Summary:
Absolutely a must do ! First time jet skiing with my mate and we had such a fun time. In the beginning of the tour we had Sammy give us an entertaining and detailed safety brief then we were off on the water with Jaxon who was a blast.
100% recommend and will definitely be booking this tour again !
PS we booked the 7:30am session in October. When we got into the water it was high tide and as we came into turtle bay my friend and I had one turtle come up to the surface right next to us ! We also saw about 4 more turtles pop their heads up around us as we sat in the water.
