Had an amazing time jetskiing with my partner for his birthday, we opted for an hour, sharing a jetski and it was the perfect amount of time, we were able to change drivers midway. We were picked up from our hotel (at an extra cost €10 which is not how its advertised but compared to taxi prices it was good value for where we were staying) Our instructor took lots of pictures available at an extra cost and we had the best time. Following the boat was easy and it allowed for some freedom but not too much to feel unsafe or alone on the water.

Great trip, very relaxing. Stopped at a nice bay and could jump off the boat for a swim or kayak. Great food and drink also, served by a friendly team. Excellent day.
