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. 

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

All prices are per person. For the Double rider option, you need to select 2x for each jet ski that you want to book; for the Single rider option, you select 1x per jet ski. If you want to book for an adult and a child on the same jetski, you select 1x Double rider and 1x Child.

Pick-up: Available for 4,000 ISK per person from the downtown Reykjavík area. Select one of the available pick-up locations in the drop-down menu on the booking widget before booking, and please be ready at your chosen location 30 minutes before the tour starts.

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.
