Yes.. why because is a fun activity i enjoy to much is my second time I using this tour.and i totally recomend it..
Good time for most ages. Do plan on getting wet. I brought my 67 year old mom for her birthday. We went for her 61st too and she wanted to come back! She had a ball, laughed out loud and loves the playlist. She has limited mobility but this trip is a non issue.
Make sure you take extra clothes for afterwards . You will definitely get wet and you’ll love every minute of it.
An awesome experience! Like a rollercoaster on the water type excitement . Felt safe, excited, got soaked, all around fun!
Had a blast!! We will definitely be doing this again next time we're back in San Diego. Crew was awesome and the boat had music bumping which added to the experience!
My sons were visiting, and I bought tickets for the four of us and they absolutely loved it, kept thanking me for planning the jet boat ride experience!
It is so much fun! Good music and the staff are very helpful. Did not get too wet as we wore the ponchos provided
Went with my husband and 13 years old son, we all had a blast! It was my husbands favorite activity from the entire weekend.
This experience is a total blast and is sure to be super fun! Get ready to be completely soaked, because you’re to end up wet.
It started off with great music, then after heading out, it picked up fast and the surprise 180 was a spectacle! It was exhilarating and was non stop enjoyment!
The jet boat ride was sort of a last minute activity that we booked and we’re so glad we did because we had a blast.
Super fun you might get wet. Love the fun music!
The service was wonderful and helpful.
If you like fsst speeds you will love this
Family vacation every Fourth of July and we book this ride every year! It is a must to do! You won’t regret it!!
Fun for a 30mins view of the bay. This was a last minute activity my husband and I enjoyed while here in San Diego.
Lots of fun for the whole family. Guides were awesome. Definitely best boating experiences out of all options there
Bumpy but fun as long as you can handle that! Sit in the front for a thrilling view set to an epic music playlist!
Fun, great crew & forget wearing the poncho. Fabulous city views, speed under the Coronado Bridge, scenic look at our military and ship building/repair yard, speed turns with upbeat music👍
Fun! Fun fun! Don’t hesitate book it! You will not regret it and remember it forever! Professional great value at all packaged in 30 minutes
My family and I have such an amazing time. The boat operator did an excellent job of showing us all the fun that we deserved and paid for. The crew was fun. The music was great and the overall value was perfect too. As a matter of fact, I think it was cheaper to go through you guys then it was through them directly because when we got there they had the prices for all activities offered and I noticed that they seemed higher. Overall the entire trip was a perfect 10 out of 10 and we would do it again in a flash!
My son and I had so much fun! I would totally recommend it for anyone that’s looking for something fun to do in San Diego.
It was an awesome experience, fully recommend to do specially with kids. They set the mood for the ride making sure you had fun.
Really fun and safe, perfect for all families, friends, etc. Workers are attentive and overall a great experience.
FUN ! Nice thrill 30 minute trip. Everyone in my group enjoyed. We had a range of ages in our group.
Looking for a thrill? This was a fun and exciting ride. However, make sure you do not eat anything heavy beforehand! Lots of ups and downs, twists and turns!
So fun! Just enough time out on the water with some fun splashes and music blasting.
Very nice staff
It was amazing . The staff is great . Super friendly . Super fun . Super safe . An experience you’ll never forget.
Just have fun and enjoy yourself. Take pictures, and videos. You’ll have fun. Don’t be scared one of the best experiences so far
Fun boat ride. You get a little wet. Hang on during the ride. Enjoy the music that is playing during the ride.
Omg, what a fabulous ride, it's very worth it. You will get a little bit wet, rain ponchos are provided. Don't think about it, just book it and Go !!!!
So much fun, definitely well worth.
A real thrill.
Might seem a bit intimidating at first but its a real good time .
