel-thirsty, so expect fumes and noise — not zen. The ride is rough if the sea's choppy, and spray will soak you despite the lifevest. Not suitable if you have back or spine issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns — the guide's liability stance on this is firm. Early morning starts are typical. Bring a rash vest or old shirt under your lifevest to avoid chafing. The guide controls the route; you follow. Group size varies. Peak season (June–August) books faster. Public transport gets you to San Antonio; check your accommodation's distance beforehand.
