About this tour
A 2.5-hour guided jet ski tour through the World Heritage Whitsunday Island Marine Park, departing from Airlie Beach. Three daily options let you choose your route: the Turtle Tour around Airlie, the Two Island Safari exploring Molle and Daydream Islands, or the Ultimate Island Trek to Palm Bay Resort (which includes lunch). No licence or prior experience required — you'll ride modern Sea-Doo models with a professional guide, full safety gear, and hotel pickup included.

What to expect
You'll start with hotel pickup from your Airlie Beach accommodation, then head to Coral Sea Marina to meet your guide and receive a safety briefing. You'll be fitted with protective apparel and a lifejacket, then board your jet ski for the chosen route — either a gentler Turtle Tour around Airlie, a moderate Two Island Safari through sheltered passages, or a more challenging full-day trek to Palm Bay. Throughout the ride, your guide leads the group at a controlled pace with regular stops to take in views and marine life. The Ultimate Island Trek includes lunch at the resort; the other tours provide bottled water but no food. You'll return to Coral Sea Marina mid-afternoon, then be driven back to your hotel.

Good to know
This suits adventurous adults and confident teenagers (minimum age 16) who want a guided water activity without needing training or a licence. It's not for you if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, have cardiovascular issues, or can't swim in a lifejacket. You'll need moderate fitness for Airlie Adventure, above-average fitness and water confidence for the Two Island and Ultimate Island treks. Weight limits apply (maximum 230 kg per jet ski). The tour operates in most weather but operates open waters — expect wind and spray. If you're staying on a Whitsunday Island resort (not Airlie Beach), you must arrange your own transport to Coral Sea Marina for your departure time. Bring cash or a card for food on the Airlie and Two Island tours if needed.
