12.30-Minute Jet Ski – No Slow Zones – Free Photos

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 49 reviews · 1h 30m

You drive your own jet ski on a 30-minute guided ride from Paradise Point, passing waterfront mansions, yachts, and sandy beaches. Guides lead the small group, with a safety briefing, life jacket, spray jacket, and advertised free photos included. Two people can share one ski.

“We booked the 30-minute jetski package that clearly included free photos. After the ride, when we asked for the photos, the staff said, “I gave you a chance to take photos on your phone,” which was never mentioned during booking. This is misleading because the package specifically states that photos are included, and we also paid for them. Changing the terms after the ride is unfair and very disappointing. The jetski experience itself was good, but the service after the ride was unprofessional. If photos are advertised, they should be provided — not denied with excuses. I hope the management fixes this issue so future customers don’t face the same…”
