The weather on February 15th is a mix of partly cloudy skies and rain, with temperatures ranging from 72.4°F to 78.5°F. Despite the 48.4% chance of rain, the mild temperatures and occasional clear skies make it a perfect day for this aquatic adventure.

“Very fun experience - We had Jay for our tour and his service was brilliant. He was friendly, easygoing, and very patient in teaching us how to drive the Jetski. Would 100% recommend this company and also this particular tour. 2.5 hours may sound long but it is so much fun that it’s gone before you know it and you still want to keep going.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-20
