Jet ski, flyboard or parasailing: what to choose?
If you want adrenaline at sea, the jet ski is not the only option. Flyboard and parasailing are also big hits on the Spanish coast. We compare the three so you choose the one that suits you best.
Jet ski: speed and freedom
The jet ski is the most versatile: you ride, you set the pace and you cover the coast. Suitable for almost everyone, with or without a license. It is the star activity and the easiest to combine with a route around the coves. Explore areas in the national directory.
Flyboard: flying over the water
The flyboard lifts you above the water propelled by pressurised jets. It is spectacular and very photogenic, but requires balance and a few minutes of learning. Sessions are usually short and include an instructor.
Parasailing: the best views
Parasailing means flying under a parachute towed by a boat. It is the calmest and most panoramic option: it requires no effort and is suitable for almost all ages. Ideal if you want gentle thrills and views.

Which to choose?
If you want to ride and cover the coast, the jet ski. If you are after the impossible photo and do not mind falling a few times, the flyboard. If you are going as a family or prefer something relaxed, parasailing. Many bases offer all three, so you can combine them. Before any of them, go over the checklist.
