Itinerary

The tour lasts two hours. In the first hour, you’ll meet your guide, get a safety briefing, and dress up in a dry suit, warm fleece layer, gloves, and helmet with built-in comms—everything you need for a comfortable, safe ride on the water. 

Then you’re off! Hop on your jet ski and cruise along the Reykjavík coastline, heading toward a small island known for its puffin population. You’ll pause near the shore to spot these seabirds in their natural habitat, with binoculars available for a closer look. Your guide will take care of the photos so you can enjoy the moment. 

Throughout the tour, your expert guide leads the way, and with helmet comms, you’ll stay connected and in sync with the group. The ride back is just as fun, with sea spray, skyline views, and the thrill of the waves wrapping up a one-of-a-kind Icelandic adventure. 

Prices are listed per person. If you’re sharing a jet ski (Double Rider option), each person must book their spot separately—you need to select 1x ticket per rider, not per jet ski. 

To operate a jet ski, you must be at least 17 years old and hold a valid driver’s license.

Safety comes first. If conditions on the water aren’t suitable, the tour may be rescheduled or fully refunded. You’ll be informed in advance if there are any changes. 

Yes—if you’re choosing the Double Rider option, each person still needs to book their own ticket. That means selecting one ticket per person, not per jet ski.
