Description of this activity

In La Somone, a resort renowned for its lagoon classified as a nature reserve, jet skiing is practiced outside the protected area, where the ocean opens up to the horizon. This exceptional setting combines calm seas, unspoiled landscapes, and a feeling of total freedom.
The activity begins on the beach, where a certified instructor welcomes you for a briefing on safety and driving. After a few simple instructions, you take control of your machine, alone or in pairs, and set off for a session of surfing tailored to your level.

The exit allows you to drive along the coast and admire the contrast between the lush mangroves, the fine sandy beaches, and the blue waters of the Atlantic. The 30- to 60-minute sessions give you time to explore the area around Ngaparou or Saly, with magnificent views of the lagoon and the bird sanctuary.
Speed lovers will enjoy the open space to test the power of the jet ski, while those who prefer a more contemplative pace will simply appreciate the pleasure of cruising in the heart of nature.
