Activity description

Discover the beautiful island of Santorini and enjoy a unique and unforgettable jet ski safari accompanied by a qualified instructor!

This activity starts at Perivolos Beach, a popular beach in Santorini known for its unique dark sand, crystal-clear waters and lively atmosphere. Santorini is an iconic Greek island situated in the southern Aegean Sea, part of the Cyclades archipelago. A jet ski safari is a thrilling way to discover the southern side of the island!

 

The starting point of your jet ski safari around the south coast of Santorini is Perivolos Beach. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the certified instructor and receive your equipment. Safety lockers are available on-site to store your personal belongings while at sea. No previous experience is required, you'll start with a demonstration and driving lesson, so you can master the techniques of jet skiing! You can choose to drive the jet ski by yourself or hold a passenger.

Once you are prepared, you will head out to the Aegean Sea, following the experienced guide. Glide across the glistening waters, heading southwest towards the beaches of Vlyhada, Red Beach, Kampia, and White Beach before ending up at the beach of Mesa Pigadia, and the famous lighthouse of Santorini.

Snorkelling equipment will also be provided so you can discover the world beneath the surface. You'll take plenty of swimming and snorkelling breaks along the way. There will also be a photographer out at sea with you, who will capture pictures of you on your jet skis as you zoom along the coast. On your way back to Perivolos, you will be able to relax with a complimentary soft drink.

We loved the jet ski tour - my wife and I both thought it was great. The views from the water are incredible and it was cool to see some of the places we visited on land from the sea. Also, the swimming in the sea was fantastic!

C’était top ! Débutant friendly, les instructions sont claires et l’instructeur ralentit quand il faut. Nous avons fait 1h30 de jet ski tout le long des falaises avec 3 arrêts pour les explications puis un arrêt plus long pour nager et faire du snorkelling qui nous a permit de voir des petits poissons !

Jet skiing was so much fun. This specific provider was recommended in a blog I had read about Santorini. It was nice that they took pictures of us that we could buy too!

Très bien organisé, très bon accueil, nous n'avions jamais fait de jet ski et c'était génial. Paysages magnifiques. Petit plus nous avons fait une halte pour explorer les fonds marins. Une activité que je recommande pour découvrir une partie de l'île d'une façon ludique.

  • 5 / 5

Jet skiing around Santorini is an absolute must! The sea is incredible but more importantly you get to visit sites like the red beach, white beach, and black mountain that would either be inaccessible or very difficult to access. The jet skis are also clearly well maintained.

We took the jet ski safari tour around the island and it was so much fun. We did not have a large group which made it even better as there was more one on one interactions with the guide.

  • 5 / 5

Great fun to cruise around the south side of Santorini in a jet-ski. Never been on a jet-ski but that wasn"t a problem !

  • 5 / 5

Amazing few hours spent exploring Santorini on jet ski... would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island

  • 5 / 5

This was our first jet skiing experience and it was beautiful. We stopped at all the beaches and our instructor took pictures of us. We were the only ones on the tour, so she went the speed we wanted to and let us stop and swim at one of the locations.

  • 5 / 5

This was the most fun experience! 10/10 would highly recommend as an activity while in Santorini. Perfect for all skill levels. You’re able to visit parts of the island only accessible by boat.

  • 5 / 5

This was a 90 minute Jet Ski tour starting at Perivolos Beach, covering the beautiful scenic views of Red Beach, White Beach and the natural scapes of Santorini! The tour is beginner friendly. You basically follow a boat with the instructor, stopping at multiple points to catch the gorgeousness of nature. There’s also some time allocated to snorkel in the clear blue waters at the end.

This was an amazing excursion. With no prior experience being on a jet ski, I opted to ride behind my husband and let him do the driving. At first, it was a little scary, but I soon started to find it thrilling. The entire experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

Such an amazing way to see Santorini from a unique vantage point. Great guides, excellent equipment, and a ton of fun. We rented 4 jet skis for the two of us and our two young adult sons (ages 19 and 21). A perfect way to spend the day together.

Jet ski Safari

  • 5 / 5

We did the trip along the southern end of the island. The instructors were very attentive and added a lot of value to the experience. The views were amazing. This was a really fun way to see the island. We went in the morning before all the boats arrived and had the water to ourselves.

