Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Extreme Water Sports Santorini · Bookable on GetYourGuide
The best part of this Perissa package is the mix of three very different water activities in one booking. You get a fast 20-minute jet ski ride, a calmer hour on a kayak or SUP, then 10 minutes of wave tubing. It gives you both speed and time to enjoy Santorini’s coast at your own pace.
I like the seven-day activation window, since you do not have to cram every activity into one hot afternoon. I also like the practical extras: free parking, lockers, showers, sun beds, umbrellas, and a wetsuit on request. The main consideration is price. At $192 per private group of up to two, it makes better sense for a pair than for one person alone.

Key points to know before booking

- Three water activities in one package: A 20-minute jet ski ride, one hour of kayak or SUP use, and 10 minutes of wave tubing.
- Use the package across seven days: The clock starts with your first activation, giving you more flexibility than a single-session booking.
- Easy Perivolos access: The base is 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop, beside Mototi Beach Lounge.
- Designed for two: The $192 price covers a private group of up to two people, so the value improves when shared.
- Useful beach facilities included: Lockers, showers, parking, sun beds, umbrellas, life jackets, and wetsuits on request.
- Not suitable during pregnancy: You should also be ready for active water sports, sun exposure, and repeated time in the sea.
Three ways to enjoy the Santorini coast

This is not a sightseeing cruise with a few minutes of activity added on. It is a compact water-sports package built around action. You spend part of your time controlling a jet ski, part paddling under your own power, and part holding on while a boat pulls a tube through the waves.
That variety matters. A jet ski gives you speed and noise. A kayak or stand-up paddleboard gives you a quieter hour. The tube is short but intense, with 10 minutes of laughter, spray, and bracing yourself against the pull of the water.
The package is based at Perivolos, on Santorini’s long black-sand beach. The supplied details do not promise a particular route, beach stop, or volcanic formation, so I would not book this expecting a set sightseeing circuit. Think of it as a flexible recreation package with views of the island as your setting.

Finding the base near Perivolos bus stop

Getting to the meeting point is refreshingly simple. Extreme Water Sports Santorini is only 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop, about a one-minute walk. You will find it next to Mototi Beach Lounge, which gives you a useful landmark if you are arriving by bus or taxi.
The activity begins and ends at this same base. That saves you from dealing with a separate beach departure and return point, and it makes the day easier to organize around other plans. You can leave belongings in the available safety lockers rather than trying to keep a phone or wallet beside you in the water.
Free parking is another practical benefit if you have a rental car. Santorini roads and parking can take patience, so having a stated parking option at the water-sports base is useful. Still, arrive with enough time to park, change, and listen to instructions rather than cutting it close.
The listed language is English, and an English audio guide is included. No individual instructor names are provided, so you should not expect a named guide or a personal tour leader. The focus is on safety instruction and equipment use.
The 20-minute jet ski ride

The jet ski is the quickest burst of the day. You get 20 minutes on the water, enough time to feel the machine’s power and enjoy open views of Santorini’s coast, but not enough for a long coastal expedition.
I like this length for first-time riders who want the thrill without committing to a much longer session. It also leaves room for the other two activities. You can expect the jet ski segment to feel more like a focused ride than a full island tour.
Safety comes first here. Life jackets are included, and the activity is run with experienced staff. You should listen closely to the operating instructions, especially if you have never handled a jet ski. Bring sunglasses only if they fit securely, since loose items can be lost in the water. A hat is useful on the beach but may be awkward during the faster activities.
The available information does not specify the exact riding format, speed limits, age rules, or if two people share one jet ski. Ask those questions before booking if they affect your decision. The price is for a private group of up to two, but that does not automatically explain how the jet ski seating or driving arrangements work.
One hour with a kayak or SUP

The hour-long kayak or SUP session is the most relaxed part of the package. You choose between a kayak and a stand-up paddleboard, then spend time moving at your own pace.
A kayak is the easier pick if you want a seated position and a steadier feel. A SUP gives you a more active challenge and a higher view over the water, but it also asks more from your balance. The package lets you choose the style that suits you, though the supplied details do not confirm if you can switch between both during the hour.
This is also the section where you have the most freedom. You are not limited to a brief ride behind a boat. You can paddle, pause, and take in the coast at a slower rhythm. Santorini’s volcanic shore gives this part a different mood from the jet ski and tube.
Do not read too much into the phrase hidden gems, however. No exact coves, rock formations, or route are named. You might find interesting volcanic shapes and quiet views along the coast, but the precise area you can reach depends on local conditions and the instructions given at the base.
Bring swimwear and a towel. You may also want sunscreen that you can reapply after getting wet. A wetsuit is available on request, which can be helpful if the water feels cool or you plan to spend a long time in it.
Ten minutes of wave tubing

Wave tubing is the shortest activity, but it may feel like the most physical. You hold on to an inflatable tube while it is pulled through the waves, with 10 minutes set aside for the ride.
That time is enough to create a sharp burst of excitement without taking over the whole package. The tube segment also works well at the end, when you have already had a chance to learn the beach setup and get comfortable with the water.
You should expect spray, jolts, and plenty of gripping. Life jackets are included, and experienced guides oversee the activity. Still, wave tubing is not passive. If you have shoulder, back, or neck concerns, ask the provider about suitability before you commit. Pregnancy is specifically listed as a reason not to take part.
The exact tube setup is not explained. Ask if the tube carries one or two people and how the ride is arranged for your private group. That small detail can matter if one person wants a milder experience while the other wants more action.

