About this tour

A 2-hour jetski experience on Gold Coast waterways, split between a guided warm-up through Surfers Paradise rivers and open riding across the Broadwater.

Suited to adventure seekers aged 7+ (as passenger) or 12+ (with adult supervision to drive).

  • Ride past luxury mansions, sandbars, islands and mangrove shorelines

  • Professional guide on separate jetski throughout
  • Suitable for ages 7+ as passenger, 12+ to drive with supervision
  • All safety gear and jetski included

What to expect

You'll start in calm Surfers Paradise rivers, getting a feel for the jetski and building confidence with your guide leading the way. Once you're comfortable, you'll head out to the Broadwater where you have freedom to set the pace—throttle up for adrenaline or cruise if you prefer. You'll pass through Gold Coast waterways lined with islands, beaches, mangroves and sandbars, with your guide staying nearby throughout.

The full experience runs 2 hours total, with the river section giving way to the main open-water portion. You'll wear all provided safety gear and stick with your guide. The ride wraps at the original departure point.