  • 5 / 5

We did the jet ski safari, it was fun, It was our first time on a Jet Ski, my partner and I took 1 jet ski and switch in the middle so we both enjoy the ride.

  • 5 / 5

Well looked after

  • 5 / 5

Very friendly, helpful staff. Made us first-time jet skiers feel comfortable by giving us time to adjust to the jet ski, make frequent stops in the beginning and ask how we were doing with the group speed. It was a very exciting, fun experience and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an adventurous activity!

  • 5 / 5

The jet ski tour was so much fun, especially for our teenager! The crew was amazing, took amazing photos, and the equipment was in great condition. Highly recommend.

Even if i was not totally comfortable with the water, the activity was amazing and my husband really enjoyed it.

  • 5 / 5

Jet ski safari was fantastic. The instructors and equipment were all top notch. They took great care to be sure we were all comfortable driving the jet skis in some choppy water.

  • 5 / 5

Jet ski safari was fantastic. It was an AMAZING adventure; my teenagers said it was even more fun than they had expected (and they had expected this to be the highlight of our trip). The staff was friendly, calm, safety-conscious, and so, so nice. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Jet Ski Safari from Perivolos, Santorini, South Coast Tour My wife and I had a wonderful time. It was our first time on Jet Ski in the Ocean. The staff was very helpful and thorough with the instructions and we were always in contact through the radio they gave us. We felt very safe the whole time. Especially my wife, who is a "doggy paddle" swimmer felt very safe and enjoyed the experience. Would definitely do it again and recommend all to try.

  • 5 / 5

Beautiful tour on jet skis of the coast. Our family of four took the tour. Two great tour guides who took amazing pictures that we received in the end. Highly recommend.

  • 5 / 5

The jet ski excursion was a blast! The staff was so friendly and they provided complimentary sunglasses straps and clear cell phone pouches so you can be comfortable and take awesome action shots on the water. You get to see a really cool part of southern santorini which is much less touristy and peaceful, yet still exciting and adventure-filled. We even got to get off the jet skis and swim in the water for awhile. The staff provided us goggles to do some snorkeling too. I highly recommend this experience!

  • 5 / 5

Jet Ski Volcano Tour was one of the cooler more unique experiences we've ever done. Being able to jet ski in the open ocean and get closer to amazing sites than other excursions made the trip. Got the full experience. Saw beautiful sunny weather. And got to jet ski in a rain storm as well which was really fun and unforgettable.

  • 5 / 5

Jet Ski Volcano Tour was out of this world and loved getting to see the Santorini volcanos up close and personal.

One of the best experiences in Santorini.

  • 5 / 5

It was my husband's first time riding the jet ski. Thanks to the patient and attentive staff, he picked up the skill quickly. The entire riding joinery was fun and exciting! Though there was a bit terrifying at the beginning, but it was absolutely a joyful choice. I am glad that I checked it out. It is worth every penny.

Such an amazing experience jet skiing around Santorini to see the sights. The equipment was great and ensured a safe and comfortable ride.

  • 5 / 5

The jet ski volcano tour was so much fun and a highlight of our trip. For my husband, he loved every moment. For me, there were parts that were too choppy / I was a bit scared of being thrown into the sea and I was gripping him for dear life... but being on the sea and seeing the views were worth it.

  • 5 / 5

Very organized and efficient - knowledgeable instructors. Would definitely recommend to everyone visiting.

Amazing activity, much better than stay at the same place with a jetski

The jet ski tour was a blast. The scenery was great and had an awesome time. We did the 2-hour version and honestly, it was perfect.

  • 5 / 5

Great instructors, super fast jetski's and amazing scenery! Beginning drivers might consider taking a tour shorter than three hours. However, for more experienced drivers the long tour is the best option!

Très bonne ballade en jet ski

  • 5 / 5

We loved to spend the morning visiting the caldera on a jet ski! It was such a fun activity and the views were beautiful.

