The cost is per jet ski. Each jet ski can carry a maximum of 2 passengers. Please book as many jet skis as you need.
Turn an Airlie Beach morning or afternoon into 1.5 hours at the controls of your own Sea-Doo, riding through Pioneer Bay with the coastline on one side and views towards the Whitsunday Islands on the other. Courtesy transfers from selected mainland Airlie Beach locations, riding gear and tour photos are included, so everything is organised from pickup to return.
After checking in at Coral Sea Marina, gear up for a thorough safety briefing, riding demonstration and on-water tuition. No jet ski licence or previous experience is required. Once everyone is comfortable with the controls, follow your guide out from the marina and build confidence as the group moves through Airlie’s protected coastal waters and beautiful bays.
The route blends faster stretches with stops for local commentary, photos and time to scan the water for marine life. Sea turtles are often seen around Pioneer Bay, while dugongs, seabirds and humpback whales between July and September may also appear. Wildlife moves freely through the Whitsundays, so every sighting is a natural bonus.
First-time riders benefit from clear instruction and ongoing guide support, while confident guests still have plenty of time to enjoy the Sea-Doo. The ride is active and you should expect to get wet. The route, pace and timing may be adjusted to suit wind and water conditions.
Great JetSki outing and Jackson was a great guide. Will definitely recommend
Josh was fantastic – always happy to have a chat and always checked in with us. Ripper bloke! Had an amazing time, thanks team! From Matt and Georgia

The complete experience takes about 2.5 hours. Approximately 1.5 hours is spent riding on the water, while the remaining time covers check-in, gear fitting, the safety briefing, riding demonstration and on-water tuition. Courtesy transfer time varies according to the selected pickup location.
No. A jet ski licence and previous riding experience are not required. Your guide explains the controls, demonstrates the riding technique and provides on-water tuition before the group begins the tour. Ongoing supervision continues throughout the ride.
An average level of fitness is expected. Water conditions can range from smooth to choppy, and the movement, spray and effort required to maintain your riding position make this an active experience. The route, pace or timing may be adjusted when conditions require it.
Both options are available. Each booking is priced per jet ski, which may be ridden solo or shared by two eligible guests. The price covers the jet ski whether you ride alone or add a second passenger.
Expect to get wet during the ride. Arrive wearing swimwear and bring a towel and sunscreen. Valuable items are best left at your accommodation, or they can be placed in the secure office at Coral Sea Marina during the tour.
Yes, but courtesy transfers are only available from selected mainland Airlie Beach locations. Guests staying on Hamilton Island or another Whitsunday island need to arrange their own transport to Airlie Adventure Central at Coral Sea Marina South Village and arrive in time for check-in.
No. Airlie Adventure is often called the Turtle Tour because sea turtles are regularly encountered around Pioneer Bay. Dugongs, seabirds and seasonal humpback whales may also be seen, but sightings depend on natural wildlife movement and water conditions.
Amazing experience, thrilling and exciting! I was a bit reluctant at first but you quickly learn to use it and the 60m distance from the next jet ski makes it safe throughout.
Really great! It’s a beautiful part of the country to be jet skiing about. Pheobe our tour guide was amazing- her boss owes her a beer!
Absolutely amazing! And so much fun! Our guide Sam was exceptional
