About this tour
Throttle around Magnetic Island's coastline on a jet ski, weaving past granite outcrops and coral-fringed shallows. This two-hour stint puts you on the water where dolphins, turtles, dugongs and the occasional whale show up. You'll skim along North Queensland's best coastal scenery—white sand, palms, and the sort of marine activity you don't see from shore. All gear supplied: life jacket, goggles, safety run-through. Max two riders per ski.
Highlights
- Chase dolphins and turtles through coral reef edges
- Navigate granite boulder formations and hidden coves
- Spot dugongs and seasonal whale migrations
- Two hours of unrestricted coastal exploration
- All safety equipment and water provided
- Book multiple skis for group rides
What to expect
You'll receive a thorough safety briefing before pushing off. The ride covers shallow reef zones and deeper channels where marine life congregates. Expect to slow around wildlife hotspots—dolphins and turtles aren't predictable, but sightings are common. The throttle responds immediately; control takes a minute to dial in. Granite boulders and palm-backed beaches roll past as you cover distance. The 120-minute window gives plenty of room to explore without rush. Your second rider sits tight behind; communication happens via hand signals and speed adjustments. Water and shaded breaks are built in.
Good to know
Bring photo ID if you're piloting. Sunscreen is non-negotiable—reflection off water amplifies burn. Secure sunglasses with a strap. Pack a towel and change of clothes. Moderate fitness required; not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular conditions. Public transport gets you there; book one ski at a time if you need multiples.
