Booked this excursion last minute on our last day on the island and it did NOT disappoint! Phil and Jake (Boss Jake, cause apparently there was more than one on staff) were courteous, knowledgable and helpful! I felt like they let us know what we were doing and what to expect ahead of time and did a great job balancing fun and safety throughout the trip. My friends, husband and I loved seeing the island from a jet ski, hearing about some history, seeing some wildlife in the water and in the mangroves, and just having so much fun.
There were 7 in our group, and I was with the party of 5 within the larger group. My friend and I had no experience, though my husband and other 2 friends did. I was coached through my anxiety and fear without being made to feel bad or being too far behind the main group. I stayed with the group the whole last half of the trip because they really helped me get the hang of jet skiing! I loved it and can't wait to jet ski again.
Something I realized part of the way through the tour was that sitting on the jet ski did not inspire confidence; I felt out of control and unsteady. When I changed position, crouching down on the jet ski, I felt much more comfortable, confident, and in control. Just some helpful info if you are a newbie like I was!
Again, had such a GREAT time, had time and opportunities to take pictures, and Phil even took some pictures and shared them with us back at the dock. It was awesome!!!
