I had an amazing freaking time out on the jet skis! From the moment we got started, everything was smooth, exciting and so much fun. The staff made sure we felt safe and confident before heading out, and once we were on the water it was pure adrenaline and freedom. The views were absolutely beautiful and the whole experience was unforgettable. If you’re even thinking about it—book it. You’ll have the best time!

We booked a jet ski for one hour, after 30-40mins the gas was empty. It wasn't refilled. That's why we were quite disappointed.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the confusion and for how this situation made you feel.
We would like to clarify that the jet ski was fully fueled before your activity. These jet skis are equipped with a rental time control system. When the reserved time is close to ending, the jet ski displays a warning on the screen and automatically reduces power.
This safety feature is sometimes mistaken for low fuel, but the fuel level was not empty. The reduced performance was due to the time limit notification, not a lack of gasoline.
We understand how this could have been confusing, especially if this system was not clearly explained beforehand, and we apologize for that. Your safety and experience are very important to us, and we will make sure to improve our pre-ride briefing so this is clearly communicated to all future guests.
Thank you again for your feedback, as it helps us improve our service. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

We wanted to jet ski on New Year’s Eve, so we booked same day. Luckily every hour was available, so we booked an afternoon session. We decided to walk, which took us over an hour. We were arriving at the pick up point when someone from the jet ski company sent us a message asking to share our location with them. We told them we were at the meeting point and they told us they were running 20 minutes late. I understand there are delays but we weren’t informed until our start time.
We were then led to the beach where a man told us we can put our bags in the jet ski, where they could get wet, or a locker. The Viator listing stated there was a secure locker to place our belongings, so we told him we want a locker. He said we need to purchase a drink to do so, which was not advertised. We put our stuff in the locker, and then asked for locks, and he told us there were not any, but not to worry, he will watch our stuff. We told him we were leaving and he then went and found one lock. We needed two. We decided to leave and be reimbursed. This company is unprofessional and ruined our plans. However, the woman we spoke to on the phone was very understanding and immediately issued our reimbursements.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We would like to clarify several points in this review. Before the activity started, we informed the guests about a brief delay and asked if they still wished to proceed with the experience. They confirmed that they did.
It is not true that lockers are advertised in our Viator description. We do not promise lockers as part of the experience. Even so, our team offered a locker as a courtesy. The guests then demanded one locker per person, which is not a standard or advertised service.
At no point were their belongings at risk. We have never had incidents of lost items, and our staff is always present and attentive. Despite this, the guests chose not to continue, and we immediately issued a full refund as a gesture of goodwill.
We operate professionally and transparently, and we always do our best to assist our guests and provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

12/9/2025 - This excursion was horrible. We started an entire hour late, my jet ski ran completely out of gas while in the middle of the ocean, my friends jet skis were powering on and off like they were low on gas, the provider doesn’t give you your full ride time due to over booking other customers and they are very unprofessional and conniving. Do not book with them unless you want to waste your money. Viator will take their side and not refund you your full amount paid, even if you provide screenshots of the bad service. Please beware!!!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. For transparency, you requested a last-minute reschedule and we accomodated. The activity did operate as advertised, and our team was in direct communication at all times. When a concern was reported, assistance was provided immediately as confirmed by you. Safety was never compromised and professional service was provided. This is why Viator denied a refund. Any additional riding time discussed was offered as a courtesy, and alternative solutions such as extra time or rescheduling were also provided as goodwill gestures. We respect your perspective. We also respect that these facts have been verified, and show that we stand by the professionalism and support delivered by our team throughout all of our experiences.

It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Pablo sent us very clear communications and was friendly and professional. We got a lot of confidence in the way he and his team took care of us. Highly recommended. The flight was exhilarating!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an incredible experience and that Pablo and the team made you feel confident and well taken care of. Knowing that our communication and professionalism stood out truly means a lot. We hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing adventure!

It was my first time jet skiing and it was really fun! Make sure to bring some sunglasses because the water will get in your eyes.
You stay with a instructor for about 5-10 minutes to make sure you know how to control the jet ski and hope off once they feel confident in you being by yourself
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that you had fun on your first jet ski ride 🌊🚤 It’s great advice about the sunglasses, the waves can definitely splash! Our instructors always make sure you feel comfortable and confident before heading out on your own. We hope to see you again for another adventure in Cartagena! ☀️
Denise_W, Oct 2025
Great communication. We got there a bit early and they were really flexible, started us right away. Two adults and two kids age 14 and 11.
We stayed in the bay with a beautiful view of the city.
We had a beautiful day. There were other jet skis and boats in the area, lots of waves.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the ride and the beautiful day out on the bay.

If you enjoy jet skis, then this is for you just do your best to push past the peddlers. They quick with the lessons on what to do and what not to do adequate time and a fair price but as always they'll be sure to still ask for some pesos

It was a good first experience on a jetski. The water was a bit choppy but overall experience was good
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Scott_M, Dec 2024
The tour started late at 4:40 PM, and by the time I finished at 5 PM, it felt too short for the price. The guide at the start (Ronald) was fine, but at the end, the helper collecting the jet ski kept asking for a tip (“propina, propina”). This felt awkward since I hadn’t brought any cash.
While waiting for Ronald to pick me up, I was approached by people offering drugs and other inappropriate services. I understand this is part of the local context, but it didn’t feel professional for a tour setting.
The jet skiing itself was fun, but the lack of safety protocols was striking—no one even asked if I’d ridden a jet ski before. For some, this freedom might be exciting, but others might find it concerning.
A word of caution: I accepted a drink while waiting, which ended up costing me 135,000 COP—an unexpected expense that left a sour note. Experiences like these make it clear that Colombia still has some challenges in shaking off its “Escobar-era” reputation.
This tour might appeal to adrenaline junkies and those seeking an unregulated adventure, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hey Scott! Thanks for sharing your experience with our Jet Ski service. We will make sure to follow up with our team regarding any excessive requests, but tipping is always a nice touch. Unfortunately, we cannot control the other activities on the beach, but we always keep our tours focused on our service only. Please exercise your best judgement while engaging in activities outside of our service. Thanks for your comment, and we wish you all the best!

The instructor was very nice and also helped me get a taxi after my jet ski tour. Although I was alone he made me feel comfortable.

Our host Jose guided us through an exciting jet ski experience in Cartagena. The ride itself was exhilarating, offering a unique perspective of the coastline and a rush of adrenaline. However, the preparation time on the beach felt disproportionately long compared to our actual time on the water, which was disappointingly brief.
A word of caution: the beach scene can be overwhelming. Vendors are persistent, offering various services. To avoid unwanted massages or other offerings, it's best to stay on your feet and politely decline.
Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was enjoyable. The thrill of riding the waves and the beautiful scenery made up for the wait and beach distractions.
Tip: If possible, inquire about longer riding times when booking your excursion.
Would you like me to elaborate on any part of this review or add more details?
