Coll Baix and Caves Guided Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Gojet · Bookable on Viator
Speed, caves, and a quick swim in Mallorca. I love the always-on guide supervision and the fact they send photos of your jet ski moments. You get a guided blast along the north coast from Alcúdia, a stop by the lighthouse island of Aucanada, and then time at the Coll Baix cove to swim in clear water—just note that meeting-point timing and instructions can feel tricky for some cruise arrivals.
This is set up for a small group (max 8), and it runs about 1 hour 30 minutes. The meeting point is at GOJET Alcudia Jet Ski tours in Puerto de Alcúdia (Alcudiamar area), and the tour is offered in English with a mobile ticket. One guide name that pops up in feedback is Juan, and people liked how he had time for photos and stayed friendly.
A couple practical items to consider before you book: you must bring an ID, you can’t drive the jet ski unless you’re at least 16 with a parent’s authorization, and passengers must be at least 5. Also, the price is per jet ski (up to 2 people), so your value depends on whether you’re sharing.

Key things to know before you go
- Small-group ride (max 8), which usually means more attention when you’re on the water
- Photos included, plus time taken for pictures during the ride
- North-coast route with a lighthouse island stop at Aucanada
- Coll Baix swim time in very clear cove water
- Good weather matters, since the tour requires solid conditions to run
Where the tour starts in Alcúdia (and how to avoid stress)
Your tour kicks off at GOJET Alcudia JET SKI tours, in Puerto de Alcúdia near the Alcudiamar area (the meeting point is clearly tied to the port district). The big win here is location: it’s near public transportation, so you’re not forced into a long scramble across town if you’re not driving.
Still, this is the one place you should be extra careful. Jet ski tours live and die by timing, and the water isn’t patient. If you’re arriving by cruise, your ship schedule can shift, and pickup instructions need to be crisp—so I’d treat your confirmation and meeting details like they’re part of the safety briefing, not an optional extra.
Plan to show up a bit early with your documents ready. Everyone has to bring a document of identity, and that’s not the kind of thing you want to realize at check-in.

The 90-minute flow: jet ski time, lighthouse island, then Coll Baix
The pace is built for people who want real water time, not a long sightseeing parade. You’ll ride along the north coast of Mallorca, and the route includes a visit to the lighthouse island of Aucanada. Even if you’ve seen plenty of coastlines in Spain, this is different because you’re moving at jet ski speed—so the views stack up fast.
After Aucanada, you continue to the cove of Coll Baix. This is where the tour shifts from speeding to slowing down, with a chance to swim in the cove’s clear water. The swim stop is short enough to keep the tour lively, but long enough that it feels like more than a quick dip.
The title also promises caves, and that matches what you’ll experience from the water: you’re in the right area to see cave features along the coast, with the guide keeping things organized while you enjoy the scenery. Expect the cave portion to feel like part of the route rather than a long on-foot hike—this is still a jet ski tour.
Coll Baix swim: crystal-clear water, but mind the conditions
Coll Baix is the emotional payoff of the trip. You get to stop in a cove setting and actually swim, and the water is known for being unusually clear. If you like your vacations with a mix of adrenaline and a cold-water reset, this is the kind of stop you’ll remember.
That said, swims on a jet ski schedule mean you’ll be at the mercy of the day. The experience requires good weather, and if conditions are poor, you’ll be offered another date or a full refund. In other words: don’t bank on perfect water every day, but you can count on the operator to care about running the trip safely.
For your side of the deal, bring swim-ready basics (and don’t wear something you’ll hate getting wet). Also, if you’re the kind of person who hates handling gear on a windy dock, prepare your “keep-it-simple” routine before you arrive.
How the guide supervision works out on the water
What stands out most is that you’re not left to fend for yourself. You’ve got supervision from a guide at all times, which matters because jet skis are fun in a very physical way—fast turns, shifting wakes, and the constant need to pay attention.
