Awesome experience!
We had so much fun! Billy was a great tour guide. We were able to see several dolphins. The jet skis were easy to use. I’m glad they have compartments to hold things like our phones. We really enjoyed our tour! Great experience!

First Jet Ski Ride
It was my first time on a jet ski, and I had a wonderful experience. We got a chance to many dolphins. They were actually swimming underneath the jet ski's. I admit it did get a little scary going fast when the water was rough. But hands down I would absolutely do it again.
