# Is the Jet Ski Island Tour from Phuket Worth It? Yes, if you want to drive rather than be driven. The price is per jet ski, not per person, and it buys a morning on your own machine: AA Marina at 09:00, nine island stops, a snorkel at Naka, lunch on Naka Noi, back at 12:45. If what you really want is a long beach day with hotel pickup, a speedboat day costs far less per head. ## Tours and prices in Thai baht - [Jet ski tour: nine islands in four hours](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/jet-ski-tour) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/jet-ski-tour.md) — Four hours, 09:00–12:45 · Adult 7,900 THB · Child 4–9 7,900 THB - [Racha and Coral islands by speedboat](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/racha-coral-islands-speedboat) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/racha-coral-islands-speedboat.md) — Eight to nine hours · Adult 1,400 THB · Child 4–9 1,300 THB - [Krabi tropical paradise: four islands in one day](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/krabi-tropical-paradise) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/krabi-tropical-paradise.md) — One day, 09:00–18:30 · Adult 2,300 THB · Child 4–9 2,000 THB Prices come straight from our booking system. Children under four join free on most trips — each tour page says so. ## What does the price actually cover? Here is the whole list from the tour card. The jet ski for the full four hours. A handling briefing at the pier. Snorkelling gear for the reef stop, lunch on Naka Noi island, a life jacket and insurance. That's it. And what's missing? Hotel transfer, first of all: nobody collects you. Drinks you buy along the way are yours too, and so are photos or video if you want someone to shoot them. The figure in the table is per machine, which is why the adult and child columns show the same number. How many people ride each jet ski is agreed when you book, and the driver has to be 18 or older. The model is confirmed in the chat before you pay. ## Where and when does it start? 09:00 at AA Marina, on the Ao Po side of the island, and you make your own way there. The briefing comes first (starting, steering, stopping, the safety rules), then you head out. You're back at the same pier at 12:45. So the tour fits into a morning, and that is half of what you pay for: the afternoon stays free. No pickup means you plan the drive. Tell us where you're staying when you book and we'll explain the easiest way to the marina. If you're comparing beaches, [Phuket tours by where you stay](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/tours-by-area) shows how the piers sit against each part of the island. ## How does the morning run, stop by stop? Nine stops in under four hours, so no leg is long. Mali island at 09:15, for photos. Naka island at 09:35: you leave the machine and snorkel over coral with reef fish. Monkey Beach at 10:00, where the monkeys are wild. A pass by the yachts at Ao Po Grand Marina at 10:25. Lunch at 10:45 on Naka Noi, on a private beach, with time to rest before you ride again. The second half is lighter. Phrae island at 11:30 is a sandbar out in the sea, the stop the card picks out for photos. Rang Noi at 11:55 is a photo stop as well. Rang Yai at 12:15 is beach time, and the last stretch home runs through the mangroves. It's a quiet way to finish the morning, and a different Phuket from the beaches. ## When is it worth it, and when isn't it? Worth it if driving is the point. You get the machine for four hours, nine places in one morning, and you have the afternoon back. Couples who'd share one jet ski (if the booking allows it for your group) get the most out of the price. So do friends who want a morning that feels like an activity rather than a tour. Not worth it for a family with small children who want sand and shade, or for anyone who would rather sit and watch the sea. Run the numbers for four adults: four tickets on the [Racha and Coral speedboat day](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/racha-coral-islands-speedboat) cost less than one jet ski, and that day includes hotel pickup, two islands and lunch. It's a different thing, though. A speedboat day takes you somewhere. The jet ski is a morning of driving. ## Can I see Naka without the jet ski? Yes. The [Krabi four-island day](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/krabi-tropical-paradise) leaves from the Ao Po pier too and spends about ninety minutes on Naka Yai before it heads for Pakbia, Hong and Lao Lading. Pier call at 09:00, boat at 10:00, back in the evening. Transfer by bus and boat, lunch and park fees are in that price, and a child aged 4 to 9 pays less, which never happens on the jet ski. Both Naka stops and the beaches around them are on [Naka island from Phuket](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/naka-island). If you're still deciding whether to drive at all, [can beginners do the jet ski tour](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/jet-ski-tour-for-beginners) covers the briefing, the minimum age and the sheltered water. ## What about weather, booking and what to bring? If the sea is closed for weather, the tour moves to another date. Wind decides that, not a shower over your hotel; [what happens if a tour is cancelled for weather](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/tour-cancelled-bad-weather) explains who makes the call. To book, send the date, how many of you are coming and how many machines you want. Payment is agreed in the chat after the booking is confirmed. Bring swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a full change of clothes, sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof phone case, plus some cash for drinks. You come back from a jet ski wet through. ## Worth knowing The price is per jet ski and buys one morning, 09:00 to 12:45 from AA Marina, without hotel transfer. For a full day with pickup and lunch at a lower price per person, take a speedboat day instead. ## FAQ ### Is the jet ski island tour worth the money? For a morning of driving, yes: four hours on your own machine, nine stops, a reef snorkel and lunch. For a beach day with hotel pickup, a speedboat trip gives you more per person. ### Is the jet ski tour price for one person or two? It is per jet ski, not per person. How many people ride each machine is agreed when you book, so send the number of riders and we confirm the total. ### How do I get to AA Marina for the jet ski tour? On your own. The tour has no hotel transfer and meets at AA Marina at 09:00. Tell us your hotel when you book and we explain the easiest way there. ### What time does the jet ski tour finish? At 12:45, back at AA Marina. The tour runs from 09:00, so the afternoon is free. ### Is lunch included on the jet ski tour? Yes. Lunch is on Naka Noi island at 10:45, on a private beach. Snorkelling gear for the Naka reef stop is included too. ### What happens to the jet ski tour in bad weather? If the sea is closed for weather, the tour moves to another date. We tell you in the chat. ## Compare with - [Phuket Island Tours: How to Choose the Right Island Day](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/island-tours) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/island-tours.md) - [Can Beginners Do the Jet Ski Island Tour from Phuket?](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/jet-ski-tour-for-beginners) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/jet-ski-tour-for-beginners.md) - [Naka Island from Phuket: Which Tours Stop There](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/naka-island) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/naka-island.md) - [Rang Yai Island from Phuket: What It Is and Which Trips Stop There](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/rang-yai-island) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/guide/rang-yai-island.md) - [Speedboat, Big Boat, Catamaran or Longtail: Phuket Boat Tours](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/speedboat-or-big-boat) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/speedboat-or-big-boat.md) - [What Happens If My Phuket Boat Tour Is Cancelled for Weather?](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/tour-cancelled-bad-weather) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/tour-cancelled-bad-weather.md) - [All tours](https://phukeo.com/en/tours) ## How to book [Ask about dates on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/66619490349?text=Hello!%20I%20found%20you%20on%20phukeo.com%20and%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20%22Jet%20ski%20tour%3A%20worth%20it%3F%22.%20My%20dates%3A%20) --- Canonical: https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/jet-ski-island-tour-worth-it
