Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package

Santorini’s sea is the main event here: this package puts you on a jet ski, a kayak or paddleboard, and a towable tube, with the volcanic island as your backdrop. It combines three very different ways to get out on the water, from a quick burst of speed to a slower hour under your own power.

I like the mix of activities and the flexibility to use the package over seven days from your first activation. I also like the practical beach setup: lockers, showers, sun beds, umbrellas, and parking are included, so you have a place to reset between swims and rides.

The main consideration is that the headline package adds up to 90 minutes of activity, not a full day of continuous watersports. You’ll also need to plan around the conditions and any instructions from the English-speaking staff, especially for the jet ski and tube.

Key points before you book

• Three ways to get on the water: The package includes a 20-minute jet ski ride, one hour with a kayak or SUP, and a 10-minute wave-tubing session.
• Use it across seven days: The validity period begins with your first activity, giving you room to fit the sessions around your stay.
• A beach base with useful extras: Lockers, showers, sun beds, umbrellas, and free parking are included.
• Easy to find by bus: The Rxtreme Watersports base is about 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop and beside Mototi Beach Lounge.
• Price is per group: The listed price is $192 for a group of up to two, not $192 per person.
• Not suitable during pregnancy: The activity information specifically excludes pregnant women.

Three water sports, one compact package

This is a good fit if you want more than a single beach activity but don’t want to commit to a full-day excursion. In one package, you get a fast ride, a self-guided paddle, and a short tow behind a boat. Each activity asks something different of you, so the variety is the point.

The listed durations total 90 minutes: 20 minutes on the jet ski, 60 minutes with a kayak or SUP, and 10 minutes tubing. Those are activity times, not a promise that the entire visit will take only 90 minutes. Check-in, safety guidance, changing, and breaks can add time, although exact timings for those steps are not specified.

The package is valid for seven days from the first activation. That matters if you’d rather split the activities across different days instead of stacking them together. The information does not state whether you must complete them in a particular order or reserve each session separately, so confirm those details with the operator before you build your schedule around them.

It’s offered as a private group for up to two people. That gives you a smaller booking than a large shared tour, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the whole watersports base or beach is reserved for you. If you’re booking as a pair, the package price works out to $96 per person. If you’re going alone, the listed price remains $192 per group, and no lower single-person rate is provided.

Jet skiing: 20 minutes of speed

The jet ski session is the package’s quickest hit of adrenaline. You get 20 minutes on the water, with the island’s coastline in view. It’s a short ride, so think of it as a lively introduction to the sport rather than an extended outing across the island.

That brief duration may be a plus if you’re curious about jet skiing but don’t want to spend a large share of your day on it. It also leaves room for the quieter paddle session and the tube ride. If your main aim is a long jet ski trip, however, this package may feel short. No route, distance, or sightseeing stops are specified, so don’t book it expecting a particular coastal itinerary.

An instructor speaks English, and life jackets are included. A wetsuit is available on request. Follow the staff’s instructions and ask about anything you’re unsure of before setting out. The supplied information does not list age limits, license requirements, or a detailed safety briefing, so ask the operator about those points if they affect your plans.

I’d bring swimwear, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as suggested. Keep your belongings in the provided safety lockers rather than taking valuables onto the water. The base has showers, which are handy after a salt-water session, but a towel is not listed as included, so bring your own.

Kayak or SUP: the hour that sets your pace

The one-hour rental is the longest part of the package and the one that gives you the most control over the tempo. You can choose a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard. A kayak keeps you seated; a SUP lets you paddle while standing if you’re comfortable with that. The activity is self-guided, so you set your own pace rather than following a group along a fixed route.

This is the best chance in the package to spend time noticing the coast rather than concentrating on speed or holding on. The description points to volcanic formations and natural scenery, but it does not name a route, beach, or specific landmark. I’d treat the session as a flexible hour on the water, not a guided tour with guaranteed stops.

The choice between kayak and SUP is practical, not just a matter of style. If you want a more stable seated position, the kayak may suit you better. If you prefer standing and balancing, the SUP is the alternative. The information doesn’t say whether both options are always available at the same time, so confirm your preferred craft when you arrange the session.

