“We had a wonderful time on the jet skis. We had two people per jet ski. The guide was informative and it was a fun way to see Dubrovnik from the water. Items to mention. My husband and son (drivers of the skis) both had jet ski experience. We own jet skis. The waters were choppy and less experienced riders should take note of that as it could be challenging. Also, there was anti - collision technology on the skis so that was a little frustrating if you are used to driving your own jet ski. However, we still had a great time and would recommend.”
