This tour was really fun! Ever is a great tour guide and was very patient with us. I recommend this tour for sure. The views from the water is worth it.

Great activity! Ever was a great guide, and made sure we were safe. As this was my first time Jet skiing, I learned a lot. The jet skis have a nice compartment behind the handlebars where you can keep stuff dry. Ever stressed how the wind could cause neck chains to hit you in the face, and how the bumps could snap plastic attachments. I ended up putting a bunch of stuff in the waterproof compartment due to this, and am glad I did. For medical devices like an insulin pump I would put it in a pocket rather than clipped to your waist. Overall a great tour, high speed (50-70 km/h) in parts so expect a lot of bumps (to your bottom) as you hit waves and a lot of wind. I would definitely do it again!

This was the single best activity I booked on my trip to Puerto Vallarta. Never rode a Jet Ski before but after this activity with our amazing guide Ever, I was hooked. I wanted to go again on the same day but unfortunately they didn't have any more openings. You'll gain skills you can use to enjoy Jet Skiiing again anywhere. I went back to the resort and rented a Jet Ski for 30 min to ride freely in the ocean and practice everything I learned. == The Company == I discovered Eco Explorer first by booking a snorkeling activity, then found all their offerings and booked this Jet Skiing and diving directly with them in their office. Jet Skiing was by far the most unforgettable experience. Office was very professional and everyone was fluent in English. == The Tour == The tour duration was great, wasn't short and rushed, it felt very worth the price. We go really fast, 80km/h at times, which feels faster than going 160km/h in a car due to feeling the water, wind, water splashing. Our guide Ever taught us how to carve, do 180s, and even 360s. I have yet to get a 360 down but mastered 180s just from this activity. == Safety == I wasn't sure how safe Jet Skiiing is since I had no concept of riding them, they're not like motorcycles or cars and are much safer than I imagined: - Once you release the gas, the thing stops, even at max speed it stops quite fast and smoothly. It doesn't glide at all which was surprising. Super easy to maintain control. - The key is attached to you so if you fall off, the engine stops, no chance of the machine hurting you. - The Jet skis always return to the upright position even if you tip them over, they're designed to not go upside down. - If you fall (I fell off once when learning 180s) it's easy to get back up safely from behind, there's steps attached at the back.

What a beautiful way to see the ocean and the Los Arcos National Park. Ever was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were late to see whales but he did find dolphins and that was exciting.

This was the best tour we have ever been on . Abraham was an amazing tour guide who became an amazing friend . I was very nervous starting to jet ski and he made me feel more confident and knowledgable . He told us about conservation efforts in the area which were super interesting. He answered all of our questions and we always felt in control . This was the highlight of our trip . He deserves a raise !! $$$

My son and I had a great time on the jet skis. The ride to the arches was thrilling as we were jumping over the inbound waves. Had a couple of informative stop as we we onlooking downtown from the water. The short snorkeling stop at the arches was cool - water temp was perfectly refreshing. Our guide Ever was super friendly and knowledgeable and we were in good hands the whole time. Highly recommend this experience!

I wish I could remember our tour guide name.. The trip was amazing, the weather was amazing. Felt very safe on all times and took off at 60 miles an hour. Towards los arcos it was epic. Thank you for the good time I apologize for not remembering your name. Next time we come, we will race you..

Had guide Ever who was great. You meet at a marina side location and do the standard paperwork and briefing. Then you take a slow tow cruise out to the main channel where you get un hooked and are able to drive your jet ski. You have a 30 minute or so fast blast across the bay to The Arches National Park where you stop briefly for pics and can get in the water. Large rock formations with lots of birds. No snorkeling. Then you blast back to the dock. We had lots of fun zooming on the jet skis. They are very powerful and fast. If high speeds and open ocean with lots of bumping and pounding aren't for you then this is not your activity. You really need to keep up with the group so just putting along granny style really isn't an option and slow speeds actually can make the pounding worse and reduce steering. Not for the old or infirmed esp anybody with neck or back problems that could be exacerbated by the ride. Ever found whales for us and we were about as close to them as we have ever been.
