Take Off Ibiza returns for the summer to offer its full spectrum of aquatic adventures for adrenaline junkies everywhere; couples, groups or families looking for outdoor thrills are catered for too. Whatever your destination, be it excitement, relaxation and pleasure or all three, the company promises to meet all your needs at a pace to suit you.
Take Off Ibiza gives people an ideal way to explore the island - via the sea - with birds-eye views of its stunning coastline, beaches and crystal-clear waters as part of its packages. The range of watersports activities offered include Jet Pack experience, diving, parasailing, speedboat adventures and jet skiing. The Jet Boat 360° takes exhilaration to a new level with awe-inspiring stunts designed to excite everyone taking part.
The Speed Boat Adventure tours consist of trips via speedboat to the north or south of the island that take you on an adventure of discovery via the many small outlying islands. You are then whisked off to see hidden coves, reefs and caves. Swimming and snorkeling during scheduled stops is included as is the chance to explore the water more directly with some cutting-edge water toys. For those looking to relax, evening speedboat tours with music and drinks give people the chance to unwind and experience the magnificent sunset and vistas out at sea.
For those looking for a true natural high, Take Off Ibiza also gives pleasure-seekers the chance to parasail amidst the stunning beauty of the San Antonio Bay. Gliding at heights of up to 400 metres you are offered the ability take in mountains, the rich honeyed rock of the coast – all with that heart-in-the-mouth experience of adrenaline pumping through your body.
If feeling the spray of the waves on your body is on the agenda, then getting on board on one of the company’s jet skis is another exhilarating way to get your heart beating faster. There are many options: 30 minute beginners’ trips, with instructors; tours to the majestic Es Vedrá and Islas Margaritas; or, if you have your own jet ski licence, you can hire jet skis for a full or half-day access-all-areas experience.
Water toys, like the Seabob, a kind of underwater scooter, give an even more direct experience of the sea, allowing you to move fishlike through the water. You can go close to the surface or dive down fast through the water like a sailfish. The Bladefish Seajet gives you a similar experience but at lower velocity for underwater exploration.
Speed and stunt enthusiasts are welcomed to try out the Jet Boat 360°, which the firm reckons to be unequalled on the island for water stunts: 360- and 180-degree spins, high-speed cruising, wave jumping and power break stops all come in this multi-sensory voyage. Backed by a huge sound system, this promises some turbo-charged fun.
Please note that the Jet Ski and Jet Pack activities are also available in Playa den Bossa.
