Select participants and date
The pickup truck eases away from the hotel strip with an air-conditioned calm; palms slide past, and the ocean keeps pace, bright and impatient. By the time the shoreline unfurls—white sand giving way to sugar-toned limestone cliffs and a belt of reef—the deckhand has already laid out life vests and a waiver. You test the jet-ski in a sheltered swell, learn how the throttle answers, then the water takes you. The 45–60 minute open-sea run is kinetic: spray stitches the air, the hull bangs the chop, and the horizon dares you to push harder.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sun is intense over open water—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after the jet-ski to protect your skin and the reef.
Waterproof your essentials
Use a small dry bag or waterproof phone case for ID, cards and cameras—the ride will get you wet.
Confirm weight and age limits
Parasail harnesses have strict weight/age restrictions—provide accurate weights when booking to avoid denied boarding.
Choose morning departures
Early start times usually mean calmer seas and clearer skies for both jet-skiing and parasailing.
