Avi is just all around awesome. Patient, knowledgeable, and cool. He really made the day more special than anyone else possibly could. You can tell he just really loves it, it’s not just a job to him, it’s more he is taking his family on a tour. This by far exceeded every expectation I could have had.
We saw tons of dolphins! They come right up to you and ride with you. It’s nuts. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. My son is 7 and had a blast. He rode with me half the time and then my wife. The jet-skis are really stable, and you can get used to them very quick.
After 3 solid hours of bliss, you get back and get to see the photos that he took and he gives them to you on a flash drive! Amazing. I can’t say enough good things.
Some things you may want to know before hand.
There is a glove box dry storage to put your keys, flip flops and SUNSCREEN! A brimmed hat will not work with the wind unless it’s backwards, so do not make the mistake of not putting sunscreen on your face if you think a hat will do.
Avi provides a cooler with waters in the nose of your ski.
Wear SUNGLASSES! Not only cause it’s bright, the salt water will splash your face and this will protect them.
I can’t stress this enough. THROTTLE DOWN. You have to be on the gas to control, and it’s WAY easier and comfortable at about 30mph+. When turning you actually want to give it a little more gas. For a lot of people this may come very unnatural. From driving, you may be pre-programmed to automatically slow down for a turn, but it makes it much harder. Just turn your head towards the turn, stay on the gas or even accelerate and the ski will just lean and go. Once you get it down, it will turn like it is on rails.
The last thing you ever want to do is let off the gas completely unless you want to stop. You want to ease off the throttle. It’s better to hit the gas pretty good to start going. Try not to jerk the steering wheel. A little goes a long way. Use pressure, not force.
This was a very personal experience. Catered and customized on the go by Avi. We all had the time of our lives. Don’t bother with any other tour. It’s Avi that makes it. Anyone can take you in a line around the islands, but there is only one Avi.
