Such a fun excursion! Gene was such a great guide! Took us to the ship, then to Noah’s Ark to take a picture, and then to half moon bay to see some iguanas! He was very knowledgeable about the shipwreck as well as half moon bay. He was super funny and made the trip worth it! Highly recommend him as a guide and this as an excursion!

I was very nervous leading up to this because there were some bad reviews, but I’m so happy to say that was not our experience! Bob was our guide and he was an absolute blast! He told us about the shipwreck and took videos and pictures of our family in the jet skis. He took us to Iguana Island and knew all about the Iguanas. I wanted to see Noah’s Ark so he went back past it. The was was extremely choppy for us and I was very nervous but he was so patient and showed me what to do. By the end in calm waters I was hitting 49 mph! My kids are 13 and 16 and rode on the back of the adults and also loved it. I feel very lucky to get Bob as our guide because he was just a great guy. Highly recommend!

We booked a 1 hour jet ski tour same day and drove ourselves to the location. It was easy to find but a guy approached our car as we parked asking for 10$ to park there which we eventually paid (I think he worked for the port area?). We made our way into yellow-blue building and found the desk to check in. The two women and one man working there acted mildly annoyed, never looked up from their computers or made eye contact - unfriendly and made us sign forms and then basically said nothing. Every action was micromanaged - do this, do that, stand over there, don't do that - it was very tense. We stood around and eventually someone said we needed life jackets which 3 of 4 of us got before the life jacket person wandered off unexpectedly and never returned. When we asked if there were places to store our stuff the desk waved us at some wooden "lockers" like it should have been obvious to know we could use them. It turned out there were shared with others - there were towels in the lockers and we were tersely told "Those are NOT YOURS! Do not touch them!" but to share the box. The boxes were not actually locked so we went and put things in our car instead. After that it was unclear what to do and we stood around awkwardly outside. The staff were either on their computers or down by the water front - and other guests / ferry passengers were in front of the building. After a while I went back into building and found out we were waiting for another family to arrive. This would have been good to know at the beginning - but maybe they were annoyed we arrived early / at the time the Viator reservation said to? The second family of 4 arrived just in time as the prior booking time arrived back at the dock with the jet skis so we could switch with them. The jet skis were in fair-ish condition. Clearly had collided with multiple things with gauges not working, etc. We got on them with a tiny bit of instruction - the "guide" gave no attention to even making sure we understood - and started out. The other family ended up leaving 2 behind because they could not get a straight answer from the guide if two of their more cautious people could return if it got too rough. The guide took off and we were to follow him - there was no time allotted to ensure you were comfortable operating the jet skis. It was nearly impossible to understand him over the noise of the engines. Luckily my family had some experience with jet skis / watercraft etc. If you do not have any I would be cautious about booking this excursion. It took about 15 minutes to reach the ship wreck. We stopped there briefly but did not take pictures as we left our phones behind (was unclear if a way to keep them water safe). You cannot dive off the ship like appears in the pictures - which given the state of the ship I understood. But they should remove that marketing photo so not to mislead folks. We then retraced our route toward the dock briefly going by small party area-cay-islet called "Noah's Ark" but inexplicably did not stop. It was a tease - like why show us if we aren't going to stop? We then went back to the dock and unloaded. We wondered if only the 2 hour tours stop off at small beaches or Noah's Ark area or to see iguanas. Maybe we took to long at the wreck site - we will never know. When we got back we regretted not bringing our own towels (dumb mistake) and rode back wet in our car. We also never got any photos at all. Net net I would not work with Caribbean Cruisin again due to the poor communication and interactions we had with the staff. I get it was the holidays and maybe the staff was tired of dealing with tourists. I would recommend closing up early if that is the case in the future vs. accepting business and doing it half hearted.

We had a great time riding the jet skis! The staff was very flexible when it came to us deciding to reschedule due to the rainy weather we ended up facing the day of the excursion. Highly recommend doing this excursion as we also pass by Noah’s Ark & stopped at Half Moon Bay to see some iguanas :)

We’re flexible and re booked us when it was cooler weather and choppy water! Beautiful! Saw a shark, sea turtles and iguanas! Highly recommend! Great pics. Can’t jump off the ship anymore sadly.

Our guide Eel was perfect and very helpful. He made sure each rider was comfortable. We adjusted our trip to a less difficult location bc the water was too choppy that day.

The jet ski was fun and seeing the ship taking photos also good fun. The guide didn’t give much info apart from it being there 20 yrs. I thought we might have called into Captain oaks tiki bar or even driven past it… but we just kept going and back to pier ..
Response from Host, Jul 2024
thank you for your recent reviews on your excursion with Caribbean Cruisin, the product we advertised for the shipwreck and not a tiki bar.

The staff are incredibly kind and friendly they took great care of my boys. They had a great experience today
ANGELA_R, May 2024
Guide was friendly the tour itself isn’t what it’s hyped up to be. Literally ride out look at a rusted ship and if you’re lucky your guide will take you somewhere else
TerrelA_W, May 2024
Great tour no complaint visited the abandoned ship wreck, iguana island and Noah’s ark I would definitely recommend this tour
Kaleena_S, Apr 2024
We never made it to the shipwreck. We just rode around for the duration of the activity. However, the weather was great 👍
genesis_m, Mar 2024
It was great even though it was to windy to go to the shipwreck. Wished at least we would’ve drove by it
Robert_H, Dec 2023
The ship was the most memorable part of this experience. CJ was my guide and was terrific! It ended up being just the two of us, so we got to move quickly and see some additional sites. Will definitely bring my friends along next time!
Erin_D, Sep 2023
Fun activity during my honeymoon. Some experience would have been helpful, but we got the hang of the jet-ski's after 15 minutes or so. Beautiful beaches, and the stops to the ship and Iguana Island were super cool!
Chris_C, Aug 2023
Mixed emotions about this tour. One, the ad is kinda misleading, no one gets on the boat to jump off it. Its a standard jet ski tour out to boat, and pretty much goes around a vacated island and back. Wish we went faster on the jet skis, a lot of it was 20-25 mph and stay in a line. Open up a little, let people have fun. Tour guide didnt say much, no history of Famille, etc. Best part was just the aqau water
Elaine_C, Jul 2023
Amazing way to spend an afternoon!! The views were spectacular; we saw stingrays on our way out to the ship wreck! My 14 and 11 year old loved the experience.
One piece of advice to takeaway; stay 20 feet apart when on the jet skis 😂😂
Samuel_W, Jun 2023
This was one of the best activities we did. Cj was an awesome and a cool dude, my girl dropped her dior shades and he literally stopped a boat and had a diver swim down to get it lol. It was a really cool experience overall I’ll definitely be back!
Bridget_S, May 2023
While the tour started 15 minutes late, it was AWESOME! And our guide CJ gave us the full hour plus a few extra minutes. A beautiful fun trip around the sunken ship, the tiki bar, and the stop on Iguana Island was a nice surprise. My teens loved having their own jet skis!
Kevin_F, Apr 2023
This was definitely a great experience! The workers were nice and the tour guide let us really open up the speed on the jet skis which was the best part ! Definitely worth the money!
john_s, Mar 2023
We had fun jet skiing. I thought an hour would be short, but it was actually perfect. The ship is fun to see. They don’t let you jump from it so don’t expect to be able to if that’s what you are looking for.
