About this experience
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure on the Pacific waters of the Gulf of Papagayo with your Private Jet Ski Tour by Costa India. Ride past dramatic coastal scenery, hidden coves, and pristine beaches only accessible by water. Enjoy a 10-minute stop at a beautiful beach to relax, swim, or take photos before continuing the journey.
Depending on the tide, the experience changes: at low tide you can step off your jet ski to explore shallow coves and unique rock formations, while high tide lets you glide through calm channels and mangrove-like passages for a scenic coastal view.
Along the way, watch for dolphins, sea turtles, and rays in the clear waters. With your own private guide, the pace and route are customized to your style, making this the perfect mix of adrenaline, nature, and unforgettable coastal beauty with Costa India.
