What to expect

You'll begin on a sheltered 1km practice track where the guide walks you through jet ski controls and handling until you feel ready. Once confident, you head out on the main 15km loop hugging the subtropical coastline. The route sweeps past golden sandbars, protected islands and accessible beaches. You set the intensity—hammer the throttle or potter along taking photographs; the guide leads and adapts to your group's preference. Wildlife encounters are common: dolphins, rays and seabirds often cross your path. The whole outing takes 90 minutes from safety briefing to dock.
