What To Expect

Discover the coastline of Magnetic Island on an exciting jet ski snorkelling tour from Townsville. Combining the thrill of riding a jet ski with the opportunity to explore vibrant coral reefs, this guided adventure takes you across the crystal-clear waters of Cleveland Bay to some of Magnetic Island's most popular snorkelling locations.

Depending on weather and sea conditions, your experienced guides will select from Florence Bay, Arthur Bay or Nelly Bay, each offering excellent visibility, colourful coral formations and an abundance of marine life. These sheltered bays provide ideal conditions for both first-time and experienced snorkellers.

After a comprehensive safety briefing, you'll set off by jet ski towards Magnetic Island, taking in spectacular coastal scenery along the way. Once at the snorkelling site, you'll enter the water to explore coral gardens teeming with tropical fish and other marine creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park home.
