What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Horseshoe Bay and receive a thorough safety briefing before boarding your jet ski. Once underway, you're in control—the guide stays nearby offering direction and interpretation. Expect roughly equal time between riding and stationary swimming or sightseeing stops. The pace is steady rather than flat-out; you're watching the coastline and wildlife as much as throttling. Bays reveal granite monoliths, cave entrances, and occasionally marine animals. The guide narrates ecosystems and conservation work as you go. Bring confidence in the water—all riders must swim competently.
