★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 335 reviews Our pick

The two-hour tour costs $350 per jet ski for up to two people, with guides such as Alex, Eel, Carl, and Bryson often leading the route.

Our guide, Bryson, was outstanding. For my kids he was like having an older cousin explore the island with them. For us it was comforting to have an experienced guide who safely knew how to lead us.
