We had a great time with out guide, the photo package was perfect - we enjoyed ourselves rather than worried about taking photos!

Forgettable Experience

Frank_B, Feb 2026
There is no tour to speak of. You race at a break neck pace to a spot for snorkeling only to find there is nothing to see except rocks and average fish. Tour guide was very friendly and went over safety basics. Jet skis were high quality. Photographer was mandatory fortunately she was not overly aggressive in selling the photo packages.

Best jet ski adventure of my life!!!

Pamela_L, Jan 2026
Truly the greatest jet ski experience I have had in my life, and I've had many! Stunning mountain scenery around Puerto Vallarta, whale sightings, chance to snorkel. The adventure was in Banderas Bay, where the water is relatively calm. Mike our tour guide was fantastic, was so nice and made us feel very safe every step of the way. A great photographer works with him, for those who love their best memories photographed!

Great adventure and worth the $$!

Jenifer_W, Jan 2026
Excellent guide. Very safety conscious guide. Felt well tended to! Would have enjoyed a slower, and closer to shore return as to see the sights better. Newer Seadoos that ran great!

Highly recommended

Jasmine_M, Dec 2025
I recently had the unfortunate experience of renting a jet ski for 2hrs of fun on the water, and I can confidently say it was the worst experience I've ever had with this kind of activity. When I returned, I was met with indifference from the staff, the camera lady was pretty rude. I wouldn’t recommend booking with this company.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for your reply about the tour, Our tour is 2 hours around the bay and we have time to do specific acivities, you will visit the boardwalk, the downtown, the arches of mismaloya and then we go to paredon beach to do snorkelling. im sure you can rent a jet ski in the beach for 70 usd for a half an hour and you can do wherever you want . hope to you see you sooon

Amy_M, Dec 2025
Nice jet skis, newer. Perfect amount of time to explore and snorkel. Went in the morning, was pretty calm. Tour guide was fun and friendly.

So much fun!

Kimberly_T, Nov 2025
This was our first time on a jet ski and due to the time of year and the time of day that we picked, we were the only ones on the tour with our guide. The jet ski experience was fun, and we particularly liked the snorkeling and discovering all of the colorful fish. This was our first time in Mexico and we were unsure what to expect with how the tour was put together, so I felt particularly bad for the photographer that came with us. We never buy pictures to any events that we go to, so we felt badly that she got up for the early morning tour and came along with us. Had we been asked if we wanted a photograper to come along, we would have said no because it would’ve been a waste of their time. She was absolutely lovely though!

Sooooo Funnnnnn!!!!

Molly_G, Oct 2025
What an amazing experience! We rode down the coastline which was such a nice surprise to go that far in open waters!! We enjoyed every minute! Tour guide was awesome!! We will be doing this every time in PV!!!

Great Jet Ski Tour

Rob_M, Oct 2025
Great experience with a great tour guide. Allowed you to go on your own towards the destination while the whole time keeping an eye on the group. Great sights on the trip as well as great info regarding the journey from the guide.

Matthew_V, Aug 2025
We had a great solo trip across the bay to Los arco’s. Got to play around instead of snorkeling on the jetski was cool to see the turtles floating around the bay.

Super fun and beautiful!

Jazmine_B, Jun 2025
This was an excellent experience! Our guide was very funny and we had a little Spanish lesson. The jet Skis were super fun and the location was beautiful!! The time of the tour was perfect. Not too long and not too short. Just right.

Give it a try!

Nina_N, Jun 2025
nice experience fun but expensive price doesn't include any extras like pictures the guide Bam Bam was amazing though

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for book with us, hope you have a fantastic ride in the bay.

Superb

Joseph_N, Feb 2025
Such an amazing time! The tour guide, Armando, did such a great job leading my group. He gives great instruction on how to use the jet skis. This is a must when visiting Puerto Vallarta!