That constant guidance shows up in how the ride feels. You’re not doing a lonely drive across open water. You’re following a plan, with breaks and direction so you can enjoy the scenery without turning your trip into a stress test.
Photos are part of the experience too. The operator provides photos of you riding, and feedback specifically called out how guides took time for pictures. That’s a practical detail: you don’t just speed past the views; you’re likely to have something to take home that actually captures the moment.
One more nice touch: rider changes are handled smoothly. If you’re sharing the jet ski, or if you swap who drives during the tour, the process is meant to be straightforward rather than a big logistical headache.
Jet ski rules: age limits and the rider math
Here are the rules you need to know upfront:
- Minimum age to drive is 16, with parental authorization
- Minimum age for a passenger is 5
- Price is per jet ski, and up to 2 people can go on a jet ski
That rider math is the difference between “this is expensive” and “this is a great deal.” If you go with one other person and share the jet ski, you effectively split the cost. With a $240.16 per-group price (up to 2), the value feels much stronger when two people share the same unit.
If you’re traveling solo and the tour still runs as a per-jet-ski purchase, then you’ll feel the cost more. In that case, ask yourself whether you truly want to be the one doing the driving—or if you’d rather do another activity with a lower entry fee.
Also, everyone needs an ID. It’s not just for show; it’s part of keeping the legal and safety side squared away.
Price and value: when this tour makes sense for your Mallorca trip
At $240.16 per group (up to 2), this isn’t a budget activity. But it also isn’t “paying for a view from a bus seat.” You’re paying for:
- guided jet ski time for the group size
- a route that includes Aucanada lighthouse island and Coll Baix cove
- swim time
- photos delivered of your ride
If you like active travel, this is the kind of outing that can replace a full day of “just wandering.” You spend limited time on setup and transportation, then most of the experience is out on the water.
Where value can slip is if your group doesn’t line up well with the jet ski setup. If you have only one rider who can drive and you can’t share efficiently, you’re paying full boat for one jet ski. That’s why I think this tour works best for two people who want the same kind of day: fast, scenic, and water-based.
Weather, timing, and why the sea is the boss
This experience requires good weather. That matters more than people expect, because jet ski riding is not like walking around in light rain. Wind and sea conditions affect comfort and safety, and the operator may shift you to another date or refund you if it’s canceled due to weather.
The tour duration is about 1 hour 30 minutes. That’s long enough to feel like a real outing, but short enough that you can fit it into a Mallorca itinerary without losing the whole day. If you’re the type who hates being tied up for hours, this duration is a win.
One more timing note: meeting point clarity matters. The negative experience that comes up is less about the water and more about confusion on where to meet and when—especially when the schedule changes late. My practical advice is simple: confirm the meeting time you’re given and read the instructions like you’re following a recipe. If anything looks vague, message early and get the exact meeting details in writing before you head to the port.
Who should book Coll Baix and caves, and who should skip it
This tour is a strong match if you want:
- a guided active Mallorca experience (not just sightseeing)
- jet ski time plus a swim stop in a cove
- photos of what you did, without having to chase a camera
- a small group (max 8), so you’re not lost in a crowd
It may not be the best fit if:
- your schedule is messy (like tight cruise-day timing) and meeting instructions worry you
- you want a slow, relaxed pace with lots of waiting and time on land (this is mainly on the water)
- nobody in your group meets the driving age rules, since at least one driver must meet the 16+ with parental authorization requirement
Should you book this tour?
If you and a friend can share the jet ski, and you’re okay with the idea that weather rules the day, this is a high-value pick for northern Mallorca. I’d book it when you want a memorable, hands-on “Mallorca day” that’s short, guided, and built around water time.
If you’re coming in from a cruise or your arrival timing might shift, book only if you can get clear written meeting details and you’re confident you can make the start time. The activity itself sounds great—just don’t let last-minute logistics steal your energy before you even reach the water.
