1 Hour JetSki Hire

$229

The 1 hour jet ski hire gives you more time to explore and really settle into the ride. It’s a great balance between excitement and freedom, allowing you to cover more water while still staying close to shore.

Ideal for riders who want more than a quick blast but don’t need a full adventure.

1 Hour JetSki Hire

For a quick boost of adrenaline with a bit of extra flexibility, this is our most popular option!

This hire duration is great whether you are a beginner and wanting to learn how to safely operate a jet ski while building your confidence or whether you are already confident and wanting to give it a blast! This option gives you enough time to blast around the bays or explore a bit of coastline but not enough time to explore the Islands.

Option to hire up to four jet skis available on the checkout.

Our Yamaha VX Deluxe Jetskis can seat up to three people (max. 190kg) and we also have some pretty cool extras that you can add on to your jet ski hire which will provide hours of fun on the water!

The hirer must be 16 years and older to hire a jet ski and all drivers must be 16 years and older to operate a jet ski, however there is no age limit for passengers.

Enjoy an Exciting Time on the Water!

 

What You Can Do in 1 Hour

With a full hour on the water, you can:

  • Cruise further along the Whangaparāoa Peninsula

  • Spend more time riding at your own pace

  • Mix fast riding with relaxed scenic cruising

  • Explore sheltered areas depending on conditions

  • Switch between drivers
  • Take the family out on a sea biscuit

This option offers flexibility without pressure.

      Can not rate this experience highly enough, views were amazing, Eugen was immensely accommodating. Definitely not one of those places that just constricts you and tails you the entire time. If you are looking for sick views and a blast, this is the place to do it.

      First time wasn’t enough, had to come a second time within 3 days. Couldn’t get enough of it. Definitely recommend it for adrenaline seekers.

      We’re just on our way home from an hour on the water with Hibiscus JetSki Hire and had the best time! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they rescheduled us to the following day due to weather conditions and what a great call that was. We barely even got wet. Would thoroughly recommend 🔥
