From H2O Sports Hawaii in Honolulu, you take a short boat ride to a floating launch platform, then ride a Yamaha Jet Ski for 30 minutes on Maunalua Bay. The $80.77 price is per person for a tandem ski, with a solo upgrade available. Expect a marked course, a safety briefing, life jacket, and views of Koko Head and the Ko'olau Mountains.

“My 17 year old daughter and I booked the jet ski adventure. We had a great experience from start to finish. Checking in was smooth. We arrived about 30 minutes before our start time and were able to join an earlier group time. There is a 5 minute boat ride out to the activity area. There are cubbies on board where you can store your belongings. There are different groups with you and depending which adventure you selected (jet ski, banana boat tug or parasailing) you then get directed to that activity. The crew was very friendly. We definitely enjoyed our experience. Book yours now!”
