Plus, there’s the peace of mind knowing your safety is covered with provided equipment and a professional guide keeping an eye on you.
One thing to consider, though, is the short duration—a quick 30-minute ride—so if you’re looking for a longer water adventure, this might feel a bit brief.

Arrival at Nusa Dua Beach
Once at Nusa Dua’s shoreline, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff who will provide a safety briefing and instructions on how to operate your jet ski. We’ve seen reviews mention that the instructions are a few minutes long, but clear enough for first-timers to feel comfortable. It’s worth paying close attention here, as this will boost your confidence during the ride.
Preparing for the Ride
Before heading out, you’ll be fitted with a life jacket—a standard safety measure—and be given a quick rundown on how to handle the jet ski. As one reviewer put it, “The staff explained everything clearly, so I felt safe and ready to go.” The professional guides pair safety with a friendly attitude, making the process less intimidating for newcomers.
The Experience: Driving and Views
Once on your jet ski, the thrill begins. You’re free to go at your own pace, though the guides keep an eye on you from nearby. Expect to speed along the coastline, with the wind in your hair and the sea breeze on your face. The scenery is quite impressive: golden beaches, lush greenery, and the occasional luxury resort forming the backdrop for your water escapade.
A reviewer mentioned, “It felt like I was in a James Bond movie, zipping past the shoreline with no guide in front—just me and the ocean.” This freedom to carve your own path is what makes this experience stand out.
Post-Ride Comforts
After your 30-minute blast, you’ll return to the starting point, where you can rinse off, store your belongings in a locker, and relax. The tour includes all equipment and insurance but doesn’t cover personal expenses, so think about bringing extra cash for souvenirs or snacks.
