“I booked the tour with my daughter. Booking was uncomplicated. As part of the tour there was a short briefing, after which we drove out to sea towards the caves. Unfortunately, that day we could only stand in front of it as it would have been too dangerous to drive in there due to the relatively high waves. Afterwards we drove towards Coll Baix beach. Afterwards we had about 20 minutes of free sailing before we returned to the port. Overall, I highly recommend the tour. The 1.5 hours of jet skiing were completely enough.”
