Jet Boat Ride
Excellent if you like a fast bumpy boat ride. You get quite wet. The boat driver started off quite gently but picked up the abrupt turns and stops once he has assessed the riders to see what he thought they could cope with. Well worth it. Do not go if you do not like getting wet and prefer smooth graceful boat rides. They do give you a plastic poncho to wear which keeps you mostly dry.

Absolutely Brilliant!
I went with a young man who I care for! We had the most amazing time! He absolutely loved it. It was a wonderful experience! Our driver Quinn went above and beyond to make our experience so special! Thank you Quinn. We really appreciate it! Quinn and the whole team were so efficient, attentive, kind and caring. I highly recommend this awesome adventure!

What a fun way to see the beautiful Sydney Harbour!
Amazing experience! Stunning views from the boat combined with high-speed thrills. Flying over boat wakes and doing 360s by the buoys was incredible. Yes, you will get a wet backside, but it’s totally worth it. Highly recommended! 👌🏼

Best trill experience on Sydney Harbour
We loved our experience with Thunder Jet boat Sydney! It was definitely the highlight of our Sydney holiday. We all loved the thrill of the jet boat and had the best time. John was amazing, he kept us informed before each trick and shared some great information about Sydney Harbour. The whole team was fantastic and so helpful. They assisted my mum, who has a knee problem, getting on and off the boat and John was very thoughtful with my aunty’s hearing difficulties, using hand signals to let her know when a trick was coming. Such a fun experience and definitely one of the best things to do in Sydney, no matter your age. Thank you to the whole team, especially John. We can’t wait to come back and do it again.
