Pack a towel and waterproof bag for your valuables, swimwear, a change of clothes (you may get wet during spins and slides), sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat (the Broadwater sun is strong).
Wear flat, secure footwear (sandals or sneakers are best; avoid loose flip-flops).
Please bring your ID and booking confirmation.
Safety is a priority, so this experience is restricted for children aged under 4 years.
Guests are not allowed to take anything on board for two reasons: to ensure everyone can hold on at all times and to prevent any items from accidentally falling and causing injury.
No large bags or bulky gear; storage is limited.
Please don’t bring non-waterproof electronics unprotected (you will splash).
Guests must follow the skipper’s instructions at all times — life jackets are mandatory.
For guests in wheelchairs, assistance is available to help them onto the boat; however, they must be able to use their hands to hold on.
Those who are pregnant or have back, neck, heart conditions, or previous injuries are strongly advised not to ride the jet boat.
Guests are advised to be in good health and without any medical conditions that could be worsened by jetboating activities. If unsure, please consult a doctor.
Please be aware that this tour requires a minimum number of participants to proceed.
If it is raining, the ride will still operate. Real-time weather radars are closely monitored, and if there is any risk of dangerous weather, trips may be delayed or canceled.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time to allow check-in, briefing, and gearing up.
Note: you’ll be seated in seating positions determined by the skipper (weight/balance is considered for safety).
Cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Variant-specific cancellation policies may apply.
