What to Expect During the Ride
Beyond the initial safety briefing, you’re given the opportunity to handle the jet ski with basic instructions, which are described as easy to understand. Guides will lead you out of the marina and into open water, where you’re free to cruise around for about 20-30 minutes.
The reviews consistently highlight the friendly and professional staff—many specifically mention guides like Luca or Fali—who make the experience smooth and enjoyable. One reviewer said, “Luca gave us instructions (so easy to understand and operate) and led the way out the harbor where we had the run of the sea.”
The Scenic and Wildlife Highlights
Many travelers are captivated by the views of Malaga’s coast—crystal-clear waters, rugged shoreline, and distant mountains create a picturesque backdrop. Dolphin sightings are occasionally reported, adding a surprise element to the ride.
A reviewer shared, “We saw dolphins just in front of the port,” which, if you’re lucky, can turn a fun ride into a wildlife encounter. The opportunity for sea bathing also means you can cool off and enjoy some time floating in the water, making the experience both exhilarating and relaxing.
