Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Illes Medes and secret coastal coves

Both the short and the longer route pass through or alongside the Reserva Natural de las Illes Medes and visit hidden coves beneath the coastal cliffs of the park.

THE GROUP

Small guided groups and modern jet skis

Tours run in reduced groups—explicitly a maximum of four jet skis on the shorter outing—and are led by a qualified guide, keeping the outing focused and controlled.

THE MOMENT

Driver flexibility mid-ride

If you hire a jet ski with a companion who is over 16, you may swap drivers halfway through the route, allowing both riders to take the helm.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

You’ll launch from the beach at L'Estartit and feel speed and sea spray as you run under coastal cliffs, cross the Illes Medes reserve and thread past hidden coves—either in a compact 30-minute loop or a longer one-hour traverse to Cala Montgó.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits—and who should rethink it.

1
Active pairs and friendsIdeal for two people sharing a jet ski (maximum two per machine) who want a short, high-adrenaline coastal run; drivers must be at least 16 years old.
2
Families with older childrenSuitable for families if the accompanying child meets the minimum height of 1.20 m; drivers and under-18s must follow authorization and age rules.
3
Novice ridersAccessible—no driving license required and a guide accompanies the group—but participants must be able to swim and follow safety briefings.
4
Non-swimmers or those with certain medical limitsNot a good match: knowing how to swim is mandatory and the operator requires participants to meet safety and identification rules.
