        You will be taken to pretty much all the beach of the island and be able to swim. Your guide will explain you about the place you are stopping.

        Requested more money in the middle of ocean
        I can say I was a great tour and my tour instructor was great. The 1 thing I can say was there was lack of communication with the tour instructor and director. I was well into my tour when the director of the tour came to me out in the ocean to tell me that I only rented 1 jet ski. This wasn’t an issue if this was told before we left the dock. I was told when I checked in at the office that I had 2 jet skis and the director told the instructor I had 2 jet ski. So to my surprise the director wanted me to pay for another jet ski when it wasn’t my mistake on how many jet skis I was allowed to have. I followed the directions of my instructor when he told us the 2 jet skis assigned to us. I felt like they was trying to get more money from me for there mistake. Which was not ok. I would be happy to have only taken 1 jet ski if that’s what I paid for but not 1 hour into the tour to request money out in the ocean.

        Jet Paradise in SXM is amazing!!
        My husband and I booked an all day jetski tour for Friday 11/10/23. We arrived around 8:30 and started the tour quickly after at about 8:45. We found that it would be just us and our awesome tour guide Steven. We headed out and the ocean was large waves which made it such a blast!! We were getting hammered with water and I was laughing like a child. The skis we rode were top notch! I even lost my sunglasses and Steven called a co-worker to come out and bring me another pair which was crucial due to the salt! Seeing the island from the water was awesome, so many great beaches. The water is also SO warm!! We got rained on a few times and it made the tour even more fun! We stopped for a lunch break and had a blast at the end of the tour flying around the bay. Steven took a lot of photos and videos which was awesome... Truly a great guy who loves his job and made the experience unforgettable. We almost booked a second tour while we were there but our visit was short!!!!

        Best Jetski Tour!
        Best jet ski tour! We did go during off season so it was just my fiance and I, basically like a private tour. The staff was extremely helpful and well knowledgeable of the area. I believe we went around majority of the island. Overall, a great time.

        A great experience.
        This was a really nice tour the JetSki‘s are really nice they are powerful, look new meaning they are in great condition that crappy. It was definitely a great price for the time we had in the water and on the JetSki’s. The owner Kevin is a a great instructor he’s a good guy, and I don’t know the other instructors name he was from Paris but lived on the island now, but he was very friendly and also a good guy. When and if I come back to St Martin I’m only booking with them. Way to go Jet Paradise.

        Bucket list moment with great instructors (Marella Cruise)
        I went Fly Boarding in St Martin as we had a day stop as part of the Tui Marella Cruise. It was the highlight of my trip and a bucket list moment for sure! I had Mike as my instructor and whilst he was direct with his instructions, he was still patient and encouraging. It took me less than 10 minutes of failing to stand up, before I was able to comfortably get air time and begin working on tricks. The guys were all gents and if I had more time in St Martin I would have 100% booked more activities. The location was about 10 minutes from Maho Beach which is definitely worth checking out to get your photo of the planes landing just above your head. Cheers boys for making a memory that I will never forget! Mike (Wales, UK)

        Canceled without notice
        They advertise the booking and when you get there they told us they do t have jet skis and need to cancel. Such a disappointment and horrible service. They said they try to call us bit off course this was a lay.

        fun
        Jules was an amazing tour guide. We would jet ski around the island and stop at places like Donald Trump’s villa or Jeff Bezo’s yacht. Jules, our tour guide took plenty of videos and pictures and sent them to me afterwards. 10/10

        Cruising the Caribbean Sea
        What a fantastic day on the water! Kevin is a terrific tour guide and person overall to spend the day with. We had a full group and I was the only English speaker, yet that didn’t matter since Kevin was extraordinarily welcoming and patient the entire time. Kevin often would share facts about where we were along with instructions during stops in French then again in English the entire time. He even took the time to explain a few of the conversations going on over lunch at Friar’s Bay Beach Cafe. This was my first time on a jet ski which made me a little nervous at first, however that wore off as the day went on. The water was choppy at times which prompted me to be extra cautious. The group let everyone go at their own pace with stops along the way to get everyone back together. A few highlights include a plane flying overhead by Maho Beach, cruising by spots like Trou de David and Happy Bay Beach, our stop at Friars Bay for lunch, and having the open water to ourselves at points to fly. Also worth noting that Matis at check-in was just as kind and friendly to talk to! Finding Jet Paradise can be a bit tricky. Park by Marina Port Royals, then walk to your left along the water to find the Jet Paradise shack. Make sure to bring sunscreen and water. You have some storage available in the jet ski to bring things along.

