El Morro Jet Ski Tour: What You'll See

See the 16th-century Castillo San Felipe del Morro the way few visitors ever do: from the water, on a Yamaha WaveRunner. Our guided Old San Juan jet ski tour launches from San Juan Bay Marina, just 5 minutes from the San Juan cruise port and Old San Juan (perfect for a cruise port day), and takes you across San Juan Harbor, past the Port of San Juan and the cruise ship terminals, along the Old San Juan waterfront and its historic city walls to El Morro, with views of the northern coastline.

A WOW guide leads every group, points out a few facts about El Morro and Old San Juan along the way, and keeps everyone safe on the water. It is a ride, not a narrated history tour. No experience needed: you get a full safety briefing before you ride. The tour runs 45 minutes. Ask about our sunset jet ski tours from the marina.
