Playa Tortugas is on the Caribbean side of the Hotel Zone at Km 6.5 of Kukulcán Boulevard. You walk onto the beach and the stand is on the sand; the operator warns that street vendors outside the beach have nothing to do with it. The jet ski is pushed off into the shallows and you climb on there.
Is it per person or per jet ski?#
Per jet ski. The booking page shows it per traveller — 1,400 MXN riding alone, 700 MXN each when two share — but either way one machine for thirty minutes costs 1,400 MXN. The permit and eco fee is the part that follows the head: 200 MXN, about $10, for every person. Two people on two jet skis pay 3,200 MXN.
Who can drive, and is a licence needed?#
The driver must be 18 and show a valid ID, and the operator's price page says no driving licence is needed. Minors may ride along if an adult signs the waiver for them. Two riders together must stay under 400 lb, about 181 kg.
What is included, and what costs extra?#
Fuel, safety gear, insurance for the passenger, a riding briefing and a guide are in the price. The permit and eco fee is not. Photos and video are sold at the end by a separate concessionaire, which the operator says it does not manage, and a hotel transfer is an optional extra.
