Dustin went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. He even found whales for us out in the ocean, which was such an amazing experience! Afterward, he got us set up in the bay with paddle boards, a lily pad, and goggles so everyone could get in the water and enjoy themselves. If you're looking for a captain who genuinely cares about making sure everyone has an amazing experience, ask for Dustin. 10/10 experience and easily 5 stars. We will absolutely book with him again!

First off a huge shout out to Adam and Lucas the tour guides. If you get these two you are very…read morefortunate. They are extremely knowledgeable of the ocean the animals the water the skis etc. very friendly. And when they had to help me out of the water two times they didn't complain. With that being said I want to encourage everyone to do this. I'm a 55 year old lady. 5'6" not in shape. I'm a waitress so I walk but I have no desire for the gym. lol. So my daughter signed us up. I'm not knowing we have to swim through a cave. You have the option to stay on. Me I thought go go now. But that here nor there I was in the water. There is a hook or step on the back of the ski to help but I have a little more junk in my truck and needed a little more help. The two of them got me out. Then after getting to the island. There are two routes. The back island is for adventures. There's snorkeling and climbing and you can hang out. very little shopping or eating. But you go to the cave and then swim through it with a guide and then get to the island where you are there for three hours. If you go to the Avalon side you are there for three hours but I feel there is more to do on that side. But if you are adventurous and don't like a lot of people go to the back side. Both I have been to and both are fun. We went to the backside and we were going to snorkel. After the three hours you meet back at the jet skis and it's a fun trip back home. On the way there I was trying to get the hang of it and was always last. there were some speed devils in the group. lol. I was a newbie. On the way back I felt a little more confident. leaving we took off and we're traveling for about 10 min or so when The tour guide along with another person mentioned a pod of dolphins. So we turned around to go back. They swam with the skis. It was a blast. Then we headed back to Long Beach. It took about an hour and 45 min to get there. This included going to the cave and swimming through. There are three stops. It was about an hour and a half to get back. No cave. You are never alone and there is always a guide or another jet ski person around. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I got a little confidence and was doing 42 when two sides of water came at me and I crashed and was thrown from the ski. Again they came and rescued me. Never was I scared or in any danger of anything. After getting me there were a few others that were helped out of the water as well. It was such an awesome time. I loved it and would definitely do it again. Questions I had that after going I'm going to mention and hope this helps you. We meet at 7 am. You park at the hotel. You are stamped and valida through jet ski company so bring your parking ticket. It was only 14 dollars. The jet ski has enough room for two large backpacks. I had a large one and my daughter had a medium one and there was enough room for another backpack. Now if it is not a waterproof backpack I suggest bringing a plastic bag as there is a little water that does get into the jet ski . not a lot maybe two to three ounces. Wear gloves. Very important. Also bring and wear sunscreen. And I recommend boat or water shoes. I give this trip 5 the only thing that I would have a complaint about is the wetsuit itself. You get a long sleeve one piece shorts wetsuit that they give you. They wash or rinse everyday after the tour. Mine was still wet and had a mildew smell. Not anything bad and you don't end up smelling like it when you take it off. But that would be the only thing I could even complain about.

If you're on the fence about booking Jet Ski 2 Catalina, do it. This was truly a bucket-list…read moreexperience, and our guides, Drew, Zack, and Phil made it unforgettable. They were professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. They took an incredible adventure and made it even better. Before our trip, I spent a lot of time reading reviews trying to figure out what was actually worth bringing. Here's what I found compared to my own experience: The most commonly recommended items were sunscreen, gloves, water shoes, and goggles. I completely agree. We brought all of them just in case and ended up using everything except the goggles. I wear contacts and expected the ocean spray to be an issue, but it never bothered me. That said, I'd still recommend bringing goggles, you may appreciate having them depending on the conditions. I also saw quite a few reviews mentioning the smell of the wetsuits. Honestly, ours weren't bad at all. We wore them on the ride over to Catalina, and on the return trip they weren't required. If you do wear one, I'd recommend leaving the top half down around your waist when you're not in the water. It gives you a little extra padding on the seat while still keeping you comfortable. The ride to Catalina was smooth, and we were able to really open the skis up and enjoy the speed. The ride back was a little choppier, making it more technical to navigate, but it was still an absolute blast. The jet skis are also surprisingly practical. There are two storage compartments: one large enough to hold two or three full-size backpacks, and a second waterproof compartment that's perfect for your phone, chapstick, wallet, or other small essentials while keeping everything easily accessible. We made three scenic stops on the way to Catalina, which gave everyone a chance to rest, take photos, and enjoy the views. The highlight of the trip, though, was the wildlife. We rode alongside a massive pod of dolphins, and it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I've ever had. Being out in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by dolphins in their natural habitat, is something I'll never forget. We also saw seals, which made the experience even more special. I can't recommend this adventure enough. It's more than just a jet ski ride, it's a true ocean adventure and an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. If you're considering it, book it. You won't regret it.
