Loved our first experience on a jet ski with this company. I was super nervous Our guide was awesome, the jet skis looked near new, the life vests were clean and new and bonus dolphins came to say hi.

The reception guy was so polite but gave us an unreasonable excuse to cancel our jet ski ocean tour although we have driven jet skies many before. I'm still confused and amused to what made him think we couldn't drive jet skies.
