    What an absolutely unforgettable jet ski experience! From the moment we hit the water, it was pure energy and excitement. The instructors were super friendly, professional, and made sure we felt confident and safe before taking off. Once we got going, the thrill was unreal — zooming across the waves with the wind in our hair and water splashing around us. The scenery was breathtaking, and there was nothing like that rush of freedom and speed out in the open water. We even got to stop in a few scenic spots, take some photos, and enjoy the view — a perfect balance of fun and awe. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rider, this is an absolute must-do! Can’t recommend this experience enough — it was the highlight of our trip and left us with huge smiles and unforgettable memories. 💯🔥

    It was just two of us so the guide let us choose what we want wanted to do. He was very patient and explained everything. We felt very safe.

    Short Trip

    They put $500 dollars on a credit card for per jet ski deposit, I avoid giving my cc number to such places, reason reserve w/PayPal, and you don’t get 2 hours of riding, guide take his lunch on the beach for 30 min, while we twiddle our thumbs. Will not go with that group again

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    BEST Jet Ski excursion ever!

    Connie_W, Jun 2026
    It made our trip to Panama Beach a complete success! I would definitely book this trip again! Jonathon did an outstanding job explaining safety, and all the important details about following him. Jonathon made our trip memorable and our afternoon and dinner discussions were around the excitement, fast paced, and thrill of the day. We took our daughter and her two close friends from Texas Tech and had a ball. We each had our own jet ski which was so much fun. The dolphins were right next to the jet skis and the thrill and excitement on their faces spoke a million words. This was our second visit to Panama and second time to book excursions through Viator. We will be back to Panama Beach and will definitely book the jet skis AGAIN! Thank you, Jonathon! The video you took with the girls jumping off the dock has gone viral!!! Lol!

    It was very fun. There were some great views and the instructor was very helpful. If you have never ridden a Jet Ski before do not worry, it is worth the try.
