100% recommended

Can't believe how much we enjoyed this! I was reluctant and thought it would be "touristy" and a rip off. Couldn't have been more wrong. Modern and well maintained jet skis that went faster than what I could handle! Well worth the price and we will be back again with the rest of the family.

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.
