Frequently asked questions

How intense is jet skiing around the Cousteau Reserve?
You control the intensity. At full throttle on open water, a jet ski can hit speeds that make the ride genuinely physical. Stick close to the reserve for a slower, more scenic pass, or push it on the open stretches for the real rush.
Do I need prior jet ski experience?
No. Iron Jet explicitly welcomes everybody, regardless of experience level. A briefing is standard before you head out on the water.
What is the most intense moment of the tour?
Accelerating out of Malendure Bay onto open water is where the adrenaline spikes. The contrast between the calm reef zone and the exposed Atlantic swells makes the speed feel sharper.
Is the Cousteau Reserve protected, and does that affect the ride?
Yes, the Cousteau Reserve is a marine protected area. Speeds are restricted near the reef to preserve the ecosystem, so the high-intensity stretches happen on the open water sections of the route.
