Fantastic tour with awesome guides! Highly recommend! - My husband and I vacationed in South Padre Island in February. We were a bit apprehensive about taking a jet ski tour in chilly weather but we don't regret it a bit! Our guides Aaron and Devin were so interesting and funny that we forgot it was windy and in the 60s. We saw dolphins and pelicans everywhere. Getting to see the Space X launch pads and hovercraft was awesome. Took the jet skis to a wide open area so we could fly across the water! Easily my favorite part of the vacation so far! Highly recommend if you love the water!

Fun on Jet Skis! - We took the jet ski tour in early February. It was a fun tour and our guide Anavey was and awesome host for our tour. We rode around just past the wake free zone and gradually went faster. She showed us several different spots but it was very hazy so you couldn't see very far. The water in the bay was smooth and saw tons of dolphins up close. She took us out into the gulf which was rare I guess because usually the water is to rough. Then back to the bay for tons of free riding and watching her tricks!

Great tour - 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.

Nice - Devon was lovely and considerate. The place had a cardboard cut-out of Trump. Cool if you’re into that, a warning if you’re not.

Drenched and cold 😞 - Advertised as a slow speed historical tour definitely not slow speed and very little history! Would not recommend!
