This was absolutely... - This was absolutely incredible, I would definitely recommend the 9:00 am slot as the water was calm we saw tons of dolphins and were able to get right up next to them! We did see a few sting rays at shell island during our free ride as well. You travel together for about an hour then get about 45 minutes to just explore by yourself. You then meet back for the last 15 minutes to head in! As you are going out for the trip you do get to pass the naval base and see the ships from a distance obviously. We had zero experience on a jet ski it took like 5-10 minutes to get used to it but after that it was throttle all the way!

Great Guide, Dolphins Everywhere! - We loved having the combination of a guided tour and time by ourselves to explore. Our guide was fantastic and helped us find dolphins right away. We loved getting to spend time watching them circle around us. The area is beautiful, so even just getting a few hours to ride is worth the trip.

10/10 experience! - It is so fun and easy going. We were a little early and the only ones booked so we got started early. He gave us a run down and made sure we were comfortable on the ski before going to far. Within an hour or so we saw a dolphin!! We then went to shell island and walked around. We then got back on the jet skit with about an hour left. We forced to head back, and we saw a manta ray. Once we got back close we had 30-45 min left and he just let us ride around a certain area. 10/10 experience and would do it again, so fast!!!

Awesome - My wife never operated a jet ski before and she did fine. She was scared at first but had no problems. The guide was very nice and checked on the group frequently. He explained everything we needed to know. He searched for dolphins to make sure we saw some. There is two compartments on the jet ski to put personal items in. We had a great time!

Lot of Bang for the Buck. Excellent Tour - For my daughter’s birthday she wanted a jet ski experience and this tour did that. This tour included jet ski time, dolphins and beach time for an excellent price. I would recommend this to anyone young or old.
