My wife and I aged over 60 had never been on a Jet Boat before. We had a very friendly welcoming and safety session and then heard some satanic laughing from the person who was to be our Captain for the day. WIth a little trepidation, we went onto the boat with again a very clear communication of what to do and the signals that were used to communicate. Then we started - it was Fast!! The Captain made that boat do things it shouldn't have been able to do - expertly!! She warned us we might get a tad wet. The first time I thought I was going to drown because of the amount of water coming at me, I had to agree with her. When I thought I saw a fish flash past my face I was even more amazed. It was tremendous fun. Being accountants and by nature risk-takers, this was great!! At no stage was I worried for our safety and at all times, even though I was amazed at what the boat was doing, the Captain had everything under control. I'd do it again in a flash, maybe in a wet suit though:)
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and heart-warming review! We’re all about crafting unforgettable days out, and hearing that you connected with our Captain, scenery, and overall experience makes our whole team super proud. Cairns has so much to explore, and we’re stoked we could share a slice of it with you. If your travels ever bring you back our way, we’d be honoured to adventure with you again. Until then — thanks for being an absolute legend!
Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cairns. Whether you’re with friends, family, or even going solo, it’s such a fun way to experience the water and create great memories! The spins, speed, and sharp turns had everyone laughing and holding on tight—it’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and fun.
We are stoked to hear that you created some great memories out on the water :)
Best jetboat tour ever!! So fun, very thrilling, and worth it. Our guide (sorry we forgot your name) was super fun! She kept checking in on us after every spin. Music on the jetboat was an added bonus. Splash splash splash!!
We love to hear that it was the best jetboat tour ever! We hope to have you join us again soon :)
We decided to do this on a whim and so glad we did. Family of 4 with two kids aged 10 and 7. We had an absolute blast, it was a lot of fun. We got soaked and glad we did the 3pm ride so we went back to our accommodation and had a shower, I'd hate to be walking around soaked all day if doing it in the morning make sure you have a change of clothes handy - you will be soaked!! Our driver was great, so funny and we felt really safe the whole time even though we were going so fast. I just wish you didn't have to pay extra for the photos, the ride is expensive so to pay an extra $80 on top for a photo is extreme - so we only have our memories in our mind. Highly recommend.
Thankyou for your review! We are stoked to hear that you and your family had an absolute blast :)
If you like feeling exhilarated this is it. Be prepared to get wet from the water spray so suggest clothing that dries out quick or is designed for getting wet. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!!!!
Wonderful! We are stoked to hear that you enjoyed the ride, Pam :)
You get wet but awesome experience would do it again the driver was excellent and the music was good as well
Wonderful! It makes us so happy to hear that you had an awesome experience :)
