About this tour
Tear across the Gold Coast's waterways on a jet ski, starting with confidence-building laps before heading out on a 15km coastal run. You'll throttle past the Surfers Paradise skyline, skim sandbars around South Stradbroke Island, and spot wildlife along subtropical shores. Choose your pace—flat out or cruising—then loop back to base. The whole outing takes 90 minutes and suits riders aged 7 and up, with younger kids welcome as passengers.

What to expect
You'll begin on a 1km track to build familiarity with the machine and your own comfort level. Once ready, you and your guide head into open water for the main 15km loop. The route hugs the shoreline, weaving past beaches, sandbars and islands—stop or slow down to watch for dolphins, birds and other wildlife. You set the tempo: hammer it or take it easy. The whole session is about 90 minutes, returning to base feeling either exhilarated or pleasantly cruised out depending on how hard you pushed.
