Is the Jet Ski Tour at Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach Worth It? Our Honest Review

When we booked our stay at Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach, we knew we wanted to spend as much time on the water as possible. While relaxing on the beach and floating in the pool were high on our list, one adventure stood out above the rest—the guided jet ski tour.

After researching several companies, we booked our tour with Adventure Water Sports, conveniently located right on the beach at the resort. The answer to the question everyone asks?

Absolutely. It was one of the highlights of our entire vacation.

The Convenience Couldn’t Be Better

One of the biggest reasons we chose Adventure Water Sports, Inc was the location.

Their rental kiosk is located right at Margaritaville Beach Resort, so there was no need to drive anywhere or arrange transportation. We simply walked from our room to the beach, checked in, completed the safety briefing, and were ready to ride. The company offers jet ski rentals as well as guided dolphin tours directly from the resort.

Vacation doesn’t get much easier than that.

Great for First-Timers and Experienced Riders

If you’ve never ridden a jet ski before, don’t let that stop you.

The staff explained everything clearly before we headed out. They covered safety procedures, how to operate the jet skis, and what to expect during the tour. Within minutes, we felt comfortable and confident on the water.

If you’re already experienced, you’ll appreciate having plenty of opportunities to open up the throttle while still following your guide through some beautiful scenery.

The Scenery Is Incredible

Seeing Fort Myers Beach from the water gives you a completely different perspective.

We cruised through beautiful blue water with amazing views of the coastline, waterfront homes, boats, and mangrove-lined areas. Depending on the day and conditions, you may even spot dolphins, seabirds, or other marine wildlife during the ride. Wildlife sightings are common, though never guaranteed, and are one of the reasons these tours are so popular.

Even without wildlife, the views alone made the experience worthwhile.

A Hit with Teens

If you’re traveling with teenagers like we were, this activity is a winner.

Finding something that excites teens and adults equally isn’t always easy, but this checked every box.

There was plenty of excitement, lots of laughs, and just enough adventure to make it memorable without feeling intimidating. By the end of the tour, everyone agreed it was one of the best experiences of the trip.

Safety Comes First

One thing we appreciated was the professionalism of the crew.

The guides emphasized safety from the beginning and made sure everyone understood the rules before leaving shore. Throughout the tour they kept the group together while still allowing enough freedom to enjoy the ride.

That balance made the experience enjoyable for both beginners and more confident riders.

Tips Before You Go

Here are a few things we’d recommend:

• Make reservations in advance, especially during busy travel seasons.
• Wear sunscreen—you’ll be out on the open water with plenty of Florida sunshine.
• Bring sunglasses with a secure strap if you plan to wear them.
• Expect to get wet, so wear clothing that dries quickly.
• If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, Florida law requires a boating safety certificate to operate a personal watercraft. Check with the rental company ahead of time so you’re prepared.

Is It Worth the Money?

Without question—yes.

When we look back on our Fort Myers Beach vacation, this is one of the first experiences we talk about. It combined adventure, beautiful scenery, and quality family time into one unforgettable outing.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, traveling with teenagers, or simply looking to add a little excitement to your beach vacation, a jet ski tour is an experience you’ll remember long after your tan has faded.
