Frequently asked questions

Everything visitors usually want to know before they go.

Do I need any experience to join the tour?
No experience is required. Your guide will give you clear instructions before departure, and the Jet Skis are easy to control. Both locations are suitable for beginners.
How old do I need to be to drive a Jet Ski?
Drivers must be at least 16 years old. A 16-year-old may ride alone or carry an adult (18+) as a passenger, but two teens/children may not ride together.
Can children join as passengers?
Passengers must be at least 130 cm (4’3”) or taller. Babies and small children are not allowed for safety reasons.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes. Each Jet Ski can carry a maximum combined weight of 160 kg (350 lbs). This limit comes from the technical capacity of the Jet Ski model.
How fast do we go during the tour?
You control your own speed within the safe limits set by the guide. There are moments where you can accelerate and have fun, and moments where we slow down for sightseeing or safety.
Which location is better for me?
Choose Spanish Water if you prefer calm waters, scenic mangroves, and a smoother ride. Choose Piscadera Bay if you enjoy a bit more adrenaline, open ocean, and coastal views. Both tours are exciting but offer different vibes.
Is there a place to store belongings?
We recommend leaving valuables at your accommodation. Small waterproof items may fit in limited onboard storage, but space is minimal. At the tour desk we have storage for larger items, at your own risk.
How long is the tour?
The full adventure typically lasts around 45 minutes, plus 15 minutes instructions and riding time. A total of 60 minutes. This may vary slightly depending on conditions.
Do we ride in a group?
Yes, the tour is guided and operated in small groups for safety. You still have freedom to ride at your own pace within the guide’s safe distance.
