The Ocean Adrenaline Ride launches from Little River with a singular aim: push the throttle, cut across coastal water, and trade quiet beach scenery for raw ocean speed. Operated by Myrtle Beach Jet Ski Rental, the guided tour threads the Intracoastal Waterway before heading into open ocean stretches where riders can chase speed and often spot dolphins close to the skis.

THE THRILLS

High-performance Yamaha skis

Riders pilot modern Yamaha VX Deluxe jet skis supplied by the operator—powerful, stable machines built for high-speed runs and long two-hour outings.

THE WILDLIFE

Dolphins up close

Part of the draw is the wildlife: guided rides commonly include opportunities to see dolphins and other marine life near the surface during ocean segments of the tour.

THE ROUTE

Intracoastal Waterway to open ocean

The route combines scenic Intracoastal cruising with stretches into the open Atlantic, offering a mix of protected-water riding and open-sea runs for speed and coastal vistas.
