If you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta and craving a quick but exhilarating escape on the water, the Yet sky Mismaloya Rental offers an affordable and memorable jet ski experience. For $145 per group (up to 2 people), you’ll get the chance to zip around the small bay of Mismaloya, with options to explore the famous Arches of Mismaloya, Boca, and Colomitos. The tour lasts about 30 minutes, with the option to extend to a full hour, which we highly recommend for making the most of your time.
What sets this experience apart are the stunning views of Puerto Vallarta’s coast, combined with the thrill of riding a jet ski. The personalized nature of this private tour means fewer crowds and more space for you to enjoy the scenery and the adrenaline.
Two small considerations are worth noting: the $145 price is a flat fee for up to two people, which makes sense for couples or small groups, but may seem steep for solo travelers or larger parties. Also, while the tour is suitable for most travelers over 7 years old, kids should be comfortable with water and riding motorized equipment.
This tour suits adventure lovers, families with older children, and anyone wanting a quick dose of excitement combined with gorgeous vistas. If you love the idea of feeling the wind and seeing the coast from a different perspective, this could be just the ticket.

Location and Setting: Why Mismaloya?
The tour begins at the small bay of Mismaloya, a charming spot just about 5 kilometers from Puerto Vallarta. Known for its picturesque scenery, this area is famous for its backdrop of lush mountains and clear blue waters, making it a natural playground for water sports. The starting point at Paseo del río 121 is easy to find, which helps reduce any stress in the initial stages.
The Itinerary: What You’ll Experience
Once you arrive, a guide will greet you, fit you with a life jacket, and give you some simple instructions on operating the jet ski. The initial briefing is straightforward, designed to build confidence quickly, even if you’re new to jet skiing.
From there, you’ll cruise around the bay, with two main options depending on your preference and time. The north side offers a view of the Arches of Mismaloya, a cluster of three islands that create a striking natural spectacle, perfect for photos and awe. Alternatively, you could head south toward Boca and Colomitos, the latter being a famous hidden beach known for its serenity and postcard-worthy scenery.
Many reviews highlight the stunning vistas as the highlight—“We loved the way the mountains and water looked together,” one traveler remarked. The ride itself is considered “an extraordinary adventure,” especially when you’re able to carve through the water at speed.
What’s Included: Safety and Convenience
For the $145 fee, you’re provided with life jackets, a jet ski, and basic operating instructions. The inclusion of safety gear is reassuring, especially for those unfamiliar with jet skis. The instructions are kept simple, ensuring even beginners can enjoy the rush without worry.
Meeting Point and Logistics
The meeting point at Paseo del río is accessible and well-signed. The activity is private, meaning only your group participates, allowing for a more relaxed and personalized experience. It ends back at the same spot, making logistics straightforward.
Duration and Value
While the standard 30-minute ride offers a quick thrill, most reviewers recommend opting for the full hour if possible. The extra 30 minutes give you more time to explore different sides of the bay, capture better photos, and enjoy the ride at a more relaxed pace.

The stunning views of the mountains, islands, and beaches make this tour a memorable highlight, especially when shared with a friend or partner.
The price point is reasonable considering the exclusivity and the breathtaking sights you’ll enjoy — just be sure to allocate enough time (preferably a full hour) if you want to explore all the options comfortably.
This tour will not suit travelers looking for a leisurely or lengthy excursion, nor those who prefer guided group tours with more structure. Instead, it stands out as a quick, exciting escape for those who love adventure and spectacular scenery.
