Santorini is famous for views. This one comes with speed and water-splashing thrills. You get a tight mix of jet skiing, a full hour of kayak or SUP, and wave tubing with safety gear and an English-speaking guide team. It’s a practical way to get real time on the water without turning your day into a logistics puzzle.

Two things I really like: the schedule is action-heavy (you actually do stuff), and the included beach setup is smart—sun beds and umbrellas plus a shower and lockers so you’re not scrambling after you’re soaked. One thing to consider: the jet ski and tubing segments are short by design (20 minutes and 10 minutes), so you should be booking this if you want variety more than a long continuous ride.

Key highlights you’ll feel fast

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Key highlights you’ll feel fast

  • 20 minutes jet ski time across Santorini’s turquoise water, with classic windy-sea adrenaline
  • 1-hour kayak or SUP that’s self-guided, so you set the pace and chase the sights
  • 10 minutes wave tubing with experienced guides and a safety-first setup
  • Perivolos-area meeting point near the bus stop and right by Mototi Beach Lounge for easy access
  • Beach extras included: free sun beds and umbrellas, plus a shower, lockers, and wetsuit on request

Perissa and Perivolos: where your water day starts

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Perissa and Perivolos: where your water day starts
Even if you’re aiming for Perissa beach vibes, this package is anchored in the Perivolos area. The meeting base is just 50 meters from the PERIVOLOS bus stop, so you can get there with about a one-minute walk. That small detail matters. On islands, “getting there” can eat hours. Here, you’re already set up to make the most of your limited daylight.

You also meet next to Mototi Beach Lounge, which is useful when you’re trying to orient yourself in a foreign place. If you’re the type who likes to show up, check in, and be moving within minutes, this works well.

Meeting at the Rxtreme base and getting geared up

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Meeting at the Rxtreme base and getting geared up
You’ll start and finish back at the Rxtreme Watersports base. That keeps the whole experience simple: no long transfer, no “you’ll be dropped off somewhere else” surprises. It’s also a good sign that they’ve kept the flow tight—water sports are easier when you’re not constantly shuttling between points.

What you’ll have waiting (or sorted quickly) includes the basics that make a difference in comfort:

  • Life jackets (provided)
  • Safety lockers (for your stuff while you’re in the water)
  • Shower (so you can rinse off without hunting for facilities)
  • Free sun beds and umbrellas (so you can dry off like a normal person, not a frantic tourist)

If you’re traveling with luggage or you’re wearing anything you don’t want to soak, lockers are a quiet life upgrade.

Jet ski for 20 minutes: the fastest thrill in the package

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Jet ski for 20 minutes: the fastest thrill in the package
This is the headline moment for many people, and it’s easy to see why. You hop aboard a jet ski for a 20-minute ride, speeding across Santorini’s turquoise waters. The product description leans into the wind-in-your-face feeling and island views, and that’s exactly the kind of payoff jet skis are good at: quick adrenaline, lots of sea exposure, and the chance to feel like you’re actually moving through the landscape instead of watching it from shore.

What makes it good for your day

  • Short and punchy: 20 minutes is long enough to feel the thrill, but not so long that you lose your whole half-day to recovery and re-rinse time.
  • Big scenery payoff: jet ski speed tends to make the coast feel bigger, not just prettier.
  • Beginner-friendly pacing: you’re not doing a technical sport for hours. You’re doing a ride.

More paddling along the coast

What to watch out for

Because it’s only 20 minutes, set your expectations accordingly. This is not a multi-hour jet ski tour. If you’re chasing “ride for hours and forget the rest,” you may want a longer jet-ski-focused option instead. For most people, though, the time balance works: you get the rush, then you switch to slower, calmer water time.

Kayak or SUP for one hour: self-guided, calmer, and more personal

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Kayak or SUP for one hour: self-guided, calmer, and more personal
After the high-speed moment, the package shifts gears. You get a 1-hour kayak or SUP rental, self-guided. That self-guided part is important. With kayaking or standing on a paddleboard, you’re not just going from point A to point B—you’re choosing where to look and how long to linger.

This hour is framed as a chance to explore at your own pace, with the chance to enjoy surrounding landscapes and volcanic formations. Even if you don’t know the geology in detail, the practical value is this: you’ll see Santorini from a water angle that most people never get.

Kayak vs SUP: pick based on how you feel on the day

You can choose between:

  • Kayak for stability and seated comfort
  • SUP for the challenge and the fun of standing

If you’re less confident on moving water or you want an easy cruise, choose the kayak. If you want the more active balance test, go SUP. Either way, you control the pace, which makes the hour feel longer than it sounds.

The main drawback of self-guided

Self-guided also means you’re responsible for your comfort level. If you’re new to paddle sports, don’t try to cover huge distances. Keep it simple: paddle, look, stop when you want photos, and return within your comfort zone.