  • 4.3 / 5

This was a great tour with competent staff and well planned. The equipment was all in good shape and the sights were beautiful. We took our kids and they enjoyed it too. It really is a great way to see the island from a perspective of the sea! One note for awareness for others- there is no free play on the jet skis. You have to follow in a line carefully spaced out. I’m sure this keeps it safe for everyone but if you have jet skied before, this is a tour and not for any free play. My suggestion to the company is that they allow 15 minutes or so to play in the open water for those interested. Otherwise, this can be disappointing for those expecting this, considering the cost. Thanks!

Amazing experience and I still cannot believe we went on this tour. I really felt like this was a unique way to explore the island and would encourage anyone on the fence on deciding to do this. They also took amazing photos and videos.

  • 4 / 5

This was a really fun tour, zipping through the sea and to the beaches. Two things to note: 1. 2.5 hours is a LONG time on a jet-ski. Especially if the water is bumpy, as it was on the day that we took the tour. Grateful that you have the option to get on the boat if you get tired. 2. Drone footage and photos were a separate cost, not included in the price as some of the previous reviews note.

  • 4.8 / 5

The tour is a nice way to see the beaches. It starts from a black beach. You see the red and white beach. The white beach is only accessible by boat. The tour itself is a bit fast. My brain hurt from the juggling of my brain. But it was a nice way to get familiar with the island. We booked one jet ski and my husband drove. They provide drone video footage of the tour included in the price, which is a nice touch.

Jet Ski Volcano Tour

  • 5 / 5

Jet skiing with Lisa at Wavesports was one of the highlights of our trip to Santorini. We did the 3 hour volcano hot springs tour, and it was perfect for beginner-intermediate riders. It was amazing seeing the volcano up close, and while we didn't swim in the hot springs (we could smell the strong sulfur from the jet skis) it was absolutely gorgeous, and we got to swim out by the White Island. Lisa and the other tour guides will definitely modify the tour based on your experience to make sure you enjoy it safely.

  • 5 / 5

We did the long jet ski tour that visits the volcanoes and surrounding islands

  • 4.5 / 5

Volcano tour—ran a bit long and a bit cold, but all in all, very wonderful and exhilarating!

  • 5 / 5

The volcano tour was amazing! You get to see the entire island and learn about the history and variety of beaches. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is looking to see all of Santorini and spend a few hours on the water.

  • 5 / 5

If you're not an experienced jet ski driver, your first run through the Aegean see at 65 kph is a bit harrowing, but you get used to it, and the tour is unique and exhilarating and so unique. You get to drive through the two volcanoes and drive right up to the many beautiful beaches. A different, and very fun way to experience the caldera. Some advice: book a jet ski for each person, do not try to share one.

Great jet skis and staff, there couldn’t be a better place for the activity

  • 5 / 5

If you love speed, this is the activity for you. Yes, it is definitely on the expensive side, but you really get to bring out your speed demon side, view the fantastic island from another point of view, go for a little swim in a beautiful little bay, and get a tour of places you would not see otherwise.I found myself smiling and hooting the whole time!

Such a fun way to explore Santorini and learn about its history. We did the 2.5hour volcano tour and it was the perfect length!

  • 5 / 5

So glad I booked this for our trip in Santorini! We did the South Coast Tour (not the Volcano tour which I'm sure would be amazing!) and still really enjoyed it! It was pretty windy the day that we went, so the tour actually got bumped up to an earlier part of the day before the wind/waves got worse. It was still a very bumpy ride, but very thrilling. And the views were amazing! We were staying in Imerovigli, but booking this tour gave us the opportunity to hang out at the beaches on the other side of the island & see the coasts from the open ocean.

  • 5 / 5

The crew at Wave Sports helped us get prepared and gave instruction on how to board and drive the waverunners before we left. All the directions on how we were to do the tour were clear and reasonable. The tour itself stopped at several scenic spots on the south side of Santorini and then we crossed the caldera to the volcanos at the center. The guides provided interesting information at each stop, were personable, and fun. This is definitiely something that MUST be done when visiting Santorini.

It was a really good experience to do. It was our first time in a jet ski and we would repeat it with any doubt. Whereas you ride the jet sky you could enjoy the landscape. It's an activity that we strongly recommend to do in Santorini.
