best value for money -great experience!! - 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.

jet ski historical tour - Small group, Devon was a great guide, super informative, helped me get over being anxious about driving the jet ski alone! Beautiful sights, really just like a private tour! would highly recommend!! honestly can’t say enough. went with my husband and daughter , only one other super friendly couple on the tour. went for the 9 am tour. Owners were friendly and Welcoming when we arrived early. Best Jet Ski experience-don’t bother going anywhere else!!

Wicked cool & fast jet ski tour!! DO IT!!! - My son (18) and I rode tandem on this jet ski tour. Previous to this we both had minimal experience with jet skis on fresh water lakes. We really lucked out and got a one-on-one tour with our guide Brent, who was amazing. He was super nice, helpful and patient while we got our jet ski legs under us in the beginning. He showed us some great sites and enjoyed some good conversation along the way. We left the marina and just instantly put the hammer down cruising south across the bay, under the causeway, past the Isla Blanca point (stopped to view our first pod of dolphins), and then East toward the South Padre jetties. We looped back across Brazos Santiago Pass (where we saw more dolphins behind the giant dredging boat) & then through the Brownsville ship channel, around Clark Island and just into South Bay Pass for a look at SpaceX (kept us outside their exclusion zone). Cool view. Continued down the channel, turning around Bird island (full of a gazillion birds), NNW alongside Long Island and into old Port Isabel, where Brent pointed out a few homes and businesses of interest, and the old swing bridge (still in operation). We crossed under SH100 near Bridge St, then popped out at North Shore Dr continuing East around the corner to view the Port Isabel lighthouse. We were doing great on time so we again blasted full-throttle across the bay to some shallows to the NW of the marina where the water was crystal clear and maybe 4ft deep. With our extra time we had a little playtime with the jet ski then cruised back into port. Fantastic 1.5 hour excursion. Great mix of speed, sights of interest, commentary, and fun. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour and would honestly do it again. Being one-on-one we had a lot of freedom to go all out. I would consider one of their other great excursions for anyone that is not too adventurous or for anyone with young kids as it can be bumpy and quite fast. But if you’re comfortable on a wicked fast jet ski in open choppy water, then this IS the tour for you. 10/10! +Brent is the man! Great tour.

Best experience in SPI! - This 90 minute historical tour was the highlight of our visit to SPI. Trevor, our knowledgeable and easygoing tour guide rolled out the red carpet and treated us like royalty. The jet skis are easy to operate but he still made sure we were comfortable with the operating features before we started our journey. My amazing bride obviously wanted to pilot her own machine and she did great and loved every moment of the experience. The trip included fascinating places of interest like Space X, historical bridges and known dolphin feeding grounds. YES, we saw dolphins up close and tons of pelicans too. Can’t say enough. The check in process was very low stress as the sweet hostess gathered our information and said just wait in the restaurant and will come out and get you when your tour is about to start. Yes the same family owns the restaurant and the activities business and they are down to earth and easy to work with. Later that evening we Came back for dinner and enjoyed the best coconut shrimp ever including live music and an amazing bagpipes performance that apparently happens every day! What’s not to like?

Super fun - Fun time. Cool guide. Extra time at end to just jet ski around Saw a dolphin and space x. Well worth it

Super fun - Super fun. Tour guide super nice kid. Easy going let us have extra fun on the jet skis. Saw a dolphin. Saw space x. Had fun wave running in the bay. Ignore the review where the “karen” gripes about bridge and no dolphins. Total fun. Rent your own. Don’t share jet ski

Amazing Jet Ski Tour - Booking a jet ski tour with SPI Excursions really made our entire trip the best experience ever! We booked a 2 jet ski person tour and unfortunately my jet ski ran over some fishing line within the first 30-45 min…so I had to be towed back. But that was even fun as I got a ride back in a jet boat, and my husband got to speed back on his jet ski. SPI Excursions offered us a full refund, but we asked to return the next day for another tour instead. That was definitely the best decision as day #2 was a blast. All of the crew was super friendly and the jet ski tour guide couldn’t have been more awesome and knowledgeable about the area and the jet skis. We are now thinking of buying our own! This is definitely a must do for anyone visiting SPI!!

Josiah is the man - Josiah was freindly and the high light of the whole experience. He is freindly and very informative about fishing and the area.

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

Just "okay" - The excursion was just "okay"...I think it could be improved if they explain in the description what to expect as far as how fast the tour operator wants people to drive their jet skis (30-40mph is what we were told once we were on the jet skis, sitting in the water, while still near the docks and before starting off on our tour). For newbies, that can be a very intimidating speed. I'm no tour operator, but a few possible suggestions come to mind: offer two separate groups per tour (novice and advanced), offer separate groups at different times of day, or at the very least explain this within the marketing materials. Outside of that, I found the points-of-interest on the tour to be really too far away to take much in. During our tour, the guide mentioned that Boca Chica beach is the southernmost point in the continental U.S., but that is actually Key West...so it made me wonder about the accuracy of other info. Going under one bridge within Port Isabel was a slight yoga activity - the bridge was so low that we had to duck down to the level of the handlebars, a feat that was difficult for my tall husband with arthritis. I was also really looking forward to seeing dolphins on the trip - we did see just a few but it was for literally about one minute. That's outside of the tour operator's control, I know, but I'm just sharing in the review to help any future travelers manage expectations. I know I have been on many other dolphin tours where we saw hundreds for a long time...just know that this is not it. Positive points - easy check in, patient tour guide, and fun (yet also a bit unnerving) experience to ride a jet ski.
