Perissa: Santorini Jet Skiing, Tubing, and Kayaking Package
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Extreme Water Sports Santorini · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Perissa moves at water-level. This package strings together jet skiing, a kayak or SUP hour, and wave tubing in one practical day, with a meeting spot that’s easy to reach. It’s the kind of active add-on that fits well if you want a big Santorini moment without spending the whole day on transfers or long tours.
I like the value math here: for one set price (per group up to 2), you’re getting three different water activities plus the usual safety and beach-side extras. I also like that the kayak/SUP portion is self-guided, so you can match the pace to your comfort level instead of being dragged along on a tight schedule.
One thing to consider: the adrenaline pieces are brief—20 minutes on the jet ski and 10 minutes tubing—so if you’re chasing a long, slow “play on the water all day” vibe, this won’t replace a full beach day.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

- Three rides, not one: Jet ski (20 min), kayak or SUP (1 hour), and wave tubing (10 min)
- Private group time: You’re not sharing the experience with a big crowd
- Self-guided paddle: Your one-hour kayak/SUP slot lets you explore at your pace
- Safety and gear handled: Life jackets, safety lockers, and showers are included; wet suits are available on request
- Perissa-area logistics are easy: Rxtreme Watersports is about 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop, next to Mototi Beach Lounge
- Budget-friendly for two: It’s priced per group up to 2, which can work out well if you’re not going solo
Perissa Makes This Watersports Package Feel Effortless

This isn’t “drive across the island for one quick thing.” Perissa (with Perivolos nearby) is a practical base for water activities in Santorini. Your start point is the Rxtreme Watersports base, just about a 1-minute walk from the Perivolos bus stop, and it’s right next to Mototi Beach Lounge. That matters because you spend less time figuring out where you’re going and more time in the water.
Also, the package is built for a straightforward flow: jet ski first, then an hour to paddle, then the short-but-loud tubing segment. You don’t need to think like an operations manager. You just need your basics—swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and the usual summer gear.
If you want a day that feels like a real activity (not just a sightseeing stop), this format hits the mark.
Your 7-Day Validity Window and Private Group Setup

This package is valid for 7 days, starting from when you first activate it. That flexibility is useful in Santorini, where weather, sea conditions, or your other plans can shift. If you book ahead and something messes with your schedule, you’re not automatically stuck.
It’s also a private group. That’s a big deal when you’re paying attention to how instruction and safety feel. Even though you’ll have an English-speaking instructor, a private setup usually means less waiting around and less time spent negotiating space.
Just keep in mind that “7 days valid” doesn’t guarantee a specific time slot on every day. It gives you options, which is what you want in a place where the sea can change its mood.
Jet Skiing for 20 Minutes: The Adrenaline Segment That Counts

The jet ski portion is 20 minutes. That’s short enough that it stays exciting, not exhausting. It’s long enough to actually feel like you did something, not like you just got a quick taste.
What you can expect: you hop aboard and speed across Santorini’s turquoise waters, with wind in your hair and island scenery around you. The point here is momentum. Jet skiing in this time frame is about that burst of motion—fast enough to wake up your brain, brief enough that you don’t spend your vacation recovering.
What I like most for practical travelers: the package includes life jackets and comes with safety lockers. You’re not juggling your phone and wallet in and out of the water like it’s a survival challenge.
Possible consideration: if you’re a strong swimmer and you still feel nervous with speed-based activities, you may want to mentally prepare for a controlled adrenaline ride rather than a long freestyle session.
Kayak or SUP for One Hour: Self-Guided, Your Pace Wins

After jet ski, you get a full hour to paddle—kayak or SUP—and that’s where the experience becomes more personal. You’re not locked into a group line the whole time. It’s self-guided, which means you can stop when you see something interesting, turn around when you feel done, and pace yourself.
The activity is designed for exploration around volcanic formations and the surrounding coastline scenery. You’re also likely to feel more relaxed here than on the jet ski because you’re in control of speed and direction.
Why this hour is valuable: it balances the day. Jet skiing and tubing are fast and intense. The kayak/SUP part gives you a calmer window to take in the water and surroundings, and it lets you choose how challenging you want the paddle to be.
Gear support is included—life jackets are part of the package, and you’ll have shower access afterward. If you’re debating whether to pick kayak or SUP, here’s the simple decision rule:
- Choose kayak if you want stability and comfort.
- Choose SUP if you’re confident standing and you want a bigger balance challenge.
If you’re unsure, kayak is the safer bet for enjoying the hour instead of thinking about whether your feet are about to betray you.
Wave Tubing for 10 Minutes: Fast, Wet, and Short Enough to Enjoy

