Enjoy our hour and a half long excursion with a guide through the back bay while you drive your own waverunner and experience wildlife such as dolphin, manatees, rays, fish and birds from up close. We also offer freestyle riding with the largest riding area on the beach and the least boat traffic. Parasailing is a must with 1 to 4 flyers at a time! « less

My husband and I took the dolphin Jetski tour on Wednesday, April 25th at 9:30 a.m. Our guide was amazing, informative and fun. I would only caution that the tour does move pretty quickly at times so mention up front if you are nervous to go fast on the jetski. More

Typical - jet-ski's, para-sailing, banana boat... Priced for tourists! Girls had a good time para-sailing though! Need to make reservations for the para-sailing! More

Our guide was great. Funny, saw 6-10 dolphines. Jet skies were fun during tour. We were going to rent others, however had enough time on them during the tour More

Took Dolphin tour on their Wave-Runners and it was a most enjoyable experience. Chad was our guide and was extremely generous sharing his knowledge and time. He took us to many spots where the dolphins were right along side the wave-runners, floated next to hugh manatees, saw a bald eagle at a distance in his nest and finally came upon... More

Last year we did the Parasailing ride and decided to try Wave Runner Dolphin tour this year. It was well worth it. I had never ridden a wave runner before but found once I got the hang of it it was a lot of fun. The faster you go the more control you have. We got to see several dolphins... More

My wife and I took two of my kids, 13 yo girl and 7 yo boy on the wave runner dolphin tour. I appreciated the on-the-beach location. It was extremely convenient to just walk the beach over to the launch point. It sounds like all the guides are great but we were lucky enough to have Ben as our guide.... More

We went on the jet ski dolphin tour. The guide drove very fast and it was difficult to keep up. I had to go much faster than I was comfortable with and I'm not afraid of a little speed. We saw a few dolphins, but that was about it. Seems if we had been going a little slower, we might... More

Thank you! We always appreciate input from our customers. The guides are encouraged to drive an average speed of that which the group is comfortable with. We have spoken to all of our guides to remind them of that point. Fortunately it is not something we hear very often- but, to us, once is too much. We are celebrating our... More

We visited Ft. Myers on a last minute getaway. While there I googled "Ft. Myers Beach jet ski" and up came Mid-Island Water sports. We originally wanted to rent jet ski's, but we were very intrigued by the jet ski dolphin tour. Once we compared the two it was an easy choice, the 1 1/2 tour was a much better... More

Convenient because of the cabanas or umbrella chairs for rent at 25 dollars per day. The wave runners are 85 dollars per hour or 65 per half hour. a bit more than others on the beach, but the closest ones to rent are at the north end near "Times Square" (by the pier). Not bad, friendly people too. More