Wave tubing for 10 minutes: short, loud, and guide-supported

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Wave tubing for 10 minutes: short, loud, and guide-supported
Then comes the wave tubing segment. You get 10 heart-pumping minutes riding the surge, with guides there for safety. Tubing is one of those activities that seems silly on land and then turns into full-on laughter once you’re in it. And because it’s only 10 minutes, it’s usually the kind of thrill you can handle even if you’re not a die-hard adrenaline fan.

Why tubing fits into this package

Tubing is the activity that gives you that “group trip energy,” even if the rest of your day is calm. Jet ski is movement with control. Kayak/SUP is exploration at your pace. Tubing is the fun chaos moment.

What you should consider

Ten minutes is ten minutes. If you’re the type who wants the biggest time share for the most intense activity, you might feel like you wanted more. But the tradeoff is you’re not exhausted for the entire day—you’re getting the fun hit, then you move on with your day still intact.

What’s included (and what that saves you)

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - What’s included (and what that saves you)
This package isn’t just “activities only.” The extras are the kind you notice when you’ve already had a wet day.

Included items worth your attention:

  • Life jackets for all water activities
  • Wet suit on request if you want extra protection
  • Safety lockers to keep your phone/keys secured
  • Shower for rinse-off
  • Free parking (huge if you’re driving or renting a scooter)
  • Free sun beds and umbrellas so you can relax after

There’s also a small but useful system benefit: you skip the ticket line. That reduces waiting time, and waiting is the enemy of good water days.

English instruction, private group, and a simple experience flow

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - English instruction, private group, and a simple experience flow
This is set up as an English experience with an instructor and English audio guide included. Even if your Greek is limited (mine is usually panic-level), you’ll still be able to understand what to do and how to stay safe.

It’s also a private group. The pricing is $192 per group up to 2, which lines up with the idea that you and a travel buddy get a more controlled, less chaotic experience than you’d get with a huge crowd.

That matters especially for watersports. You want clear communication, and you want the staff to be able to guide you quickly and correctly.

Price and value: $192 for two and three different thrills

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Price and value: $192 for two and three different thrills
Let’s talk value in plain terms. This package is priced at $192 per group for up to 2 people. If you break it down by experience, you’re getting:

  • Jet ski: 20 minutes
  • Kayak or SUP: 1 hour
  • Waves tubing: 10 minutes

For two people, it can feel like a lot until you compare it to booking activities one-by-one and then adding the cost of basics like life jackets, lockers, and the beach infrastructure. Here, those practical items are included.

Also, the free sun beds and umbrellas and shower aren’t “small stuff.” They’re the difference between enjoying the day and spending your time looking for facilities afterward.

Is it the cheapest way to do Santorini watersports? Probably not. But it’s a strong choice when you want a balanced day: one fast thrill, one slower exploration block, and one playful adrenaline moment.

Timing, where you stand in the day, and how long you have to use it

Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package - Timing, where you stand in the day, and how long you have to use it
Your purchase is valid for 7 days from first activation. That’s useful if your plans might shift with weather or sea conditions. It also reduces the pressure of fitting everything into one tight schedule.

The exact order of activities can vary in practice, but conceptually it’s designed as a sequence: jet ski first for adrenaline, kayak/SUP for discovery, tubing for the final adrenaline wave.

Because the package includes a shower, lockers, and beach seating, it’s built for you to linger a bit afterward too. You’re not just done the moment you finish the last activity.

What to bring so you don’t regret it later

You’ll want to pack the basics they list:

  • Swimwear
  • Sunglasses
  • Hat
  • Towel
  • Sunscreen

If you tend to forget sunscreen, this is your sign to not “wing it.” Sun + reflective water is a fast way to feel cooked later.

If you think you’ll want the extra layer, ask about the wet suit on request. Even in warmer months, water can feel cooler than the beach air.

Who this package is best for (and who should pass)

This is a good match if you want variety without turning the day into a travel project.

You’ll likely love it if you:

  • Want three different water activities in one package
  • Prefer a private group feel (even for just two people)
  • Like the idea of self-guided kayaking or SUP while still getting guided safety support for tubing
  • Value included basics like beach seating, lockers, and a shower

You should think twice if you:

  • Are pregnant (it is not suitable for pregnant women)
  • Want one long, continuous jet ski session rather than a shorter burst

Quick verdict: should you book this Santorini jet ski, tubing, and kayaking package?

If your goal is a fun, efficient Santorini water day, this package is an easy yes. The biggest strengths are the mix: jet ski for speed, kayak/SUP for exploration, and wave tubing for laughs, all tied together with practical extras like parking, lockers, showers, and free beach seating. The format also fits well for couples or two-person trips at $192 per group.

One reason to hesitate: the most intense rides are brief by design (20 minutes jet ski, 10 minutes tubing). If you want long durations, you might feel slightly “done too fast.” But if you want maximum variety and good logistics in Perissa/Perivolos, this is a solid value play.

Also, it comes with decent community confidence: it holds a 4.2 rating from 13 ratings based on the info provided.
