We loved the whole experience. Darragh was a great guide. He was very considerate and caring for all the people trying jetski for the first time. We took breaks regularly and he gave a lot of information on the islands we passed. If you are counting on seeing wild animals or taking in the scenery though, this won’t be the trip for you. We only saw some butterflies and were only able to enjoy the view when we stopped for a little break. You’re just too fast and the ride is too bumpy to see anything really. We still enjoyed it very much and would totally do it again!