The tubing slot is only 10 minutes, but it’s intentionally built as a quick hit. You hold on, waves push under you, and an experienced guide handles safety so you can focus on staying on and having fun.
This is the segment that feels more like a thrill ride than a “water activity.” You’re not trying to be graceful; you’re trying to survive the bounce with a grin.
What makes it worth including: the tubing timing is long enough to give you laughs and energy, but short enough that it doesn’t dominate the day or drain you for the rest of your trip. For many people, that makes it the perfect final splash.
One practical note: if you’re sensitive to rougher water, you may feel the impact more during tubing than during the calm paddle time. The guide’s job is safety, but your body still feels the sea.
Included Gear, Sun Essentials, and the Stuff You Must Bring

This package covers a lot of what usually gets forgotten until you’re already in swim gear and regret-ing everything:
Included:
- Jet ski
- Kayak (or SUP rental)
- Tube
- Life jackets
- Safety lockers
- Shower
- Free parking
- Free sun beds and umbrellas
Wet suits are available upon request. That’s helpful if you run cold or the water feels cooler than you expected.
What you should bring (don’t show up empty-handed):
- Sunglasses
- Hat
- Swimwear
- Towel
- Sunscreen
Why I’m emphasizing this: Santorini days can be bright and hot, and you’ll be exposed while waiting, suiting up, and drying off later. Sunscreen and shade matter more than you think when you’re spending time outdoors between segments.
If you’re planning to wear prescription glasses, consider sunglasses with straps or a plan for keeping eyewear safe around waves. Not required by the package, but it’s a common practical problem for water days.
Meeting Point Near Perivolos Bus Stop and Mototi Beach Lounge

Logistics can make or break a fun day. Here, it’s refreshingly simple.
You meet at the Extreme Water Sports Santorini / Rxtreme Watersports base, located about 50 meters from the Perivolos bus stop—roughly a 1-minute walk. It’s also right next to Mototi Beach Lounge.
That means if you’re in the Perissa/Perivolos area, you can keep your travel plan lightweight. No complex shuttles. No “meet in the parking lot that looks like every other parking lot.”
The activity ends back at the meeting point, which makes your next plan easier—either another beach hour or a short trip back to where you’re staying.
English Instruction and the Audio Guide: Helpful, Not Hype

The instructor is English, and there’s an English audio guide included. That’s practical because watersports are one of those situations where you don’t want to guess what you’re supposed to do.
Even if you’re experienced, it’s worth listening. Jet ski safety and tubing rules can be very specific, especially around boarding, spacing, and signals.
Also, the package being a private group suggests you’ll get more direct attention when you need it. That’s useful if you have questions before you get into the water.
Price and Value for Two: When This Package Makes Sense

Price is $192 per group up to 2. That pricing structure can be good value if you’re not traveling solo, because your cost doesn’t balloon based on each person.
Here’s what you’re effectively buying:
- A 20-minute jet ski ride
- A full hour kayak or SUP rental (self-guided)
- A 10-minute wave tubing ride
- Life jackets, lockers, and shower
- Free sun beds and umbrellas
- Free parking
So you’re not paying for one thing. You’re paying for a full half-to-three-quarters hour of action across three formats, plus the “comfort extras” that make water time easier.
Potential drawback on value: if you’re alone, “per group up to 2” might not help as much, and if you want longer time on any one activity, you may feel the shorter durations.
But if your goal is a day with variety—fast thrill, then calmer paddling, then more splash—this package’s structure is exactly what you’re paying for.
Who Should Book This Santorini Watersports Package?
This is a great fit if you:
- Want multiple water activities in one stop without complicated logistics
- Travel as a couple or with a small private group (since it’s priced per group up to 2)
- Like adrenaline but also appreciate a calmer self-guided hour
- Prefer an English-speaking setup for safety and instructions
It’s less of a fit if you:
- Want a long, slow water day where you stay out for hours at a time
- Don’t enjoy intense wave activities (tubing can be rougher on your body than paddling)
- Are pregnant—this package is listed as not suitable for pregnant women
If you’re trying to pack a lot into Santorini without feeling like you’re always sprinting to the next thing, this hits a nice middle ground.
Should You Book It? My Take
Book it if you want a well-rounded Santorini water day with gear included, easy meeting logistics, and enough variety to keep it from feeling repetitive. The “three segment” format is what makes this feel like a real experience, not just one ride.
Skip or rethink if your top priority is duration. Jet ski is 20 minutes and tubing is 10 minutes. The payoff is intensity and variety, not time on the water.
For most people who like the idea of jet skiing plus a self-guided paddle, this package is a strong choice—especially if you’re traveling as two and can spread the group price.