Why the seven-day validity changes the value

The package is valid for seven days from first activation. That is one of its best practical features. You may be able to spread the jet ski, kayak or SUP, and tubing sessions over separate days instead of trying to do all three back to back.
The wording matters: the seven-day period begins with the first activation. You should confirm how the provider schedules each activity and if advance time reservations are needed. The data provided does not state the daily operating hours or whether all three sessions must be reserved at once.
Spreading the activities can improve your experience in Santorini’s strong sun. A jet ski ride and tube session can be energetic, while an hour on a paddleboard may be tiring in a different way. Breaking them up gives you more control over your pace and leaves time for the beach.
If you are visiting for only one day, the package can still work, but you need to ask about timing. The total advertised activity time is 90 minutes: 20 minutes of jet skiing, 60 minutes of kayak or SUP use, and 10 minutes of tubing. That total does not include check-in, safety instruction, changing, or possible waits between sessions.
What the $192 price really buys

The price is $192 per private group of up to two people. For two people using the package, that works out to $96 each, assuming both take part in the activities. For one person, the same group price makes the package noticeably less attractive.
Value comes from the combination. You are not paying for just a short jet ski session. The package also includes an hour of paddle equipment and a tube ride, plus life jackets, lockers, showers, parking, sun beds, and umbrellas.
Those beach facilities have real value in Santorini, where you may otherwise pay separately for comfort and storage. Free sun beds and umbrellas also make it easier to treat the base as part of your beach day rather than rushing away after the water activities.
The price is less compelling if you want only one activity. Someone interested in jet skiing alone may prefer to compare the cost of a single ride elsewhere. This package suits you best if you genuinely want all three formats and can share the price with another person.
The rating supplied for the experience is 4.2 out of 5 from 13 reviews. That is a positive but not flawless result. I would take it as a sign that the package has broad appeal, while still checking the booking details that are not spelled out, especially activity scheduling and the exact jet ski arrangement.
Equipment, comfort, and what to pack

The base provides the main equipment: jet ski, kayak, tube, and life jackets. A wetsuit is available on request. You also have access to safety lockers and a shower, which makes the practical side of a wet afternoon much easier.
Pack sunglasses, a hat, swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen. A waterproof phone case could be useful, but it is not listed as included, so do not count on the provider supplying one. Keep valuables in the safety locker and use the shower after the activities before heading back into town.
Sun beds and umbrellas are free. This is helpful if your party wants to rest between sessions or if one person wants beach time while the other is active. The package details do not promise food, drinks, hotel pickup, or changing rooms, so plan around the listed facilities only.
The activities are not suitable for pregnant women. If you have any other health concern that could affect fast rides, towing, balancing, or repeated exposure to waves, check with the provider before paying.
Who will enjoy this package most

I would recommend this to two people who want a lively beach day and do not want to choose just one activity. Couples, friends, and active families who meet the provider’s participation rules may find the mix appealing.
It is especially useful if you are staying near Perissa or Perivolos and want a simple base with parking and beach facilities. The nearby bus stop also helps if you are not driving.
This is less suitable if you prefer a quiet coastal tour, a guided history experience, or a long sightseeing cruise. It is also not ideal if you dislike speed, being towed, or balancing on a board. The kayak option gives you a calmer choice, but the package still includes a jet ski ride and wave tubing.
Because the booking is private for up to two people, you get a more personal setup than a large shared group. At the same time, private group does not mean a private sightseeing guide. The emphasis is on your own activity time, with English instruction and safety support.
Booking details worth confirming first
You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Santorini plans are still shifting.
Before booking, I would confirm four practical points:
- How the three activities are scheduled within the seven-day validity period
- Whether the jet ski is shared or individually operated
- How many people can use the tube at once
- The local meeting time and any age or operating requirements
These questions are not answered in the supplied information, and they can change how you judge the package. The meeting point itself is clear, but the operating details deserve a quick check.
Should you book this Santorini water-sports package?
Book it if you are two people who want a flexible, active beach experience and plan to use all three activities. The seven-day validity, free beach facilities, and easy location near the Perivolos bus stop make it more useful than a one-shot thrill ride.
Think twice if you are traveling alone, want only jet skiing, or prefer sightseeing over physical activity. At $192 per group, the price works best when shared and when you value the kayak or SUP hour, tubing session, and beach amenities as well as the jet ski.
My practical call: choose it for variety and flexibility, then confirm the schedule and equipment arrangements before payment. That small check will tell you if this is a well-priced Santorini beach day for your plans or simply more water action than you need.
