Professional Guiding & Safety
Every tour is led by an experienced guide who provides a full safety briefing, on-water supervision, route leadership, and marine-park compliance throughout the experience.

Coastline Cruising
Travel along Magnetic Island’s iconic granite headlands and unique rock formations, with your guide sharing local knowledge about the coastline and surrounding National Parks.

Marine Encounters
Keep an eye out for fish, turtles, rays, dolphins, birds of prey, and, during the season, humpback whales, with your guide on hand to help spot wildlife and share info along the way.

Hidden Bays & Island Stories
Visit secluded bays accessible only by ocean and hear light commentary about the area’s natural features, marine parks, and a few local stories from our crew.

Equipment & EMC
We provide everything you need: thermal rashies, life jackets, goggles and dry bags.
Your Environmental Management Charge (EMC) contributes directly to the daily protection and management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Tour Photos Included
Relax and enjoy the ride, your guide captures photos throughout the tour, and you’ll receive full access at no extra cost.

Photo ID
Bring one form of valid photo identification, such as a driver’s licence, 18+ card or passport. Your guide will check this during the pre-tour briefing.

Credit Card
A credit card matching the ID is required for registration. No deposit is withheld, charges only apply in the unlikely event of an incident.

Clothing
Wear something comfortable for check-in. We’ll fit you with a thermal rashie.

Sunglasses & Hats
We provide tinted goggles for sun and splash protection. You’re welcome to bring a bucket or fishing hat with a secure strap (excludes straw hats, which can’t be worn on tour).

Phones & Cameras
You’re welcome to bring your phone or small camera on the ski. Your guide will show you the safest storage options during the briefing.

Sunscreen & Towel
Bring a towel for after your tour. If you didn’t pre-order sunscreen, feel free to bring your own, we include time to apply it once you’re suited up.

Water Bottle
Bring a small reusable water bottle. Each jet ski glove box fits one bottle up to around 600 mL, and your guide will point out the safest way to store it.

Daily Operations

We operate seven days a week from Horseshoe Bay, running multiple guided tours throughout the day during peak seasons. Our sheltered location means we can operate in most weather conditions, ensuring consistent demand for our experienced guide team.

No Licence or Experience Needed

No previous jet ski experience or licence is required. Your guide will take you through everything needed to ride safely and confidently.

Small Group Tours

We keep our tours small and personalised, with up to 10 participants on each departure. Every tour is led by one of our trained guides, with an additional guide joining when group size or conditions require extra on-water supervision.

Safety First

Before heading out, you’ll receive a comprehensive safety briefing, equipment demonstration, and clear instructions on marine-park compliance. Throughout the tour, your guide manages group spacing, monitors weather and water conditions, and ensures a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone.

Where to Meet

Find us in Horseshoe Bay, just a 1-minute walk from the beachfront bus stop. Look for the blue banner under the palm trees beside the boat ramp. Get directions.

Weather Planning
Our Five Bays Tour is rarely affected by weather. When westerly winds blow, we simply operate along the sheltered eastern coastline, still visiting secluded beaches and calm-water locations.

Full Island Tour Conditions
The Full Island Guided Jet Ski Tour is more weather dependent. If your preferred day is unavailable, call 4758 1100 or email us, our guides can recommend the best options based on conditions.

Tour Adjustments
Occasionally, wind, sea state or minimum numbers may prevent a full lap of the island. In these cases, we switch to our Top End Tour and refund the price difference. Your guide will communicate any changes clearly and keep you updated at all times.

Minimum Numbers
The Full Island Jet Ski Tour requires a minimum of 2 jet skis (2–4 people) to operate.

Coming from Townsville?
For our 8:30 AM tours, we recommend catching the 7:00 AM SeaLink passenger ferry from Townsville. SeaLink is the passenger ferry service and is different from Magnetic Island Ferries.

Connecting Bus
When you arrive at the Nelly Bay Ferry Terminal, the connecting bus leaves at 7:40 AM and arrives in Horseshoe Bay at approximately 7:52 AM. This gives you plenty of time to grab a coffee, take a walk along the beach and make your way to our office before your tour.

We Don't Recommend the 8:20 AM Bus
We ask you to arrive at our office at around 8:20 AM, ready for your 8:30 AM briefing. The later bus, which connects with the 7:45 AM ferry, doesn't arrive in Horseshoe Bay until after this time, making it too late for our morning tour.

Bus Timetable
You can view the full Magnetic Island bus timetable here.

Prefer a Taxi?
Taxis are also available on Magnetic Island. If you'd prefer to pre-book your transport to Horseshoe Bay, Magnetic Island Maxis is another option.
