What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and short water demo to get comfortable with the controls. Then it's your call: stick to the shallow shallows or push further out across the bay. Swap riders by pulling up on the beach—no faffing about with return trips. The water's calm enough to spot marine life if you ease off the throttle and keep your eyes peeled. Expect salt spray, engine noise, and a fair bit of adrenaline. Sessions feel quick at 30 minutes, so pack the action in early.
