Turn up 30 minutes early – we can’t run your session if you’re late, or if you fail to show
None of our guests should be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and all drivers must be able to complete and pass a written safety test in English
Unfortunately, this isn’t suitable for pregnant guests or people with neck, back or spinal injuries
If the weather is looking dodgy, we might have to change up our route or timing a bit
The combined weight on each ski needs to be under 200kg.
This experience is geared toward new jet skiers, perfect for beginners and first-timers. If you’re not in a position to safely operate or ride a jet ski, then this probably isn’t for you. And just to clarify: you’ll need to be able to understand enough English to pay attention to the safety briefings and tests. If you’ve got specific needs or concerns, it’s best to get in touch and have a chat with us before booking.
To be upfront, food and drinks aren’t included with this tour. And to be honest, we don’t really have any special arrangements in place for people with dietary needs. Sorry if that causes any inconvenience.
We’ve got a fair but fairly strict policy when it comes to cancellations here. 24 hours‘ notice is a must if you’re cancelling outside of peak season. But if you’re booking during peak season or school holidays, we need at least 48 hours‘ notice.
In either case, if you do need to cancel inside that time frame, you won’t get a refund. Rescheduling is possible, but we can’t promise it will be at a time that suits you, and it might cost a bit extra.
And if you just don’t show up, sorry, tough luck, you’ve effectively lost your money. But if, for any reason, we have to cancel the tour ourselves because the weather’s really bad and it’s not safe to proceed, we’ll either find you a new date or give you a full refund.
