Peguera: Racing Car Drive and Jet Ski Combo Tour

Mallorca gives you two very different kinds of speed in one afternoon: a manual Formula-style car on coastal and mountain roads, then a jet ski heading for a cove and sea cave. You start in Peguera and finish back at the same office, but the scenery changes from island roads to open water.

I like the contrast between the scenic road route, with stops around Palma and the southwest coast, and the jet-ski run to Cala en Basset and S’Agilau Cave. One important catch: drivers need to be at least 21 with two years of driving experience, and the cars are manual. If you’re not comfortable with a stick shift, this is not the right outing.

At a glance

• Two activities, one afternoon: The car tour runs from 3:00 to 5:30 PM, followed by the jet-ski tour from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.
• Mallorca by road: The drive can take in Puerto Portals, Palma, Port Andratx, Camp de Mar, and Cala Fornells, with the exact route subject to time and traffic.
• One hour on the water: The guided jet-ski portion visits Cala en Basset and S’Agilau Cave.
• Small group: A maximum of eight participants makes this a more compact outing than a large coach tour.
• Mind the driver fee: The price is $206 per person, but driver insurance costs an extra €30 at the office.
• Check how you book as a pair: Two people booking together share one car and one jet ski. To have two of each, book twice for one person.

From Peguera toward Palma

Meet at the Formula Tours office at Carrer de La Savina, 8, in Peguera. The first part of the day is a guided drive in a manual Formula-style car. This is a road tour, not a circuit session: the appeal is the combination of driving and coastal scenery, rather than racing on a track.

The route heads out along the coast of Calvià toward Palma. Puerto Portals is the first planned stop, giving you a chance to pause in a well-known marina area before continuing toward the island’s capital. The drive then passes Palma’s Nautical Club and the Cathedral, with another stop for photographs.

That brief pause matters. A car tour can show you a lot of coastline, but it is easy to blur landmarks together when you only see them from the road. Time to get out and take pictures gives you a moment to register Palma’s waterfront and cathedral before the tour moves on.

After Palma, the route follows the Paseo Marítimo in the direction of Port Andratx. A stop there may depend on the time and traffic, so treat it as a possibility rather than a guaranteed visit. The tour continues through Camp de Mar and Cala Fornells before returning to Peguera.

The route is ambitious for a 2.5-hour drive, with several named places spread across the southwest. One participant found that the actual drive differed from the route they had expected, though the mountain roads and S-bends made for an enjoyable outing. That is useful to keep in mind: the order and precise stops may change, and traffic can affect the plan. If a specific photo stop matters to you, ask about the route when you arrive.

What the Formula-style drive is really like

The car portion puts you in the driver’s seat, but the tour’s character depends on more than the car itself. You need to be happy driving a manual transmission, following a guide, and sharing the road with ordinary traffic. The listed stops and sightseeing make this a scenic drive with a sporty feel, not a free-form speed run.

The minimum age for the driver is 21, with at least two years of driving experience. A passenger, or copilot, must be at least six. Child seats are included, which is useful for families who meet the age rules, but the driver requirement still makes this a poor fit if the adults in your group cannot drive manual.

The tour provides helmets, and a guide is available in English, German, or Spanish. The small-group limit of eight helps keep the outing personal, although the number of cars and how participants are paired may affect how much direct attention each person gets. The supplied details do not name individual guides, so there is no particular guide to request.

A pause before the water

The schedule leaves a half-hour between the car tour, which ends at 5:30 PM, and the jet-ski outing, which starts at 6:00 PM. The activity is described as four hours in total, running from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. A transfer between the two parts is included, so you do not have to arrange your own transport for that changeover.

Bring swimwear, a towel, and sunglasses, along with comfortable shoes for the land portion. Sandals and flip-flops are not allowed. The break is short, so arrive ready for the water rather than counting on time to return to your accommodation or make a leisurely change.

One drink per person is included. The details do not specify the drink or exactly when it is served, so think of it as a small extra, not a reason to skip bringing water if you need it.

Cala en Basset and S’Agilau Cave

The final hour is on a jet ski, with a guide leading the group toward Cala en Basset. The cove is the main water-side pause, described for its clear water. The tour then continues to S’Agilau Cave, where the group enters for photographs.

