Make a splash in Cairns with an adrenaline-pumping jet ski adventure on Trinity Inlet. With no license or prior experience required, this activity is perfect for both first-timers and thrill-seekers. Your experience begins with a full safety briefing and equipment setup from expert instructors before hitting the water.
Choose from two exciting options. The 1-hour Speed & Scenery Tour takes you deep into Trinity Inlet, where you’ll race past rusted shipwrecks, explore secluded islands, and weave through winding mangrove channels. Expect high-speed turns, plenty of spray, and breathtaking scenery — the ultimate package of speed, nature, and adventure.
Short on time? The 30-minute Speed & Scenery Tour keeps the energy high with an action-packed ride along the main river channel. Blast across open waters with Cairns’ skyline behind you and rainforest hills in the distance. While shorter, it’s still a thrilling and unforgettable way to experience Cairns from the water.
Please note: The price is per jet ski, not per person.
Perfect! The team is really great, the jet-ski is great. A very pleasant one-hour class by the mangrove and at sea. I will come back.
Staff were friendly. Gave us a safety tutorial and a test to make sure we knew what we were doing before letting us go. Stayed close enough during the trip to feel protected and safe while letting us enjoy our autonomy and maybe go fasssstttt (but not irresponsible- just fun)! Environment for the ride was gorgeous!

The displayed price is per jet ski. One jet ski can be ridden solo or shared by two guests, so book one ski for each solo rider or pair in your group. Tandem riders must remain within the 230 kg combined weight limit and meet the participation requirements shown on the page.
Yes. No previous jet ski experience is needed. Before the ride, the team explains the controls and safety rules and gives you time to become comfortable with the jet ski. The guide stays nearby on the water, helping first-time riders build confidence while still enjoying the speed and scenery.
Allow around one hour for the 30-minute option or around 90 minutes for the 60-minute option. This includes arriving 30 minutes early for check-in, the waiver, safety briefing and equipment setup before your time on the water.
Yes. Secure storage is available at the floating office at B Finger, Cairns Marina. Backpacks, phones and other loose belongings should be left there before heading onto the water.
Phones are not permitted on the jet ski, so leave yours in secure storage before the ride. Photography is available at the location for an additional cost, giving you the option to take home action shots without carrying a device on the water.
Yes. Trinity Inlet is home to crocodiles and native birdlife, and the longer option travels deeper into the mangrove-lined waterways where there is more time to look for wildlife. Sightings vary naturally, while the scenery and jet ski ride remain the main experience.
Light tropical rain does not necessarily stop the tour, and the ride can still go ahead when conditions are suitable. If wind or water conditions are unsuitable, another date or a refund will be arranged.
Very lucky to do this as the only person on the tour. Saw crocs and cool scenery & went fast on a jetski…. win win. Nice relaxed, easy going guide made it very enjoyable.
Thoroughly enjoyed. Our instructor was very good who took some really good photographs. We also spotted a crocodile.
Brilliant 30 minute JetSki session! Absolutely exhilarating experience reaching high espresso & loved the weaving among boats & even sighting crocodiles. So many thrills, I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kye was excellent. Service was first class. Instructions and great demeanor made the jetski trip an absolute pleasure. Would recommend to anyone!!! 😁
Really helpful instructor took us through all the safety and how to ride instructions. Have never ridden before and had a great time.
