Set out from Auke Bay with Dangerous Water Adventures for a four-hour jet ski trip past Mendenhall Glacier, Douglas Island, and Admiralty Island. Guides Ian, Marcos, and Robert help you gear up, then choose a route based on weather and ability. Expect cold water, possible whales and orcas, and a maximum of 10 people.

“Robert was extremely kind and helpful when i called to ask questions about the tour. Picked us up and took us to the drop off location. Ian and Marcos, our tour guides were very nice, helpful, informative and took us on a jetski excursion of a lifetime! The day was more than we could have hoped for. They went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing adventure. Can’t say enough about how fun it was! Thank you guys for making the start of our Alaskan journey top notch!”

2.Ocean Pack Jet Ski and Yacht Whale Watching

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews · 4 hours · from $152Best value

Spend four hours at Puerto Colón with a guided jet ski ride, whale watching, swimming, snacks, and drinks. The group is limited to four people, with English or Spanish guidance. Captain Guy has helped guests spot pilot whales and a sea turtle, but the three-hour boat portion can feel long if wildlife stays distant.

“De jetski tour was echt geweldig, veel tijd op het water en behulpzamen mensen. de boot tour vonden wij lang duren, we zagen 5 beestjes en hebben daar 3 uur voor gevaren. De gids zei ook amper iets vonden wij tegenvallen...gelukkig maakte de jetski een hoop goed! Ook leuk dat je voor 30 euro fotos kan kopen alleen jammer dat je geen eigen telefoon mee mag t water op”

3.Ocean Pack Tenerife Jet Ski and Yacht Whale Watching

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $156

Split your time between a 1-hour guided jet ski ride along Tenerife’s Costa Adeje coast and a 3-hour whale watching trip. Guides Guy and Vladka help keep the day friendly and easy to follow. You may also swim, use snorkeling gear, and spot dolphins or whales, but photos and videos cost extra.

“Absolutely amazing, the ocean trip guid named “Guy” was incredible let alone my main guide named “Vladka” was amazing, was by my side at every step of the way and very helpful answering every question i had in mind. The only bad side to this was the fact we could not bring our phones with us on the jet ski part meaning i couldnt take any personal pictures while on or going to the jetski which is a big shame, really disappointed about that since i cant look back at any pictures for memory's. They did tell us they will take pictures for us but ended up charging €25 euros…”