This gives the outing a different rhythm from the road section. Instead of moving between towns and viewpoints, you travel along the coast by water and stop at two natural features. The cave visit is a particular draw if you want more than a straightforward ride out and back, though the available details do not specify how long the group stays at either stop.

The one-hour duration is worth interpreting realistically. It refers to the guided jet-ski tour, including the journey and visits, rather than a full hour spent swimming or taking photos. If you mainly want a long beach break, this compact guided outing may not meet that expectation. If you want a brisk ride with a couple of memorable coastal stops, it fits better.

A life jacket is included, as is full insurance for the activity, but there is a separate €30 driver-insurance charge payable at the office. Because the terms distinguish between included insurance and the driver fee, confirm what the additional charge covers before setting off. Bring a credit card, which is among the requested items.

The price, and the two-person detail

At $206 per person, this is a relatively costly half-day activity. Its value comes from combining two guided experiences, transport between them, equipment such as helmets and life jackets, a drink, and the chance to see both the coast from the road and the water. If you would otherwise book a car tour and a jet-ski trip separately, the convenience of doing both in one afternoon may be worth paying for.

Still, compare the separate activity prices before booking. The car and jet ski are distinct outings, and buying them separately may work out cheaper. The combo has a clear advantage in simplicity, but it is not automatically the lowest-cost option.

There is also a booking detail that matters for couples. A reservation for two people provides one car and one jet ski, so you share each vehicle rather than getting one apiece. If you want two separate vehicles, the instructions say to make two bookings for one person each. Confirm that arrangement with the provider before paying, especially if having your own vehicle is central to your plans.

The €30 driver-insurance charge is another cost to add to the budget. The stated $206 price is per person, but the supplied details do not explain whether that extra fee is charged once per driver or in another way. Ask the office to confirm the total for your party.

Who will enjoy this outing

This combo makes the most sense if you want a varied afternoon and are comfortable with both a guided road drive and a guided water activity. It suits confident manual drivers who like coastal roads, short sightseeing stops, and a jet-ski ride with a cave visit. The small group limit is a plus if you prefer a more contained outing.

It is less suitable if you want to spend a long time at any one place. The car route has several potential stops, and the jet-ski portion has two named highlights within an hour. Timing and traffic can affect the road itinerary, while the water portion is designed as a guided tour rather than an unstructured swim session.

Families should look closely at the age rules. Children can ride as copilots from age six, but the pilot must meet the adult age and experience requirements. The information does not state a separate minimum age for jet-ski passengers, so check directly with Formula Tours if a child will join the water portion.

The overall rating is 4.7 from 18 reviews, a strong score for a mixed-activity outing. The praise centers on the excitement of the day and the road drive, including mountain roads and S-bends. One account also noted that the jet-ski guide seemed less engaged, a reminder that the quality of a guided activity can vary by day. You are booking a lively combination, not a guarantee that every part will feel equally polished.

Practical details before you book

The meeting point is the Formula Tours office at Carrer de La Savina, 8, in Peguera. Bring your passport or ID card, driver’s license, credit card, sunglasses, swimwear, towel, and comfortable shoes. Leave sandals and flip-flops at home.

The activity is offered in English, German, and Spanish. It allows free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, and you can reserve now and pay later. Check availability for the starting time, though the stated schedule for the car and jet-ski portions is 3:00 to 5:30 PM and 6:00 to 7:00 PM.

Before booking, settle three points: whether the route includes the stops you most want, how the extra driver insurance is charged, and how vehicles are assigned if you are booking as a pair. Those details can make the difference between a smooth afternoon and an expensive surprise.

Should you book it?

Book this tour if the appeal is the contrast: Mallorca’s coastal and mountain roads first, then a jet ski to Cala en Basset and S’Agilau Cave. The mix, small group size, and included transfer make it an efficient way to fit two active experiences into one afternoon.

Skip it if you cannot drive a manual car, want a guaranteed stop at every named place, or prefer to spend more time swimming than riding. At $206 per person plus the driver-insurance fee, compare the cost of booking the activities separately. If the combo price works for your plans and you meet the driving rules, it offers a busy, memorable way to see Mallorca from two very different angles.
