What to Expect

Discover Cairns from the water on a guided jet ski tour designed for both first-time riders and confident thrill seekers. Departing from Cairns, these tours take you beyond busy tourist areas and into the natural waterways of Far North Queensland, including Trinity Inlet and the Coral Sea coastline.

No licence or prior experience is required. Each tour begins with a clear safety briefing and hands-on instruction, so you can ride confidently from the moment you set off. Follow an experienced local guide as you cruise mangrove-lined channels, open stretches of water, and wildlife-rich areas rarely seen from land.

Choose a short 30-minute ride for a fast-paced taste of jet skiing in Cairns, or opt for a longer 60-minute tour that explores shipwrecks, winding inlets, and coastal scenery. For those interested in nature, the dedicated croc spotting jet ski tour travels deep into Trinity Inlet, where saltwater crocodiles and native birdlife are commonly seen in their natural habitat.