        Great Fun
        We found this activity by googling as we were on a cruise ship and wanted to do something different and then I managed to WhatsApp them after finding them on FaceBook. Not the easiest company to find...... We spoke with Kevin who was very efficient at responding to our many questions. He has a nice laid back approach which is calming. It was our 1st time in open waters on a Jet Ski and boy did we have fun. Jules was the guide, he let you go at your own pace but I would say apparently on our day it was quite wavy so as a newbie, challenging at times to keep up because of the sea spray. Open sea very different to calm bay riding :) We saw the planes landing, we stopped for a swim, we powered on calm bay water, we stopped for lunch at Friar's Bay, we went looking for turtles........if you want a fun ride then I would definitely recommend as these guys are very relaxed but safe too. The experience gave me the confidence to pull the trigger to go faster...... a great adrenaline rush :) Not for the faint hearted is all I'll say....... I was the slowest in my group of 4 but it didn't stop the rest from whizzing around and having fun. I whizzed too but just not as fast :) A brilliant day and well worth doing. Thanks to Kevin and Jules and also the lovely taxi driver Robinson who Kevin organised for us.

        Simply A Blast !!!!
        We did a 1.5 hour tour with I believe Jules. After securing our stuff and setting us up with pfd's he gave a safety speech then a quick course on the controls of the jet ski and how to operate it. After a warming us up in the harbor it was off to the races ... Those things RIP !!!!! We were given plenty of chances to open the jet skis up and then we would stop in loose group and get a brief and history of the areas we were going through. We had a great guide who packed a lot in a hour and a half. And the machines were in top shape they ran and looked brand new. One of the Best St Martin adventures we went on this trip.

        One of the best experiences of my life
        First of all the price is really fair compared to to other jet ski rides, since you spend all day doing the tour and goes all around the island, the tour guide is a really nice guy and lets you do the path you want the entire way, as long as you are following him, we stopped a few times to take some swims and once to have a drink and eat, also stopped behind the maho airport and saw a plane land right above us, truly amazing experience, the jet skis are beautiful and well conserved.

        If you’re seeking no instruction, organization or respect this is the jet ski tour company for you
        This was the most disorganized experience of my traveling life - and I have been to nearly 40 countries, so it’s saying something. I want to preface that I know Island life is more laid back but this crossed a line of extremely unprofessional. First we had a 3:30 PM appt, the company contacted us and asked us to come at 3. The staff member (I can’t and won’t call him an instructor) showed up back from his previous tour at 3:30 and didn’t even apologize for being late. He just said “whoops we started the other one late.” We finally got under way around 3:45 and had booked a 30 mins Jet Ski tour in the bay - and we chose this because it was my friend’s bday and we wanted to have enough time in the evening to go to dinner and enjoy an evening out. We got on the jet skis with no instructions- I explained it was my first time and he told me how to go forward, neutral and in reverse and then told me “not to tip over” but gave no instruction on how to do that. We took off and the instructor sped out like a bat out of hell. It was just me and my friend - we didn’t have a huge tour to keep up with, he went out in front of both of us and didn’t look back. I was having issues controlling my jet ski - again I had never done it before, made that clear and was hoping for a little direction. When we got to the bay I explained my issue and the staff member told me to press the gas with one finger instead of two - which worked, so I’ll give credit where credit’s due. Then we were left to play in the bay for about 20 mins - which we did. Then the staff member told us we were picking up people and I had to get off my jet ski and go on the back of my friend’s. I had all my personal belongings in my jet ski (at his instruction) and he took them all and put them in his. He then told me and my friend to “go play” cause he was now giving us more time for free because he had to stay with this other tour. We told him we had other plans and scheduled 30 mins very specifically. He then made us go back to the marina with no directions - still holding onto my items - telling us we had more of a chance to tip with two people. Two things upset me here: 1) we specifically got TWO jet skis because we knew of this tipping problem and we wanted to each be able to go at our own pace (so I paid for 2 and was currently sharing one) and 2) the staff member stayed with his other tour and told us to trust that he would be back. We floated in the marina for almost 25 mins waiting for him. This man never took into account our day, just stuffing us in between tours and not giving us any respect for our time or the money we were spending. All in all it was horrible. I guess you get what you pay for but there are many other options on the island and I would steer clear of this one unless you like no instruction, organization or respect for your time.

        Fun Jet Ski Excursion around Simpson Bay & Maho Beach
        We did a 1-hour private led jet ski tour around the marina, Simpson Bay and Maho Beach. We enjoyed our tour of the Simpson Bay marina and display of one magnificent yacht after another and jetting to Maho Beach to watch planes land into SXM. Jetskis were well maintained and overall great service.

      DO NOT ...and I repeat DO NOT book through this guy!!

      If I could give zero, I would.

      Let's begin this journey with the communication shall we?
      My wife and I were on a cruise ship and could not be reached until we arrived in to St. Maarten. The owner tried to contact us but was able to reach us once we came in to port. We were told that our tour was being moved from the Dutch side to the French side. The cost was now $50.00 USD each way ($100 USD total) . The tour operator reimbursed us $149.98 CDN. Okay

      Now, let's get the tour itself. This tour was run by Jet Extreme, who Jet Paradise sent us to.
      Now, the horror
      1st we arrive on the French side of the island and the tour guides don't look interested at all in our arrival. We do not speak French
      Now, no safety video, just sign here please. (I believe this is mandatory according to international maritime law)
      The tour guide addressed another couple in French and then gave us a quick over view.
      Our wonderful guide was not interested in anything other than have fun himself. He was leaving the tour company for a company in Miami and it showed. After smoking some pot on a vapor he took us out to seas that 5-8 ft, (this is not the tour operators fault because they don't control the weather). The guide was a good 1/2 mile from us at most times.
      My wife and I are experienced jet ski drivers but not familiar with the island. My wife fell of the jet ski and where was the guide??? ohh about a 1/2 mile away. It took him a while to get to her (about 3 minutes) . She couldn't reconnect the starter and was having difficulty with the seadoo . Again, the guide wanted to continue in the rough seas because he just wanted the thrill. He cared not for our safety and thank God my wife wasn't seriously injured.
      My advise, DO NOT book with this tour company!! Why? Because if he can't vet a reliable company that cares about tourists, what does that say for him?
      Avoid this place for your own health and safety. I rarely give a bad review but this was the bottom of the barrel!!!!!

