2025 Jet Ski Tour Review: Exploring Lloret, Blanes, and Tossa de Mar

So, you’re thinking about zipping across the waves of the Costa Brava, right? I mean, the idea of a jet ski tour along the Spanish coast is pretty amazing. You get the sun, the incredible speed, and views that, honestly, you just can’t get from the shore. This isn’t your average walk on the beach; it’s a totally different way to see places like Lloret de Mar, Blanes, and the stunning Tossa de Mar. Anyway, I got to check out what the 2025 season has in store for the tour that connects these three towns. At the end of the day, I wanted to share a real, straightforward look at the experience, you know, to help you figure out if it’s the right adventure for your holiday. It’s the kind of thing where you have to feel the sea spray on your face to really get it.

First Impressions: Gearing Up in Lloret de Mar

Okay, so arriving at the waterfront in Lloret de Mar is, like, a whole mood in itself. You basically feel the energy right away, with all the beach activity and sounds of the sea. Checking in for the tour was, sort of, surprisingly simple. The team there was actually very relaxed and friendly, which is a good start, you know. They didn’t rush anyone; instead, they took the time to make sure we all understood what was going to happen. As I was saying, they handed out life jackets, which were, like, very modern and fit well, not the old, bulky kind. It’s almost a little thing, but it makes a big difference in how comfortable you feel from the get-go.

The safety briefing was next, and frankly, this part is always a bit serious. The guide explained the jet ski controls in a very clear way, sort of using hand signals we’d see on the water. For instance, a thumbs-up meant everyone was good, and an arm wave was to get their attention, you know, stuff like that. Honestly, they made it feel less like a lecture and more like a helpful chat. We learned how to keep a safe distance from other skis, and by the way, they were very firm about respecting the local wildlife and protected areas. At the end of the day, that respect for the environment was something I really appreciated. You could tell they cared about the sea, which, to be honest, made the whole operation feel more professional.

The Ride Begins: Speeding Towards Blanes

Alright, so climbing onto the jet ski for the first time is a bit of a thrill. I mean, the machine feels powerful, just sitting there in the water. The guide gives the signal, and you, like, gently squeeze the throttle for the first time. First, you’re just kind of idling out of the main marina area. But then you clear the breakwater, and the guide signals that it’s okay to open it up. Seriously, that first burst of speed is incredible. The water changes from calm to a rushing spray, and you are literally flying across the surface of the Mediterranean. You feel totally free out there; it’s a feeling that is, sort of, hard to describe.

As we made our way south from Lloret, the coastline unfolded in a pretty spectacular way. You just see all these grand hotels and apartment blocks of Lloret slowly getting smaller behind you. Instead, you start to see more natural cliffs and trees. The destination for this part of the trip was Blanes, which is basically the next town over. The most famous landmark there is Sa Palomera, this huge rock that, you know, officially marks the beginning of the Costa Brava. Seeing it from the water is just a completely different perspective than seeing it from the beach. We paused there for a bit, bobbing in the water, and it was a great chance to take some pictures. You really get a sense of the scale of the coastline from that vantage point, right.

A Different Vibe: Discovering the Coves Around Tossa de Mar

Now, heading north from Lloret towards Tossa de Mar, the character of the ride completely changes, you know. It’s almost like you’ve entered a different world. The sandy beaches and town views are replaced by a much more rugged and, frankly, wilder coastline. You’re actually zipping past these towering cliffs that have been shaped by the sea for, like, thousands of years. The guide, who was very knowledgeable, led the group single file through these narrower passages. It was seriously cool. It is that feeling of exploration that makes this part of the journey stand out.

The best part is discovering all the little hidden spots that, at the end of the day, are impossible to reach by land. We found these little coves, or ‘calas’, with water so clear you could literally see the fish swimming below your jet ski. In one of these spots, the guide signaled for us to stop our engines. We just, you know, floated there in total silence for a few minutes, taking it all in. The water was so inviting that a few of us, like, slipped off the skis for a quick swim. That was absolutely a high point. It’s moments like that, just you and the raw nature of the Costa Brava, that are really memorable. It’s sort of a quiet adventure between the high-speed fun.

The Main Event: Tossa de Mar’s Walled City from the Sea

The magnificent medieval walled town and castle of Tossa de Mar as seen from the water.

Honestly, you could think the whole trip has been building up to this one moment. As you round the final headland, you see it, and it’s just… well, it’s pretty stunning. The Vila Vella, the old walled town of Tossa de Mar, is literally perched on the cliff right in front of you. You see the stone towers and ramparts that have stood there since the Middle Ages. I mean, to see this historic fortress from the seat of a super-modern jet ski is a contrast that is actually quite special. The guide gave us plenty of time to idle and just stare at it, which was a very good call.

You’re so close that you can see all the details in the stonework and the windows of the old houses inside the walls. It’s sort of a view that makes you feel very small in a good way. It connects you to all the history that happened right there.

Seeing Tossa de Mar appear from the sea is one of those travel memories that, you know, really sticks with you. It’s completely different from walking through its streets; it gives you a sense of its old purpose as a lookout over the sea.

At the end of the day, this is the postcard picture you came for, and it absolutely does not disappoint. It’s a genuinely breathtaking moment and pretty much the highlight of an already fantastic tour.

Practical Pointers and What to Expect in 2025

Okay, so if you’re planning on doing this tour, here are a few thoughts to keep in mind. Basically, it’s an amazing experience, but a little preparation goes a long way. The jet skis they used were, you know, very modern and surprisingly stable, so even if you’re a beginner, you will probably feel comfortable after just a few minutes. Anyway, the guides are really good at matching the pace to the group’s comfort level, which is a big plus.

Here’s a quick list of things to consider, right:

  • Who is this for? Honestly, it’s great for almost everyone. I saw couples, groups of friends, and even families with older teenagers. As long as you have a sense of adventure, you’ll pretty much have a good time.
  • What to bring? Definitely wear swimwear you’re comfortable in. You will get wet, that’s a fact. Waterproof sunscreen is also a must because the sun reflecting off the water is, like, very strong. Some people had waterproof phone cases or action cameras, which seemed like a very smart idea.
  • Booking in 2025: The Costa Brava is super popular in the summer. So, I would really suggest booking your tour well in advance, especially if you have a specific date in mind. Leaving it to the last minute might mean you miss out.
  • Driving the Ski: You don’t need a special license for these guided tours, which is great. The guide is technically the one in charge. You just, sort of, need to be able to follow instructions and be reasonably fit to hang on.

At the end of the day, it’s an incredibly fun way to experience the beauty of this part of Spain. The mix of high-speed action and stunning scenery is hard to beat. Just make sure you’re ready for an adventure.
