The staff here consistently earns praise for being friendly, professional, and efficient. Reviewers mention crew members like Captain Jamie, Peter, and Kinoa by name, highlighting how they make the experience fun while keeping things safe and well-organized. The booking process runs smoothly from start to finish, with easy online reservations, seamless check-ins, and straightforward purchasing of GoPro footage afterward. Instructions are clear, and the team maintains a laid-back, welcoming vibe throughout. The jet ski courses run in actual ocean waters, which means you'll hit waves and potentially catch some air, making for an exciting ride. Some riders have noted their sessions felt shorter than expected, and there have been occasional technical issues with video downloads. Overall though, most visitors walk away thrilled with their experience and eager to return. The combination of professional service and genuinely fun water activities seems to be the winning formula here.
From the front desk to the boat - the H2O staff is AMAZING! Our boat crew was highly entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed our parasailing experience and the extra dunk in the water. Thank you Andrew, Brandon, and Scott for a fantastic experience!