      Good afternoon. This comment should be for JET EXTRÊME not for Jet Paradise. As you said your tour was not operating by jet Paradise. And what you describe is the opposite of the way WE proceed (you Can look other reviews) and I am very sorry that this experience was not the best for you and your wife. Jet Paradise is taking very seriously safety and regulations issue that is the reason we forward you to another company. We were not able to operate because we were waiting for administration paperwork including insurances. However we told you in the first place that we were not able to operate and that you will do your tour with another company. We let you the choice to cancel it or still going so you knew you were going with them as you mentioned it in your comment. You can't blame jet Paradise for the operation of the tour and if what you describe is what you experienced I totally understand your feeling. I tried to call you several time but could never reach you. It was the first time we were sending all our Booking during this short period (1 month) to another company. We choose JET EXTRÊME because we believed they are a good company. We sent other customer during the same period and they seems to be happy. Once again I am very sorry that you had a bad experience because our goal is to satisfy 100% of the guest coming to Jet Paradise but you went with another company anyway I decide to refund (however the tour was fully paid to jet extrême) a part of your tour and offer you to come back for a free ride with us Jet Paradise for you next time on the island. Regarding transportation you were suppose to wait for the driver you didn't and it made the price go higher. The only thing is that the price to go there was more expensive than going to our place that is why I offer to pay the différence and refund you. I apologies for not making this experience a great memory for you. Hopefully one Time you come back and I will show you how carefully we treat our guest at JET PARADISE. Have a nice day. Regards.

      They refused to honor the price quoted! Called on Monday about Christmas Eve private half day tour and was given a price and told to schedule it through WhatApp. Tried to schedule it on Friday and was given a price of 220 more. Given excuse that it is one of their busiest days and they cannot afford to give up two additional skis during that same time. That is why we were quoted an extra 100 on Monday so it would be a private tour, but now they are trying to get an additional 220. Not happening!!!

      We had a great time with Steven who showed us St Martin in a different way on a jet ski. I particularly recommend the 1/2 day option which allows you to stop for lunch before continuing the walk. Thank you again Steven for this excellent, relaxed moment full of precious memories that we will keep in mind for a long time!!! See you soon I hope, Stéphanie

      Better communications for transportation. The trip itself was great.our Guide Sebastián was very nice and he knew the areas we toured
      The seas were rough which made a rough ride at times
      Unique perspective of the island.We were lucky to have a plane fly over us while at Maho beach,really cool being out in the water for it. Good trip! I would highly recommend this trip.

      Jet Paradise was great. Kevin and Sebastian were great guys, personable and showed my group a good time. They were attentive to all skill levels and made sure that we were safe, but not overbearing to where we couldn't let loose if we chose to.

      Can't thank Kevin and Sebastian enough!

      Kevin gave my husband and I (both 65) an amazing tour from Marigot to Grand Case. We each had our own jet ski and rode great waves. We could stop whenever we wanted to swim or look for turtles. We ate lunch at Captain Frenchy’s ($60/couple). Mahi Mahi and crab stuffed prawns. Then we rode from Grand Case south and around the southwest tip toward Simpson Bay and Maho Beach where we sat on the jet skis while the jets flew over us.

      Really fun jet ski tour. Our guides were excellent and very friendly! The restaurant they took us to for lunch was delicious. The ocean was very choppy, which made for a rough ride from time to time. Overall, we enjoyed our experience! Even though it was guided and we were in a group, we did not feel restricted in exploring and going at our own pace.

      Fantastic island tour with Rom. Weather was not the best but had a great few hours out seeing the different areas of the island. Rom was a great guide. Good sense of humour, patient and confident. Would definitely recommend!

      We arrived in St Martin on a Carnival Cruise and we’re a little worried that we would be late getting back. We did the whole thing on line and with WhatsApp. Kevin assured me everything would be fine. We arrived at the port and a taxi, arranged by Kevin, picked us up. The taxi driver took us to Jet Paradise where we’re greeted by Kevin. The entire crew was so friendly. The tour was full of adrenaline rushes. The jet skis were brand new and powerful. Each rider drove at their on level and the ones, like me, who wanted to have a thrilling experience were allowed to “let it rip.” We jumped waves flew through the ocean and stopped in a few places. At the end of the tour, we were pretty tired. It was a LOT of fun! We would definitely do it again. BTW, we made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare.
