  • We have done jetski tours many times in various parts of the world and can honestly say that this is one of the best!

    Great experience! Ash and Andrew are a wonderful couple who want to make sure that you have a good time. The tour was a great combination of having fun on the waves and slowing down to actually have a look around. The scenery is spectacular! Andrew’s knowledge of the area was impressive. The machines ran very well with no hiccups. And they send photos of your day, to boot! Our thanks to Ash and Andrew for a morning well spent!

    Fantastic experience! Andrew is a great guide, clear with instructions, patient with jetski first timers, and informative about the island. And one of the nicest blokes you could meet. You get plenty of time to get used to the jetski and have some fun on the water. Plus we saw a couple of humpback whales! (Not guaranteed on every trip, but wow, something I’ll never forget.)