One hour can go quickly once you factor in getting comfortable with the equipment and finding your rhythm. If you’re new to either craft, there’s no need to turn the outing into a race. Ask the staff what conditions are suitable for your session and stay within any boundaries they set. The package includes life jackets, but it does not give a route map or specify how much instruction is provided for the self-guided rental.

Wave tubing: ten minutes of bouncing fun

The tubing session is the shortest activity, at 10 minutes, and the most focused on shared excitement. You hold on to a towable tube as it moves over the waves, with staff overseeing the ride. It’s a compact burst of speed and splashing rather than a long excursion.

That brief session makes sense as the package’s playful finale, though the activities do not have to be taken in that order. The operator describes the ride as guided for safety, and life jackets are included. A wetsuit can be requested if you’d like one.

Tubing is the activity to approach with a clear sense of your comfort level. You’ll need to hold on and be prepared for movement over the water. The information does not specify how many people can ride at once, how the tube is configured, or how the ride is adjusted for different comfort levels. Ask before you start if you have concerns about the pace or the setup.

The 10-minute duration is worth keeping in perspective when judging value. It is one element in a three-part package, not a stand-alone long ride. If tubing is the activity you’re most excited about, check whether the operator offers a longer session separately.

A handy base near the Perivolos bus stop

The meeting point is the Rxtreme Watersports base, about 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop, a roughly one-minute walk. It is next to Mototi Beach Lounge, which gives you a clear nearby reference point. The activity starts and ends at the same base.

Although the experience is titled for Perissa, the stated meeting point is in the Perivolos area. That distinction is useful when you’re planning where to go, especially if you’re using public transport. The supplied details do not include a pickup service, so plan to reach the base yourself.

Free parking is available if you’re driving. Sun beds and umbrellas are included, as are showers and safety lockers. Those practical extras add value because they make it easier to arrive in swimwear, store your things, and take a break between sessions. They do not turn the package into an all-inclusive beach day, though: food and drinks are not listed, and a towel is on the bring list.

The activity is offered with English instruction and an English audio guide. That is useful if you want to understand the guidance without needing another language, though no further details are given about when or how the audio guide is used.

Is $192 good value for two?

At $192 for a group of up to two, the package costs $96 each if two people share it. In return, you get three activities with 90 minutes of stated time on the water, plus life jackets, use of safety lockers, showers, sun beds, umbrellas, and free parking. The ability to use it over seven days from first activation adds flexibility that a single timed session would not offer.

Value depends on whether you actually want all three activities. If the jet ski, paddle rental, and tube ride all appeal, combining them can be a convenient way to arrange a varied water-sports day or spread the fun out across your stay. If you only want to paddle, or only care about a longer jet ski ride, you may get more from booking the activity that matches your priorities. No separate prices are provided here, so it isn’t possible to compare the package with buying the sessions one by one.

The included beach facilities are useful, but they are not a substitute for checking the details that matter to you. The package does not specify the jet ski route, the number of people on each craft, age limits, or the amount of instruction for the self-guided rental. Ask the operator before booking if any of those details are important.

Booking can be kept flexible: you can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation up to 24 hours in advance is eligible for a full refund. Those terms are helpful if your plans are still taking shape. They don’t answer questions about weather changes or rescheduling, so check directly if you need to know what happens in those cases.

Who will enjoy this package most?

I’d consider it if you’re travelling as a pair and both want a mix of activity rather than a quiet beach day. It suits people who like changing gears: a short, fast ride, a longer session at their own pace, then a brief tubing run. The seven-day validity is especially helpful if you’re staying nearby long enough to use the sessions on separate days.

It may be less suitable if you want a long guided sea excursion, a single extended jet ski ride, or a detailed route with named sights. None of those is part of the information provided. And it is explicitly not suitable for pregnant women.

Before booking, think about how you’d use the paddle hour and whether you’d choose a kayak or SUP. Then confirm any missing practical details with Extreme Water Sports Santorini. If the three activities sound fun and the included beach base matters to you, the package offers a neatly varied way to spend time on the water without committing to a full-day tour.
