About this experience

Jetski Rental in Sipadan Island offers self-drive personal watercraft hire from the jetty at Sipadan Island, Sabah. Renters receive a safety briefing, life jacket, and a fuel-inclusive tank for a fixed 30-minute or 1-hour session. The rental operates within the designated marine park zone, with a licensed guide following each jetski at a set distance.

What to expect

Rental sessions are fixed at 30 minutes or 1 hour, with a maximum speed of 40 km/h enforced by the guide's escort jetski.
Each rental includes a life jacket, a waterproof phone pouch, and a full tank of fuel; no deposit is required for the equipment.
You ride along the eastern reef edge, passing the drop-off wall where sea turtles surface and schools of barracuda feed near the surface.
The activity suits confident swimmers aged 16 and above; a valid boat licence is not required, but a signed liability waiver is mandatory.
A dry bag and fresh-water rinse station are available at the jetty after your session, and the guide takes one photo of your group from the escort jetski.
