About this tour
A 1- to 1.5-hour jet ski tour around Cockburn Sound and Garden Island, just south of Perth, for anyone wanting speed and wildlife spotting in one hit. You'll ride in groups of up to six across two watercraft per Jet Ski, with a guide leading the way. Two pace options let you choose between a steady eco-focused run or a faster, adrenaline-heavy blast—either way, you're scanning for dolphins and sea lions as you go.
Highlights
- Two tour styles: Eco-Tour for calm cruising or Blast Tour for high-speed thrills
- Small groups—maximum three Jet Skis plus one guide at any time
- Wildlife spotting: dolphins and sea lions in their natural habitat
- Cockburn Sound and Garden Island scenery south of Perth city
- Fully supervised; suitable for ages 8+ as passengers, 16+ with adult supervision
- Life jacket and local guide included

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and receive a life jacket before boarding your assigned Jet Ski with one other rider (or solo if booking for two). The guide briefs you on handling and safety, then leads your small cluster across Cockburn Sound at the pace you've chosen—steady for the Eco-Tour, or faster and more energetic for the Blast. Throughout the ride, you'll watch for marine wildlife and take in the coastal landscape around Garden Island. The route may shift depending on water and weather conditions. You'll return to the starting point after your allotted hour or 90 minutes.
