Good experience - The crew on the boat was fantastic but the 2 females back on shore with the photos were rude and not friendly at all. We walked away not buying our pictures but we do regret now having them.

Fun for the whole family - I think this is a great way to experience riding a personal watercraft. The people there were very knowledgeable about how to use it, and went over every item so each driver knew how to run the jet ski effectively and safely. We really had a great time.

Fun! - Experience was amazing! Highly recommend! They strap a GoPro to the ski and it costs $65 for the pics and video but worth it in my opinion. Can’t put a price on good memories!

Nice Close Course Jet-skiing - This is a 30 minute set course ride, in the shape of a triangle, only making right hand turns. Max speed is blocked at 30mph. The operators were fine, and definitely kept a tight schedule. Bring goggles if you have them, or they have one available for rent at $10. The pictures and video package was great for our family of five in three skis. Each with 15 minutes of pictures, and 15 minutes of video. You can expect to spend $100 on the media package for five people. They have other activities available that you can do while you’re out with them (banana float, parasailing, etc.) with more GoPro setups which is nice.

Disappointing - Limited space to ride and the trip to and from the boat is included in the 1 hour 30 mins span. Bring your own go pro unless u want to spend 60-70 on picture package. It’s basically a lap race and it’s boring. Only good thing was that the staff was pretty cool.

Disappointed - It says 1 hr 30 minutes but its not. They count from the time you check in, drive you to the water area, safety rules and actually only 30 minutes riding around a block over and over again at 30 miles per hour. Might as well take your money and go see the zoo. Ive done over 10 jetski excursions and this is one I would give negative 5 stars!!!!

People at the front... - People at the front counter just try to get more and more money out of you. Tried charging $75 for some GoPro pictures after they over charged my group for the 30 minutes we had on the water. I would absolutely not recommend this dump.

Quick, Courteous, and Somewhat Disappointing - I went into this jet ski excursion with high hopes, but unfortunately it fell a bit short of expectations. The staff were polite and friendly enough, though the overall experience felt very rushed—more like being moved through an assembly line than welcomed into an adventure. There wasn’t much engagement or enthusiasm beyond getting people on and off the jet skis as quickly as possible. The ride itself was quite limited. The jet skis were restricted to around 30–35 mph, and the entire excursion consisted of riding in one large, uniform circle for about half an hour. It felt repetitive and overly controlled, which took away from the sense of freedom and excitement you’d expect. The description of the excursion was also very vague and didn’t accurately convey what the experience would actually be like. With clearer expectations and a more dynamic route, this could be much more enjoyable.
