Ride your own jet ski past Gold Coast mansions and beaches on a fast 30-minute safari, with small groups, guides, and flexible booking.
“We booked the 30-minute jetski package that clearly included free photos. After the ride, when we asked for the photos, the staff said, “I gave you a chance to take photos on your phone,” which was never mentioned during booking. This is misleading because the package specifically states that photos are included, and we also paid for them. Changing the terms after the ride is unfair and very disappointing. The jetski experience itself was good, but the service after the ride was unprofessional. If photos are advertised, they should be provided — not denied with excuses. I hope the management fixes this issue so future customers don’t face the same…”

Race across Gold Coast waters on a shared jet ski, with safety gear, skyline views, wildlife possibilities, and clear age rules.
“During the safety training, we had to listen to the instructor and fill in the blanks in sentences. The instructor, who had one leg missing, mumbled as he read the sentences. I asked if he could speak more slowly. The instructor suddenly snatched my paper away and repeatedly asked in English what would happen if I died while jet skiing. He then told me I couldn't ride a jet ski. There were five of us, including myself, who had attended the safety training, and I was the only Asian from Korea. My friend and I had purchased this tour to create wonderful memories during our holiday, but I felt it…”
Reef days, coast roads, wine country and the red centre.
