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!!!

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.
