An amazing experience!

Totally awesome experience - never jet ski’d before but the instructions beforehand was comprehensive. Our instructors Harry, Joel and Jake were all very competent and informative. The trip was amazing up the Strip and back, with some incredible views of the Gold Coast. Highly recommended!

🤩 Great 🤩

First time jet skiing. It was loads of fun once we worked out the mechanics. - with less than 24 hours notice we were notified by text (not a phone call) that the start time was moved earlier. - in a separate text we were notified each rider would need to pay an additional cost to cover petrol inflation. ⚠️Make sure to: - bring a cheap pair of sunglasses as salt water gets in eyes - maintain a consistent speed above 40knots (this makes turns and manoeuvring over waves easier). More fun can be had at 55knots or above. Go fast when turning, don’t slow down. My party ended up getting more than the time we paid for which was great. I’d definitely do it again.

Shoddy operators

We had a collision on the jetski expedition whereby we were immediately threatened with $1500+ costs as per terms and conditions. The "discussion" re damages was very poorly handled by the head operator. In a crowded group of 30+ returned jetskiiers and another group forming we were offered an alternative to pay $500 upfront (eftpos machine very quickly whipped out). Whilst i acknowledge a collision occurred as per the operators (i was not on the expedition as it was just my sons) I was very poorly hoodwinked into paying $500 without any proper consultation and no documentation offered for protection of potential future liability. VERY unprofessionally handled as we were put on the spot in a crowded situation. They just wanted it to go away and get the $$ and i was not properly advised to consider the options. They took the money and ran - i paid the $500 as i didn't want to ruin an otherwise fun experience for my kids and knew they had me over a barrel with T&Cs. But their handling of the issue was shoddy, suspect and extremely unprofessional.

Jet Skis Safaris

What a great trip! We went for an hour Safari with Mac and Elias. There were 9 of us with varying abilities and everyone had a great time. The boys show you all you need to know about Jet skiing, they are safety conscious but you also get to travel at top speeds on the water. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It's the best thing we have done since being in QLD.

Check ahead.

Check with the actual company before going. Our Viator time and location did not match up with the company doing the tour. Luckily we were early and out time was an hour later than the Viator app listed.

It was my first experience of jet skiing.

I wasn't that good at English and I managed to make sense of the contents of the first video, but thanks to the Japanese speaking staff, I was able to successfully pass the test! And when I actually rode it, I thought it was going to be like this, but as soon as I got out to sea, I decided to cut it off at full throttle! We were over 70km/h 🙂 Adrenaline bursting out of our heads 😉 You can't ride without a licence in Japan, so I'd definitely recommend you try it here on the Gold Coast!

Unfair and unsafe business practices

Booked a 1.5 hour jet ski trip for the two of us for $250 US.When the operator realized we only needed one jetski,he still charged us for two. My girlfriend got sick on the initial ride out,so we had to return before the tour even started.They still charged us,no refunds.Tour had way too many people and way too many inexperienced drivers. I find this lack of a refund very unfair.
