“Crew was very friendly and guide gave some interesting facts and information. On board food and drinks. If your feeling sea sick, I'd recommend sickness tablets and sickness bands as the boat can rock but the crew are very helpful with sick bags on hand and will make sure your OK.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 15 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Ride a guided jet ski from Puerto Colón toward Los Gigantes, with swimming, possible snorkeling, and practical safety support.

“Weather conditions meant sea was very bumpy. We have both been jet skiing lots of times, therefore are experienced. However due to the weather + only couple of 5 min breaks we both ended up with friction burns. Would have been better if they offered to reduce the length + returned some of the money.”
