Choosing Your Adventure: Jet Ski Tours vs. Hire

- Jet Ski Tours for 1 Hour ($200): Explore the stunning coastline, spot wildlife like dolphins, and feel the ocean spray. Our jet skis hold up to two riders (max 200kg combined), so you can share the experience and even swap drivers halfway. This is the safest and most accessible way to enjoy jet skiing on the Gold Coast. Get a head start with our tips for Jet Skiing for Beginners.
Independent Jet Ski Hire: Freedom to Explore If you have a valid Personal Watercraft (PWC) licence, our hire option gives you the freedom to chart your own course. Explore secluded islands and enjoy breathtaking views at your own pace.
- Jet Ski Hire for 1 Hour ($200): With your PWC licence, you get a top-quality, carefully maintained Sea-Doo jet ski to steer the Gold Coast's aquatic playground. It's the ultimate independent adventure, but remember to adhere to all local marine regulations for a safe journey.
