Great tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Check in process was very smooth. Machine ran well. Dustin was a great guide! He gave a quick tutorial at the beginning that made me feel confident running a Jet ski when I haven't a ton of recent experience. He was quite knowledgeable about the areas we visited. We saw a ton of dolphins! There were a couple in the bay that were leaping in the air. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Dustin for a great tour.

So much fun!!!

We had an amazing time on our het ski tour. Our guide was extremely informative and showed us a wonderful time. He gave us the opportunity to have fun on the jet skis and gave my daughter an experience that she'll never forget!!

devon was our guide, fantastic experience! my husband , teen and i and one other couple-really like a private tour. Devon was super knowledgeable about the area, gave me reassurance when i was terrified driving alone at the beginning! super helpful with easy instructions and supportive as quite wavy out. I would 100% do this tour again, i feel best price and longest.
