My experience was excellent during my jet ski tour. The initial process of getting to the jet ski and prepping for the tour was quick and smooth. The tour guide was great very helpful and allowed me to ride at my level of skill in riding. I felt safe and confident I was in good hands during the whole course of the tour. The views and stops along the tour were beautiful - including an amazing private white sand beach! I had the opportunity to see some amazing animals along the way as well. The tour guide was kind enough to take some pictures and videos of me during the trip. I even got a change to snorkel along the way in some beautiful still water!

We had an excellent time. We Were picked up from our AIRBNB to our tour which was really nice because we did not have to drive there. The people were really nice specifically our instructor. He made sure we were able to get the full experience. Even going out of his way to bring us to a different location because the water for snorkeling was not clear. Hands down the coolest experiences and they take lots of pictures!!

Idk if I would call this a tour but it was great nevertheless. Jet skis were a blast, the team was friendly even with us being the last trip out for the day. The secluded beach was beautiful we saw Macaws, monkeys, and stingrays. We had plenty of time to ride and have fun.
I would recommend each person get their own Jetski as the waves are big and balance can be tricky!

At first one of the Jetske’s had mechanical problems. After an hour of repair we finally headed out for our adventure. We had A group of first time writers, the tour guide was excellent at guiding them and providing a professionally friendly atmosphere with loads of fun.

Was Allowed the freedom to just ride and enjoyed the time. The one negative is that they have only three jet ski's and they can not accommodate large groups. I enjoyed the fairly new jet ski's and the warm water.

The tour company picked us up from our place exactly on time. Charlie our guide was very helpful with me who never jet skied before. He checked on me every few minutes, and showed us some beautiful sceneries from the water. At the end of the hour and a half, I was much more comfortable and was enjoying the experience a whole lot better. We even saw a baby manta ray jumping in the ocean. I would absolutely do it again.

What an awesome and amazing experience with such a great guide Carlos. He took us out and found a pod of what seemed to be a hundred dolphins. They actually rode with us for a long time. He also took video of us so we where able to just enjoy this experience. He then showed around to the snorkeling area which was beautiful. He took such good care of us we are booking a second trip with him.
He is 10 out of 10.

COMPLETE SCAM!!!! DO NOT PAY WITH CREDIT CARD or they will say you "crashed" and charge it more $$$$
Mar 2021
COMPLETE SCAM! DO NOT PAY BY CREDIT CARD! I was scammed by JacoJetSki Randal Duran Chavarria. TOURISTS, if you are at the Los Suenos Marriott or Los Suenos Herradura, BEWARE!!! I rented 2 jet skis with a tour guide for each of my boys & (paid over $420 total for 1.5 hrs). The tour guide stayed with them for the entire 1.5 hours as I watched from the beach. The boys were never "on their own" and one jet ski had my son's 85 lb. girlfriend on the back. They followed the guide the entire time spaced far apart. The next day I get an email saying that they crashed the jet skis and that I owe another $285. They had already charged my credit card for the extra $285 (Unauthorized) by the time I contacted the bank. I was taking video the whole time I was on the beach watching them. NO ONE CRASHED!!! . . .And anyway, wouldn't the guide stop and check if they were ok if they crashed? Wouldn't the guide have told me on the beach when they returned the jet skis that they had crashed??? Seriously!!!! Such a SCAM!!!!! He said they broke the right handle bar and scratched the side. . . .BS!!! See pix below to prove the jet skis were in perfect condition when returned. He also sent a picture with a tarp pulled back on a different damaged jetski. Obviously if the boys crashed, the jet ski would not be stored away covered by a tarp and therefore your picture was of another broken jetski and NOT the one they boys were on. You would have showed me on the beach when they returned it!!!! (By the way. . .my boys age 18 and 16 have been riding jet skis since they were 8 years old. We live at the beach in the USA and they both have their boating safety certificates.) He said he tried to call my phone number on the form but said my number was wrong. FALSE! My number is correct and I have proof of it from the online receipt. PS- The tour guide drove off like a lunatic after the tour. Maybe he crashed it when he left the beach!!!!! Randal Duran Chavarria and his tour guides are complete scam artists! TOURISTS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! THESE CREDIT CARD SCAMS ARE VERY COMMON IN CR!

Hello Laura,
Thank you for your review. Our tour goes to Playa Fantasia, which is a 4 mile trip around the island. You can not see this beach from Los Suenos. Your boys are experienced riders, as our guide noted. However, we have cameras on our boats and buoys within the bay. We have these cameras to monitor our boats and our jet skis. Upon returning your son did hit the other machine, damaging the mirror, handlebar, and chipping the side of the fibreglass of both machines. We always have credit card holds, because mistakes do happen. We have to have written accounts, video footage and photo evidence as well as a signed waiver for damages. Our machines are damaged like this almost weekly. We charged you according to the waiver that you signed, the damages that your sons did actually have a value of over $800. Randall did not scam you, we are a trusted company with all the agencies within the Jaco and Los Suenos area and it is our right to charge for damages to protect us and our property. We have emailed you the pictures of when the machine was cleaned and out of the water to show damages clearly, but what you have left out is we also sent you pictures of the damages right after the incident, where you can see the machines still in the water. Unfortunately, instead of returning our email to discuss the incident, you decided to hang up on us and our claims are invalid. We understand you're offended, however, we have deposits and waivers in place because, with 25 years of experience on the water, we know that mistakes happen and we have to protect you with safety protocols and our business with waivers and security deposits. We are here if you would like to discuss this further, this review you wrote behind a screen about a real person, and your claims are very offensive and uncalled for. Thank you, Sarah
