About this tour
Blast across Sydney Harbour at high speed on a purpose-built jet boat, banking hard past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. This 30-minute ride from Circular Quay delivers genuine adrenaline—expect sharp 270-degree turns and the kind of spray that makes you grip the seat. It's Australia's busiest jet boating operation, with departures every hour daily. You'll suit up in weatherproof gear and get a thorough safety brief before pushing off.

What to expect
You'll check in 20 minutes early, provide ID, and get geared into waterproof clothing. The safety briefing covers what happens during hard turns and what to hold onto. Once aboard, the boat accelerates quickly and the pilot uses the full width of the harbour—banking past landmarks, hitting the throttle in open water, and executing tight spins that press you sideways. You will get wet. The ride is relentless rather than leisurely.
