About this tour
Throttle across the Gold Coast's waterways on a personal jet ski, starting in Surfers Paradise before opening up on the Broadwater. This two-hour experience pairs a guide on their own ski with your chance to dial the intensity up or down—cruise past riverside estates and mangrove channels, or push harder around sandbars and island outcrops. You control the speed; the guide ensures you've got the skills to handle it.
Highlights
- Weave through Surfers Paradise luxury-home waterways at your own pace
- Access open Broadwater with islands, beaches, and sandbars
- Guide pilots separately—no passenger seat constraints
- Suitable for ages 7+ (passengers); drivers from 12 with adult
- Wheelchair accessible throughout entire operation
What to expect
After a safety briefing and gear check, you'll start in protected riverside channels to get comfortable with the controls. Once confident, you'll head onto the Broadwater where you can really stretch the throttle if you want it. The guide stays with you on their own ski, setting waypoints but letting you choose your cruising speed. Expect water spray, engine noise, and views that shift from manicured waterfront properties to natural mangrove stands and sand formations. The ride's intensity is genuinely yours to set.
