    Your ride
    Allen C.

    So I went to Long Beach Waterbikes and caught their father's day deal, all daddies ride for free. I was looking for something fun and different to do for father's day. This was exactly what I needed. I got some exercise and some nice views. I enjoyed myself very much and would definitely do it again. Right after I was done I was straight the bar for much needed refreshments. Yay!

    Long Beach Water Bike is amazing

    Mike provided excellent service. We all amazing time. Will recommend to family And friends.

    My birthday chain with no lights. My camera adjusted it too bright.

    We did this at night for my cousin's birthday. We were running late and since it's a bit tricky to find, got there later than expected but they were nice enough to still let us ride. Don't look for an office just to to the dock behind Ballast Point Brewery. It was cool the first 20 mins then it turned into a workout. The lifejackets we got were wet, so being there at 9pm, that added to the chill factor. My cousin, the birthday honoree, was given a bike that had half the lights on! He got on last and I wish he would've asked for another bike. The man getting us situated was nice but a bit hard to understand, even if I speak Spanish lol, and we weren't given a map. Luckily I found one on their website that I screenshot. Unfortunately, the area I wanted to go to was too far, it took us 40 mins just to get there considering we were a bit lost even with the map. It's hard to tell where you're going at night. So we didn't do the little roundabout by the homes and just headed back. I would do this again but can't imagine during the summer or we'd sweat even more. I think I would try the sunset one next time.

    So I'm gonna be completely honest. It was different from what I was expecting. We were completely lost at first trying to find the place. I wish there had been more signs up to direct us or like a map sent via email with info beforehand or something. And I thought it was gonna be a group thing where everyone goes out together at the same time, but it's just you and whoever you bring going out together. It was also more scary and intimidating to get on these water bikes at first than I was expecting, especially with the water looking like the black lagoon. But once we got on and were on our way we had a fun time and the view was beautiful. The speaker was definitely needed for the vibes. And it will be a leg workout. Wish we moved faster with all the pedaling we were doin but once we made it out by the homes with pretty lights it felt like we were coastin in a dream world. It was a beautiful memorable night, I will definitely come back again with a cute boy one day. But I might wear some booty padding next time because me and my cousins booties were sore right after and for the next 2 days following lol.

    Gorgeous day out!

    So much fun! I took my Mom, she's always wanted to bike ride but never got a chance to learn AND she LOVES the water so I thought, "heck why not put her on a water bike?!" LOL well, glad to report we had a TOTAL blast! The water is very lively! We counted 7 boats where the captain or his passengers waved at us! It was super cute everyone was having a great time! Many gorgeous birds with massive wings, some even scooping fish from the water (I was devastated at first but c'est la vie). Cute tadpoles swimming near the deck! Plus, I think someone recently proposed on the water because I found roses (on the stem) floating! The service is great though I will mention some of the younger workers have sort of a non communicative style and their answers don't necessarily give you a boost of confidence lol the older and possibly more experienced workers who we met on our way out are really fun, sweet and knowledgeable. All in all a great time and activity!

    Sunset!

    I went back this past weekend, and it was as great as a year ago! Me and my boyfriend went when it was at 4:30 pm so we got to see the sunset together for the first time. It was so relaxing and the perfect weather. The staff were kind and friendly as always! This time around it was easier to bike (turning out of the post, and coming back). Can't wait to take more of my friends here next year! I always recommend this spot to anyone in the area from out of town!

    Pretty affordable with very open availability. I recommend going at sunset. You get both the day time and night time beauty. Just note that it is a bit of a workout lol so i suggest brining something to drink with you and either take your own speakers or rent theirs. I give it a 4 because your a little far from the beautiful houses

    Sandals on the water bike is a NO
    asia m.

    The staff was great, and it was so easy to make reservations. The reason I give only 3 stars is because this was hard work! I was not expecting a major workout. It looked like it would be more fun but I wore the wrong shoes (flip flops) and it was so windy that we really had to bike I felt like I was at a cycle class on the water. Maybe if it was a nicer day it would have been a better experience.

    Great exercise Great service Great activity A lot of people were doing it & it made us think we could do it & so we did

    Michelle M.

    If you want a unique water activity look no further than Long Beach Waterbikes. This is such a fun thing to do. The staff is incredibly kind and responsive. If you join their text program you can get a free birthday ride. You do have to use the ride within a certain time frame. You can find free parking in the lot where the check in is located. Once you get down on the dock you'll sign a waiver and get a life jacket. We did the hour day time ride but the glow ride at night looks really cool as well. I am not in great shape but was able to do the ride for an entire hour. My family is already talking about doing this again. I would definitely recommend this!!

    Birthday Fun!

