I think this is a great way to experience riding a personal watercraft. The people there were very knowledgeable about how to use it, and went over every item so each driver knew how to run the jet ski effectively and safely. We really had a great time.

Experience was amazing! Highly recommend! They strap a GoPro to the ski and it costs $65 for the pics and video but worth it in my opinion. Can’t put a price on good memories!

What To Expect

Your Oahu Jet Ski rental begins at Maunalua Bay, where you receive a 10-minute safety briefing about how to handle the Jet Ski, before changing into your bathing suit and clipping into a life jacket.

From there, it’s a short ride offshore to a barge where the Yamaha Jet Skis are docked, and whether you choose a single or double ski. The waters here in Maunalua Bay are frequently flat and calm, and are perfect for high-speed, white water patterns and speeding around the bay. Or, if you’d prefer to cruise at a slower speed and motor along the coast, you can admire some of Oahu’s nicest homes that line the Hawaii Kai shoreline, and gaze up at the Ko’olau Mountains and nearby Koko Head Crater.

Finally, after 30 minutes of racing through the turquoise Hawaii Kai waters, return to the barge to disembark and enjoy the ride to the beach. Your Oahu Jet Ski rental ends on the sandy shoreline of Maunalua Bay.

My 17 year old daughter and I booked the jet ski adventure. We had a great experience from start to finish. Checking in was smooth. We arrived about 30 minutes before our start time and were able to join an earlier group time. There is a 5 minute boat ride out to the activity area. There are cubbies on board where you can store your belongings. There are different groups with you and depending which adventure you selected (jet ski, banana boat tug or parasailing) you then get directed to that activity. The crew was very friendly. We definitely enjoyed our experience. Book yours now!

Disappointing

Alexa_L, May 2026
Limited space to ride and the trip to and from the boat is included in the 1 hour 30 mins span. Bring your own go pro unless u want to spend 60-70 on picture package. It’s basically a lap race and it’s boring. Only good thing was that the staff was pretty cool.

Disappointed

Pa_X, Apr 2026
It says 1 hr 30 minutes but its not. They count from the time you check in, drive you to the water area, safety rules and actually only 30 minutes riding around a block over and over again at 30 miles per hour. Might as well take your money and go see the zoo. Ive done over 10 jetski excursions and this is one I would give negative 5 stars!!!!

Good experience

Melanie_P, Apr 2026
The crew on the boat was fantastic but the 2 females back on shore with the photos were rude and not friendly at all. We walked away not buying our pictures but we do regret now having them.

Jetski 💯

Annamarie_M, Apr 2026
This experience was a 10/10, the staff were very nice and thorough, they all made us feel welcomed and safe during the whole session.

Fun for the whole family

People at the front...

Riley_H, Mar 2026
People at the front counter just try to get more and more money out of you. Tried charging $75 for some GoPro pictures after they over charged my group for the 30 minutes we had on the water. I would absolutely not recommend this dump.

Fun!

Nice Close Course Jet-skiing

Alessandra_M, Feb 2026
This is a 30 minute set course ride, in the shape of a triangle, only making right hand turns. Max speed is blocked at 30mph. The operators were fine, and definitely kept a tight schedule. Bring goggles if you have them, or they have one available for rent at $10. The pictures and video package was great for our family of five in three skis. Each with 15 minutes of pictures, and 15 minutes of video. You can expect to spend $100 on the media package for five people. They have other activities available that you can do while you’re out with them (banana float, parasailing, etc.) with more GoPro setups which is nice.

Quick, Courteous, and Somewhat Disappointing

Kylie_T, Jan 2026
I went into this jet ski excursion with high hopes, but unfortunately it fell a bit short of expectations. The staff were polite and friendly enough, though the overall experience felt very rushed—more like being moved through an assembly line than welcomed into an adventure. There wasn’t much engagement or enthusiasm beyond getting people on and off the jet skis as quickly as possible. The ride itself was quite limited. The jet skis were restricted to around 30–35 mph, and the entire excursion consisted of riding in one large, uniform circle for about half an hour. It felt repetitive and overly controlled, which took away from the sense of freedom and excitement you’d expect. The description of the excursion was also very vague and didn’t accurately convey what the experience would actually be like. With clearer expectations and a more dynamic route, this could be much more enjoyable.

