The private jet ski tour was one for the books! We saw a trifecta of ocean wildlife up close and personal that included a logger head turtle (it almost ran into my ski on the way out of the marina), manatee and tons of dolphin showing off! They have a nice fleet of jet skis that are well maintained, their team is safe on the water and we had a BLAST! Chris was our guide and he did a nice job of allowing my mom to go at a speed she was comfortable with that was not too fast. We were there for our annual Mother + Daughter trip the week of May 19, 2024.

Mark was an excellent guide! It was a beautiful day to be out on the water and he was excellent at navigating the islands and sharing information with us about dolphins (which we saw), the mangroves, the water and birds! Very interesting. We got to go fast which I love and I personally had a blast running from the storm! The best part was knowing that Mark was having a blast as well. I didn't feel like he was doing a job. It felt like sharing an adventure with him!

We were a party of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We had a great time on this tour. The skis look well kept. It's my first time, so I was nervous about going too fast or falling over, but the quick speech and initial practice settled my nerves. We had a great time going about 45-50mph and making S's around the islands. At the end of our tour, we saw dolphins! I'd definitely do it again - and for the price, it's pretty good compared to the vendors by the beach.

This was the highlight of our trip to Marco Island! We loved it! The guides were excellent, giving us a good ratio of time cruising through the islands on the jet skis and stopping occasionally to tell us a bit about the area. They took pictures and videos for us all along the way so we didn’t have to get our phones out and worry about dropping them in the water. I highly recommend this tour. Next time we’re there we will definitely do it again.

We enjoyed getting to explore backwater routes not accessible via any other tour. The twists and turns in the 10,000 Islands make it equal parts beautiful and exciting throughout the entire tour. Captain Andrew is the best. He’s very knowledgeable about the area, thorough with safety equipment and explanations, and a really nice guy.
We got to see dolphins on the tour, had a few chances to take pictures and drink water throughout.
10/10 loved the experience and hope to be back again.

My sister and I had a terrific time on this amazing jet ski tour with Andrew. It was a beautiful day, and Andrew did an excellent job of guiding teenagers who already had experience on jet skis along with a novice like myself. Everything was very well organized, the jet skis were in great shape, and Andrew even took us to a spot where we saw a pod of dolphins up close. Really couldn't imagine a better outing and highly recommend it. Many thanks to you, Andrew!

Our family of four loved this experience! My younger children did great. We got to see dolphins up close. We saw a large spotted eagle ray jump out of the water and it was so cool! The length of the tour was plenty of time for my kids. We did the earliest morning time slot and I would recommend that for families. Chris was our guide and did a great job guiding us through the tour and pointing out wildlife.

Our family of four including 9 and 11 year olds had a blast riding the jet skis through all the twists and turns of the mangroves and small waterways. None of us were particularly experienced with jet skis so the learning curve was steep. Once we got the hang of the speed and turning it was quite exhilarating. The kids each sat on the back of the jet skis. We saw a couple dolphins. This is NOT a relaxed nature tour by any means. It's a high speed thrill ride. Would consider doing it again when the kids are old enough to handle their own skis. The tour guides were patient and very helpful!

Andrew, our guide, was great and very patient with us. We were able to have fun, but at the same time I felt that safety came first. The ski jets seemed brand new with the latest technology. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend the excursion, just try to go when the sea is fairly calm, it will make the experience much more enjoyable.

In life you sometimes have these experiences that are so perfect you feel like it’s a movie, the type that you never want the day to end, this experience was one of those. I honestly cannot recommend the jet skis experience enough, okay it’s quite expensive and you have to do a test before to get a certificate, but it’s 100% worth it. It was just myself and my partner on the trip. Andrew was a fantastic host, he was friendly and told us the basic info and let us decide what we wanted to do with her time since it was just us on the adventure. Andrew also took pictures of us on the jet skis (making a fab insta post to make the friends jealous) and also took some great shots of the Dolphins which he sent to our phones once we finished. Most of the trip involves weaving in and out of the ten thousand islands (approx 20 miles away in the everglades) which was mind blowing, lots of narrow routes with over arching trees gives you a different experience to any other jet ski ride I’ve been on. I will be recommending this to everyone I know in the area and hope to be back next season to do the same. Thankyou Florida adventures
