The Owners of Karma Waters & Tara enjoy life on the river, discovering & seeing the river.

We see no value in jetskis being used on public beachs - which is why we do not rent jetskis from a beach!

On a jetski river tour we do NOT go up and down in a small area - we travel long distances and therefore local effects of noise, water & air pollution are less.

We are unique in Vietnam in giving jetskis a purpose for use for river tours - rather than just going around in circles on the beachs annoying non-jetski riders! Jetskis are a tool used by us to discover and show the beauty of the Hoi An river system. 

In our view by themselves jetskis are really not interesting!  Jetskis are great vessels for rescue, shallow water, etc. but are mostly mis-used and therefore mis-understood. 

We are mindful of water pollution (exhaust into the water) from 2 stroke engines (jetskis and outboard engines) but there are problems with poor quality of Vietnamese petrol (Chinese refined) and local mechanics which for now practically prohibit the use of cleaner 4 stroke engines. 

We are aware of jetski pollution & negative effects to global warming, use of non-renewable energy resource, etc. but when taken in the context of total pollution then it is more important to choose a vegan diet than it is not to ride a jetski!  This is NOT an excuse - as a responsible tourism operator we are moving away from using jetskis & all fossil fueled engines and towards more sustainable means of tourism such as kayaking, sailing, walking, biking, etc.