Come prepared with...

Christopher_S, Nov 2025
Come prepared with comfortable clothings that you’re not afraid to get wet. They offer googles for rent, but they understand if you don’t want to rent and use your sunglasses instead

I don't understand why...

Mathias_G, Oct 2025
I don't understand why it's restricted! Really horrible. I don't recommend it at all. It has nothing to do with a real jetski.

Big Fun on the Water!!

Cassandra_M, Sep 2025
I was a little apprehensive because it was our first time jet skiing, but the instructors made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Once we got on the water, one of the instructors rode a jet ski close to us to make sure we were ok. I would recommend H20 Water Sports to those who find adventure on the water, we had a really good time!

Had a blast !

Awnika_A, Sep 2025
It was an absolutely amazing experience and time. There’s no doubt I will be doing this again !! All staff is helpful and kind, all rules and directions are clear and explained thoroughly

Jet skiing with the family!

Julie_R, Sep 2025
Our family had the most amazing time! The girls 14 and 11 enjoyed riding with us. It was beautiful and the right amount of time on the water. The guys were informative, safe and fun!

Amazingly fun!

Tanya_J, Aug 2025
It was amazing! So much fun, and the best experience for our first time! Could have been at least a full hour rather than a half hour.

Thanks!

Carlos_Q, Jul 2025
Best experience standing in Hawai, it is full adrenalina. I enjoy this experience by myself, next time I go back to the Isla I'll bring my relatives and co.e back to.so the Jet Ski again

Mineisha_H, Apr 2025
You go in laps not the full ocean, but still a great experience! My partner and myself enjoyed ourselves tremendously!

Awesome

SoonChoy_S, Apr 2025
So fun and exciting. We had such a good time. It was kids first time and they got to drive the skies with me behind them so they loved it

Great experience

Bruce_G, Mar 2025
This activity was awesome. I wish it lasted longer and we were more free to ride it.. what I mean is u go around a track and that's it. U can't really do ur own thing but it was still tons of fun

Just know you will be...

Sancia_B, Mar 2025
Just know you will be riding in a circle over and over again, not super big area, but we still had a blast!

Fun, but no photos unless you buy everything @ $100

Kelly_E, Mar 2025
Staff was amazing. However you are not allowed to take your own photos and if you do want one you have to buy all photos and videos for another $100. Very disappointed. The only thing my son wanted to do in Hawaii was jet ski, and l don't even have one photo. I would have been willing to pay $20... Not $100. After paying more than $350 for only 30 minutes on a jet ski, and then $100 for 1 photo - super disappointed. Would have been 5 stars if not for the no photos

First time was fun first...

Jeffery_H, Jan 2025
First time was fun first experience. Wish the jet skies was a little faster but was a good experience.

Amazing!

John_W, Dec 2024
It was an amazing experience and the staff was so friendly, just loved it! Safety was their main priority and helping you learn & enjoy the time out was their 2nd. Instructions were simple & easy to understand, aks the experience was well worth it!

4/5 stars

Jessica_D, Dec 2024
I say a 4/5 because it was almost $200 for a 30 minute ride. But other than that it was really fun! It was my boyfriend and I’s first time riding jet skiis, we got the hang of it really quickly. The experience was a 5/5. We went at 12pm and it was really hot so it was the perfect time to get in the water.

Amazing fun experience indeed

Lisia_S, Sep 2024
My husband and I enjoyed the experience jet skiing. The workers were so patient with me, knowing I haven't jet ski for many many years ago, I suggest when anyone visit Honolulu, make sure to add jet ski to your to do list.

What a rush

William_W, Sep 2024
The operators were extremely helpful and friendly. I enjoyed just letting the throttle loose and hitting the waves. The couple that were out there looked like they were having a great time.

A blast in Hawaii

Rathana_L, Aug 2024
