Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!

Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe. My recommendation is to rent a jet ski yourself for less money and you can go at your own pace, especially if you have never done it before.',1.0,'2023-08-01T15:12:24Z','REV-d2EEEr+wsRvS3u25OL4uZLwxa+9vDiEzXnq/D05a8Jc=','en','195garethp','TRIPADVISOR'),('265429P2','Jet ski tour from San Antonio (Ibiza) to Margaritas Islands','Best Experience','This tour was wonderful!

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe.

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.

Starting positive, the issues with finding the booth that others have reported were not an issue. If you use any map app and locate the Ibiza egg you will end up a stones throw from a group of wooden huts beach side which includes the one for this tour.
Here’s where the good times end, the lady in the booth was fine, but the strange side kick guy outside was like a caricature of joey from friends, let’s say the approach towards females was not up to todays societal expectations.
Then we get to the jet ski experience. The prep goes something like this, get on, left trigger for reverse right trigger for go.
Then off shoots the boat at full speed and all the first time novices are expected to follow at full pelt from the get go.
I am a relatively strong 80kg guy and found it a tough learning curve to keep the thing going straight. This however prompts no slow down or tips from the boat driver. Turns out he’s in a rush, as the trip to the margaritas islands is pretty much exactly 25 mins at full blast. This also explains why, when you arrive at the “islands” which are actually just a few rocks protruding from the waterline…you get 1-2 mins of free time to swim and dive. Despite this being the only quiet time where perhaps a novice could have a less than full throttle trial of the jet ski, this is not allowed due to the risk of swimmers in the water….
Then it’s full blast back for 25 mins.
My partner did not feel there was ever a chance for her to drive the jet ski because it was demanded to keep up with the pace and this is a real rough experience requiring strong arms and a resistance to the pummelling of waves on the plastic hull.
Still so far I could put this down as just not the activity for us with some poor time planning limiting the enjoyment for first timers.
But there is more to come, remember “joey” from the beach hut. His only job is to bring shoes from the hut to the boat, but he didn’t manage that so we all walked on the hottest pavement imaginable back to the hut where he made the mistake of asking did everyone have a good time.
My partner at this point was pretty upset so gave a truthful feedback that they didn’t create any learning space or opportunity for her to try the jet ski at slower speeds and thus she had spent a lot of money and not even been able to drive it.
Here was the kicker… he told her “yes, it’s a bit hard for females”
I think you can imagine how this view point was received by all the women in the group. The hint to run the tour at the correct length to give a warm up and practice is not influenced by the sex of the person on the jet ski!
Needless to say I had to encourage my partner to leave before she did anything regrettable.
Hence ends my tale of woe.
