Feed Your Need for Speed on a Grand Cayman Snorkelling and Jet Ski Tour

For families with older children, our Grand Cayman Snorkelling and Jet Ski Tour is a highly popular, adrenaline-pumping activity from Seven Mile Beach. But please note, the minimum age to ride a Waverunner alone is 16. To ride with a passenger, the minimum age increases to 18 years old. 

If your kids are old enough, you can all enjoy a thrilling adventure that combines the best of snorkelling and jet skiing in azure waters with startling visibility.

Hop aboard your jet ski and zip across the Caribbean Sea from one snorkel site to another. This is a guided tour, so a member of our team will lead the way to some of our favourite spots to explore.

To ensure the best possible experience, we limit the number of Waverunners per excursion to five, so be sure to book in advance to avoid missing out.
