The 15 Best Jet Ski Tours in Australia

Whitsundays Guided Jet Ski Tour - Choose the route that matches your energy

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,348 reviews · from $92Our pick

From Coral Sea Marina, follow guides such as Josh, Phoebe, Sami, or Brook across the Whitsunday Marine Park. Choose a gentle Airlie Adventure, a 50-kilometre Two-Island Safari, or the solo-rider Ultimate Island Trek with lunch at Palm Bay Resort.

“What an amazing experience! The guides Phoebe and Josh really made us feel comfortable and safe out on the water. When the water is nice and smooth you can really pick up some speed which is super fun. When it's a bit choppy it can get quite rough no matter what speed you're going, so definitely better on a less choppy day. Other than that though, we had a great time and would definitely recommend it!”