    Ask the Community - Long Beach Waterbikes

    The area we ride, is the waters safe? No whales or sharks? Has anyone tipped over from marine animals confrontations?

    Yes of course its safe, no marine animals are in this area

    Is there a weight restriction?

    Hi! Yes. 250 pounds. One person/hydrobike.

    How long is each rental?

    Hi Jennifer! You’re on the water for an hour. Check in is 30 minute prior to departure.

    Are there any age restrictions? Can you be 17 and ride?

    Hi! As long as there is someone that can sign for you and be on the water with you that is 18 or older. More info at lbwaterbikes.com/faq. Kids age 4-9 can ride as a passenger as long as total weight limit does not exceed 250 pounds. Other than that… 

    Dress code? Can a dress be worn? Shoes?

    Probably with a jacket. I didn't get wet whatsoever. You should be ok.

    Omg do I have to get on a scale with my friends around to know I'm 250 or under?

    Nope! Just be sure you’re under the weight limit. It is for your safety.

    So I can't ride if I'm over 250 pounds. I am 270 ish?

    That’s correct. The weight limit is 250 pounds. Hydrobikes lose stability if over 250 pounds is on them. Under 250 pounds and they’re extremely stable.

    Are you guys ever gonna make bikes for bigger people at least 350lbs?

    Hi Kayla! We don’t manufacture Hydrobikes. We buy them and rent them out.

    Are life jackets provided?

    Yes ! They provide life jackets :)

    Is it safe in the night time ? is there gonna be sharks swimming where we will peddle?

    Not open ocean. You'll ride in Alamitos Bay.

    How long can you ride the bikes for?

    Hi! Each reservation is 1 hour.

    Can you do this is you don't know how to swim?

    Yes but it’s required that you wear a lifejacket anyway.

    Can't my pregnant girlfriend be able to ride one? Any restrictions because of pregnant?

    Hi! We don’t recommend it but best to ask your doctor.

    Can my toddler ride with me?

    Hi Katherine! No. A child must be able to reach the pedals to ride.

    Do you guys take pictures?

    No not at this time.

    How much is it? Is it per hour or a flat rate?

    Hi! It’s $25/person/hour for day time and $30/person/hour for glow rides at night.

    How old do you have to be to ride a waterbike?

    For the best answer to this question, visit lbwaterbikes.com/faq

    When is the early bird special?

    We no longer have an early bird special.

    How much is it per person?

    Day Ride - $25/person/hour Glow Ride - $30/person/hour

    Is it totally free?

    Totally not free. But there is a way to ride for free. You would need to volunteer for trash pickup using the waterbike. It occurs once a month on a Saturday.

    Jetski To Catalina

    4.7(338 reviews)

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about the guides at Jetski2Catalina. From the moment we…read morestarted, they were incredibly positive, supportive, and attentive. I felt completely safe and genuinely taken care of under their watch the entire time. They handled a large group with ease, and remained attentive to everyone's safety. When there were a few more rambunctious personalities in the group, they handled those situations effortlessly while still keeping the experience fun for everyone. I was continually impressed by how aware they were of everything happening around us. What really pulled at my heartstrings was what happened toward the end of our trip. During the last 45 minutes or so, the guides received word about a pod of bottlenose dolphins, and they went out of their way to make sure we got to see them. When we did...I cried. It was absolutely majestic and one of those moments I'll never forget. I'm sure these guides have seen thousands of dolphins. It's probably something they encounter regularly as part of their job, but what struck me most was how genuinely excited they were for US to see them. They could have easily treated it like, "Yep, there's another pod of dolphins," and moved on. Instead, they were just as enthusiastic about us experiencing it as we were. That really stayed with me. It showed me that they don't just do this job, they care about the experience they're giving people. They haven't become so accustomed to these incredible things that they've lost the excitement of sharing them with someone experiencing them for the first time. I appreciated that more than I can put into words. One more thing I really want to say... I did this entire excursion by myself. I have plenty of friends, but for one reason or another, nobody was able to join me. Some were nervous, some had previous injuries, and some just couldn't make it work. I almost let that stop me. I'm SO glad I didn't. If you're waiting for someone else to be available, waiting for a friend to feel brave enough, or waiting for the "right" person to go with you, just go. You could be missing out on something absolutely incredible while waiting for someone else's schedule, comfort level, or circumstances to line up with yours. I went alone and never once felt alone. The guides made me feel safe, supported, and included from beginning to end. The Catalina experience itself was incredible, but the guides are what made it unforgettable. And seeing those dolphins while watching the guides get excited for us to experience it...that's a memory I'll carry with me for a very long time. 10/10 experience. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

    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.
