Jet skiing is one of the most thrilling ways to experience the Whitsundays. In just about 2 hours, you’ll ride across crystal-clear waters, cruise past mangrove bays, and often spot turtles, dolphins, and other marine life along the way. Tours run daily from Coral Sea Marina, and you don’t need a licence to join—making it an easy adventure for beginners as well as seasoned riders.
Guides lead every tour, speeds are safely managed, and all the gear you need is included, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
No licence is required. Before the tour, you’ll do a short dockside training to learn throttle control and safe handling. Guides manage group speeds, and drivers must be at least 16 years old.
Yes, two riders can share a jet ski as long as the combined weight is under 200kg. Passengers must hold the safety handles, and the driver is responsible for all manoeuvres.
First-timers are welcome. Guides explain throttle use, turning radius, and how to make an emergency stop. You’ll also get a chance to practice in a calm area before the tour begins.
Yes, expect spray and splashes throughout the ride. Free wetsuit tops are offered in winter, and dry storage is available at the marina so you can change into fresh clothes afterwards.
