Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We recently took on the amazing experience of the Glasshouse Twister Tour with Jac. As a family of five with the 'kids' being 22, 20 and 18 and all as first time jet ski-ers, this was by far the most memorable part of our week-long holiday on the Sunshine Coast. Jac was professional, patient and fun all at the same time and while a couple of us were a bit slow to catch on, by the end we were having the time of our lives.

Had a great time with Jac and his crew. We set off just after 7am and got to experience the glassy sheets of the pumerstone passage. Jac took me through my comfort zones with the ski before we opened it up and had some serious fun. We managed to see some of the wild life and soak up what the Bribie Blast experience had to offer.
Apart from sore arms and a sore face from smiling, this was a 10/10 experience.

Absolutely amazing time, scary to start but if you hand in there you will get the hang of it and have the most fun
Beautiful scenery and even in windy weather was a blast

I booked the Glasshouse Twister jet ski ride with Caloundra Jetski for 1pm Friday 20th October 2023. I drove up from Brisbane and at about 12.30pm received a text saying that they were running late and that I needed to be at the meeting point at 1.15pm, this was fine. I arrived at 1.05pm and waited to be greeted, this went onto 1.35pm when I decided to leave as no one came to meet me, nor any update provided, I was not happy.
I jumped in my car and left to head back to Brisbane to receive a text message at 1.48pm asking where I was? I told them I had left, and they asked if I would come back. I said no I was not happy, they tried to ring, but didn’t want to listen to their excuses. There was no apology and no offer to refund the cost of $280 which was pre-paid.
On returning home to Brisbane I sent an email asking for a refund and received no reply. I again followed up on Monday 23rd October and again had no reply on a refund. It was obvious to me that they had taken a late booking on the Friday morning which impacted on my booked jet ski ride. They weren’t 15 minutes late as it ended up being over 45 minutes late!
Rather than owning up to the mistake and refunding my money, they treat me like I was at fault for not waiting around for them to turn up. It has been extremely poor communication and treatment and greed by Caloundra Jetski to push my booking and then blame me for their failure to manage their business.
I recommend not using Caloundra Jetski as you run the risk of losing $100’s of dollars due to no care for paid customers and no ownership of poor decisions by the owners.

Dear Brenton
We understand your frustration about the guide running late due to unforeseen circumstances. We also apologise for any miscommunication as we did not receive any emails from yourself. We did try to call you back to explain that there would no refund, we often have customers that arrive late from Brisbane due to traffic or unforeseen circumstances, we will 99 % of the time wait for them even if this delays the following tours afterwards.
We are extremely short staffed which is a huge Sunshine Coast issue for most businesses.
The text message to yourself from the guide did say we were running appropriately 15min late. Please note it is impossible for the guide to set up unload Jetskis at the ramp then rush to tow them across to Bullcock Beach at 6km per hour then hook them all up a to anchors ⚓️ rush up to the shop open up the shop , look for all the customers then call them as some were not outside the shop.
We then immediately called yourself at about 1.35 pm to see where you were you said you have already left. The guide asked if you could please return to the shop as we were prepared to wait for yourself to come back to the shop for the safety briefing which takes about 35 to 40 min ,you said no . This tour went ahead with the other customers who did not mind waiting.
Considering that you drove all the way from Brisbane an additional 30 to 40 min was not such a long time to wait.
Unfortunately we did not cancel the tour so no refund will be issued. We will however give you a credit to use at a time that is convenient for yourself and ourselves.
We believe this is a amicable solution for both parties.
Please contact us at you earliest convenience on 0434 330 660

Jac made us feel comfortable and competent as we were first time jet skiers. We had a great time and saw lots of birds and other wildlife. The views of the Glasshouse Mountains were amazing. We would thoroughly recommend Caloundra JetSki for a fun filled, adrenaline charged experience.

Yes renting a car is easiest way. There is public transport but it will take over 2hrs - you want to catch the Sunshine Coast train to Landsborough and catch a bus Fromm landsborough train station to Caloundra - Journeyplanner website (Translink) will give you the specifics.

Sorry for the late response.. I've only just discovered this Q&A section and will keep an eye on it in future. We don't have the capacity to do pick ups and drop offs but can help plan a way of getting to us.
