The engine thumps under your palms as the bay opens up — blue glass giving way to emerald coves, cliffs rising like carved amphitheaters. On this two-hour jet ski tour from the Opequimar marina, you'll cut past the Malecón skyline, skim the pier at Los Muertos, and head south where rock arches and hidden beaches break the coastline.

The engine thumps under your palms as the bay opens up — blue glass giving way to emerald coves, cliffs rising like carved amphitheaters. On this two-hour jet ski tour from the Opequimar marina, you'll cut past the Malecón skyline, skim the pier at Los Muertos, and head south where rock arches and hidden beaches break the coastline.
The shoreline here is shaped by volcanic uplift and coastal erosion; the jagged outcrops at Los Arcos are basalt formations that frame small marine channels and attract pelicans, frigatebirds, and a patchwork of reef life. Mismaloya and Playa Colomitos were once quiet fishing hamlets and gained international attention when filmmakers used the area in mid-20th-century productions — today the coves are valued both for tourism and marine protection.
Expect a compact itinerary: a quick pass by the Malecón, a close approach to Los Arcos (short stop or photo break), then a longer stop at Playa Colomitos for swimming and snorkeling (snorkel gear is included). Groups are kept small for personalized instruction and safety briefings; the water conditions can shift with wind, so guides set the route day-of.
Practical notes: arrive 15–30 minutes early at the Opequimar dock, wear a swimsuit under quick-dry layers, and use reef-safe sunscreen. Hydrate before you go — salt, sun and speed make time feel shorter. For first-timers the guides will cover throttle, turns and safety; for experienced riders the coastline offers quick runs and sheltered coves to explore. Respect the protected areas: avoid reefs, pack out trash, and follow your guide’s route to protect nesting birds and fish.
Yes — snorkel gear is included for the stop at Playa Colomitos; fit and hygiene are covered in the pre-ride briefing.
Operators typically ask for guest weights and will advise based on local safety limits; children may be allowed with a guardian and following local rules.
Meet at the Opequimar Marina facilities; arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in, show your ticket and attend the safety briefing.
