About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JackN29530 contributionsGreat ExperienceI had an absolute ball. A very professional organisation with a great customer focused team. If you have always wanted to try jet skiing and are not sure about the speed then do it with this team. You can go as fast as the machines will go, which is very fast, or be more cautious. The guides will ensure everyone has fun. It seemed to me that their operational protocols for the clients is: SAFETY! HAVE FUN! and - HAVE MORE FUN. Many thanks to Harry and his team.

Amazing team of enthusiastic people to take us through the safety and guide us on these powerful jet skis. I'm not sure if this a sensible activity for a 67 year old as my arms and legs ache from today's "workout" 🤣 Would do it again. Thank you JETSKISAFARIS for an unforgettable afternoon 😁👍👌Written 15 January 2025

- R9767UUrajeshr0 contributionsUnforgettable Jet Ski Experience with Jet Ski Safaris Gold Coast!From the moment we arrived, the team at Jet Ski Safaris made us feel incredibly welcome and at ease. As first-timers, we were a bit nervous, but Jed and Harry went above and beyond to calm our nerves with their cheerful conversations—especially about the India-Australia game—and patiently guided us through every step of the adventure. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail ensured our family had an absolutely memorable experience on the water. In fact, we loved it so much that we came back the very next day—and somehow, the experience was even better the second time around! A huge thank you to Jed, Harry, and the entire Jet Ski Safaris team for creating such an unforgettable experience for us. You've given us a fantastic reason to return to the Gold Coast. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting!Written 4 January 2025

Hands down one of the best activities I’ve done around the world. There’s no holding back with these guys if you’re an adrenaline junky and you’re confident it’s full steam ahead. But if you’re just learning they teach you there tricks of the trade to get you having fun.
Definitely do the 1.5hr or more so you get the stop on the island and have a cold one.
P.S
Shout Out to Benji, absolute good bugger and one hell of a rider ! Make sure he’s your guide.
Cheers team I’ll be back !!

I would totally recommend this experience! It was SO worth the money! We had the best time and were buzzing on adrenaline when we got back, so much so we forgot to collect our photos. The entire event was particularly well organised and professional. We were just day trippers down from Brisbane, but I would highly recommend this to anyone, particularly holiday makers. The only thing that beats the Jet Ski experience in adrenaline is jumping out of a plane, but this is a close 2nd place!

What an amazing day out - mum, dad and 15 & 12yo kids absolutely loved it. Beautiful scenery, loads of high adrenaline fun. The safety briefing was clear and effective, making us confident once on the water.
Once out of the marina we did a test run, and then we all set off. There was catering for all speed preferences through loop arounds to let any trailing skis catch up.
At halfway, the kids got to take the helm, but safety cutoff cord stays with the parent.
Even for jaded teenagers this was an amazing experience, and we always felt comfortable and confident with the great job from Tom our guide. It’s something to totally different for us - we aren’t speed addicts, which is what made it such a fun and novel thing to do.

Went way too fast. Ruined my 13 year olds first time going by berating him for going too slow. My son actually handled himself really well and kept a safe distance and watched out for boats and his surroundings. The surf was rough and he rode to the conditions and did not deserve to be yelled at by the guide. Very expensive mistake for this single mother.

AWESOME!!!!!!
Had THE most fun at Jet Ski Safaris. Very attentive staff who looked after us the entire trip. Slowly ramped up the pace until we were comfortable and at the end we were catching some air going over the waves. Beautiful scenery and the perfect location for breakfast. Would highly recommend and we’ll be back on our next holiday to the Gold Coast.

Great fun, friendly staff and a fabulous morning out. Brief induction & check that you can control a wave runner, then blast through the Broadwater. The cafe at Tipplers has good quality food, I recommend the breakfast run as a great start to the day & best chance of light winds (less chop). Thanks JSSGC!

Fantastic tour, it was fast but did accommodate the slower riders by doing a fast circle and allowing slower riders to catch up, rather than stopping and waiting. Tom and Chris were fantastic and organised. Felt safe at all times.
Highlight of our surfers trip, highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic way to spend half a day!. My Daughter and I joined the 9:00 departure (Arriving at 8:30am to sign on). After a brief safety induction, we were underway, jumping on some super stable Seadoo Jetski's, and headed down the waterway to a holding area. Here, we got to float around a bit and take in the view, which was fantastic from where we were. From there, we did a bit of a shakedown sprint, so the guides could determine who was going to ride faster and who would be slower, allowing the speed-freaks to hoot along at the front, and the slower ones to trail. When we got too far ahead, we did some giant (and very fun!) donuts, waiting for the slow-pokes to catch up. Such a great route, up through the channels and meandering through the islands, with a stop at Tipplers on south straddie for a quick beverage. Straight back on again, hooting home at full pelt. This was a VERY fun day, and my 11 year old adrenaline-junkie daughter absolutely loved it! We also added the parasailing to the end, well worth it.
Whilst it states its a 1.5 hour safari, it takes much longer, and i feel like 1.5 hours is how long you're actually hooting around on the jet ski for, so I think it's a perfect length for beginners and intermediates, much longer and you might start getting pretty sore I reckon.
Our tour guide Dane was an absolute legend, very patient and accommodating, made us all feel welcome and kept everything under great control. Highly recommend you put this experience at the top of your list next time you're at the coast!

Such a great experience! The thrill level is quite high, especially as it got choppier on the way back, so would recommend to anyone willing. All of the staff were wonderful, our guides were Loz and Johnty and they were lovely throughout the whole experience ☺️
