Puerto Vallarta · JET SKIS
Good jet ski rentals fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride a jet ski from Marina Vallarta along Puerto Vallarta’s coast with guide Ever, stopping near Los Arcos for snorkeling. Expect a small group, ocean views, possible dolphins, turtles, manta rays, and whales, plus a safety deposit, harbor fee, and choppy water.
“Ever was an excellent guide and full of knowledge! He made our excursion very fun! I highly recommend this experience! You will not be disappointed!”
Ride a personal watercraft from Marina Vallarta across Banderas Bay, stopping near Los Arcos and a snorkeling beach. Guides such as Armando, Johnny, and Bam Bam lead the route, explain local sights, and help you feel secure on the water. Morning departures usually offer calmer conditions.
“Armando was a great tour guide and very informative about the area. Beautiful scenery with some time to swim and cool off. We even saw several whales!”
Take a private 55-foot Chica yacht around Banderas Bay for about four hours. Your group can set the route, stop at Los Arcos, snorkel, paddle, tube, and use a supervised Jet Ski. Drinks, ceviche, guacamole, and water gear are included.
“The private yacht was amazing, the crew was exceptional and provided the best experience. They were knowledgeable and provided a great whale watching experience as well as keeping us entertained and safe on the boat and jet ski. The drinks and food were great, would recommend this yacht and crew.”
Ride a two-person jet ski from Flamingos Beach toward the Puerto Vallarta boardwalk and Plaza Holi area. You’ll receive a life jacket, safety instructions, and your own private outing for up to two people. The 30-minute ride returns to the same beach meeting point.
“Jet skis were broken/ragged. By the time they “fixed” whatever the problems were there was no time left to ride.”
