Went parasailing for the first time. Brought the kids who were a little nervous at first but the first mate went out of his way to make them feel comfortable and they ended up describing the experience as "epic" We are sure to come back. More

My husband, myself, 17 year old son and 11 year old son all went parasailing and took the safari tour on the wave runners over Spring Break and the owners and staff were extremely professional, well trained, accommodating. The adventures we took were amazing and a cherished memory that will always be a part of our family. The dolphins were... More

We loved the chance to ride the waverunners in the open waterway combined with a guide through the canals to Capers Island. Felt safe yet also thrilling. Guides were laid back and we had a ball. One thing to improve it: provide water for 90 minute long adventure. More

Rented Wave runners and did the Safari Tour. The Tour is well worth it. Meet our expectations which is hard to do. Guide was knowledgeable. Runners had plenty of speed. Saw dolphins feeding and Capers Island area was beautiful. Can't wait to visit again and try something else. Thanks More

We took advantage of a Groupon Special for their Banana Boat ride. They were all very nice and accommodating. We saw dolphins - which was really awesome. The ride would have been $25 for a 30 min ride. I think that might be a little high so not sure we would have went for that. It was a beautiful day. More

Took my kids, 10 and 9 on the Jet Ski Safari. Awesome time. The girls loved it. Incredible scenery and awesome tour guides. The beach walk on Capers was great! What 10 year old wouldn't love racing across the water at 48 mph?? More

I booked a waverunner (jetski) safari for my husband & I, initially I booked a 'double' which means 2 people sharing one ski, but changed it to a jetski each and am glad I did. This was a great adventure, an hour and a half (felt like a whole lot more to me though) of high speed follow-my-leader fun on... More

This was my second time at tidalwave water sports and I have to say that tidalwave is the best place by far to rent jet skis and go banana boating. We went banana boating first with ages ranging from 8-15 so we all had different ideas of fun but the guide seemed to incorporate aspects of what everyone wanted and... More
