Coastline via jet skis 🌊🩵

We rode jet skis for our 10-year anniversary and had such an incredible time. The ride over on the Fast Cat from St. Thomas was smooth and easy, and the whole experience was so well organized. Our guide Josh was amazing—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour so much fun while making everyone feel comfortable and safe - he knew where to play and where to chill. Exploring the coastline by jet ski was easily one of the best ways to see the islands and views you normally wouldn’t get to experience. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting St. Thomas or St. John. 10/10 experience!

Operator response

Thank you for choosing to celebrate with Cruz Bay, Caris! It sounds like an absolutely perfect anniversary made all the better with new experiences out on the water. We hope to celebrate with you again next year!

AN AWESOME WAY TO SPEND A FEW HOURS IN ST JOHN

We had an amazing morning on the Jet Skis here in St. John. Our guide was super knowledgeable, great on safety but also let the kids have fun. My husband went along grudgingly but came home fired up, raving about how fun it was.

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had an amazing morning on the jet skis and that your guide balanced safety with fun for the kids. We’re glad your husband ended up loving the experience too!

No jet skis

Double check to make sure the end provider has jet skis and is ready for your trip. The end provider Cruz Bay Rentals was not doing any jet ski trips on the day or week of our reservation. What a complete break down in communication between Viator.com and the end provider. I’ll never use either going forward. We wasted all our time getting prepared and getting to the site only to be turned away. NOT a good experience and nothing provided to us for all our time. Viator or Cruz Bay Rentals should have recognized that and given us something for troubles. If we did not show up (like they did not show up, they would have kept our trip fee. Very, very disappointed.

Operator response

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. While we partner with third-party booking platforms like Viator, we understand that it’s our guests who are ultimately affected when communication breaks down. Your time and expectations matter, and it’s disappointing to hear that this situation was not handled better. We’ve shared your feedback with the appropriate team and will be reviewing our coordination process with all partners to help prevent this in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