Ben_L, Feb 2025
had a great adventure with the jet ski i wish we were able to get closer to the rocks at los arcos but i understand that there were restrictions on how close we could get. seeing the pelicans dive for their food was beautiful if the water visibility was better we would have gotten in for some snorkeling

Amazing tour of the bay by jet ski

Paul_J, Feb 2025
A little tricky to find the office for meeting. Leave early to find it. The morning was very relaxing and exhilarating at different times. Saw whales, dolphins, sea turtles all close up. Armando, our guide was first class.

Krista_L, Feb 2025
We had an amazing time on the water with Armando!! We came upon a school of dolphins and he guided us towards them so we could ride with them! It was a great experience all around. He also gave recommendations of local favorites and was a pleasure to talk with.

Great if you have experience

Raquel_C, Jan 2025
I got this for my daughters, they had a lot of fun, but they were telling me that the guide was going a little fast, and it was a little hard to follow. It would be great if they have groups for beginners, than can go slow and with more instruction.

Amateur rider.

Daryl_W, Oct 2024
Meeting other adventures and flying across the ocean . I did not like the waves upon waiting on others to catch up.

Great jet ski sea safari

Ilya_R, Aug 2024
My wife and I had group jet ski ride in tandems. We had so my fun jumping on the waves and snorkeling around Mismaloya, where you just would be pulled behind the jet ski and enjoy the underwater fauna!

Worth every penny

Darra_T, Aug 2024
Really great private tour. The instructor was extremely helpful, and accommodating, also really funny! Definitely will be back!

Great experience

Francesca_B, Jul 2024
Loved this experience From it being peaceful, to the fresh ocean air, to the tour guides It was all 100% Would do this again I only wish it was longer but that’s because it was away from the city and peaceful Roberto and Mariella where great hosts and made you feel 100% comfortable

UNSAFE & NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!

Karen_M, Jun 2024
The tour operator admitted AFTER the tour that they knew the conditions were unsafe! Throughout the extremely dangerous time on the water, the "guide" was constantly so far ahead that the entire group had a hard time keeping up and at times difficulty even seeing the "guide." It was so unsafe, that the "guide" informed us we could not snorkel. When I contacted the tour operator prior to this review, they again stated that it was "unsafe to snorkel due to the weather conditions." They refused to refund any portion of the large price (you can rent jet skis much cheaper directly from the beaches), because we had completed the tour. Had they done their job and informed us of the conditions PRIOR to the tour, we would not have chosen to go. Don't waste your time or money with these people who have no regard for your safety!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi, Karen Mcguigan, hope you are very well, im sorry that you didnt like this tour, but we dont control the water conditions, one day the ocean is flat, and other day are with little waves. this is not like a lake that all the time are flat. . Yes you are right, you can rent a jet ski infront of your hotel and it cost from 60- 80 usd for only 30 minutes (we give 2 hours tour) and area you can use just infront of your hotel. Sorry for the inconvenient our tour is an extremly activity that you will know around Puerto Vallarta. We noticed that your kids enjoyed the tour.

Fun fun fun, great experience.

Mariah_E, Apr 2024
Super fun, tour guide Johnny was awesome!! He’s super great. The ride was fun and the jetskis were very fast.

Awesome experience for a day off a cruise ship!

Eleanor_A, Mar 2024
Fun and friendly group! Great tour guide explained the sights. Opportunity to ride fast and see the coast. Awesome!

THEY DONT GIVE REFUNDS!

Julie_E, Feb 2024
I have asked for a refund from Viator 4 times now and have not even heard one word back from the company. They are not even replying to any of my requests. They show my jet ski tour as COMPLETED and it was definitly NOT COMPLETED! The fact that I can not even get a response that they do not care after four attempts is not acceptable.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Julie, hope your are fine, as you Said your tour wasnt complete because you Didnt want to continue the other people did it. Instead of that we told you that we can refund it, you can do it via Viator and we accept the refund.

AMAZING!!

Nancy_N, Dec 2023
This was the best experience ever ,Armando was an amazing host.He keeps you engaged the whole time and goes over and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.

Fun afternoon!

Maureen_C, Dec 2023
Armando was a great tour guide and very informative about the area. Beautiful scenery with some time to swim and cool off. We even saw several whales!
