A jet ski tour is one of the most popular activities in Airlie Beach. You ride as a group behind a guide who knows the permitted routes inside the marine park and the best corners of the coast.
How the tour works
- Safety and handling briefing at the marina.
- Guided ride along the Airlie coast and Pioneer Bay towards nearby islands, depending on the sea.
- Stops to look for sea turtles and, in season (July to September), a chance to see humpback whales at a safe distance.
- Time to enjoy some speed in open water.
Who it is for
For adults and couples. One jet ski carries two people; the driver must be an adult with a valid driving licence or meet the operator’s conditions. Children can ride as passengers above the minimum age.
What to bring
Swimwear, rash guard, sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap and your driving licence. Life jackets are included.
Best time
All year, with steadier seas from May to October. Rides are cancelled in strong winds for safety. A refundable security deposit may apply.
We confirm the departure marina when you book, so you can plan your morning around the tour.
Included
- Jet ski for 1-2 people
