Thanks heaps! We are thrilled to hear you loved our Cairns Jet Boat Ride. Nothing we love more than happy adventurers. See you next round!
Great boat ride despite the bit of rain we got. Jack was a great driver and the customer service was awesome as we got our photos for free because the go pro came off halfway through the ride. Well done to all! Thanks 😊

What a thrilling experience!! My husband, 8 year old daughter and my in-laws all equally loved the jet boat ride with these guys. We were kindly able to enjoy a test spin at the beginning of the ride prior to gunning it up the river for swerving, spinning, splashing fun. Professionally run with good communication about what to expect and safety at the forefront. Great scenery is a bonus and photos/videos to purchase also a great little holiday memoir. Thanks Cairns Jet Boat Ride!
