About this tour
Tear across Pumicestone Passage on a jetski for 90 minutes of flat-out speed and island-hopping. This Brisbane adventure traces the route explorer Matthew Flinders once charted, but trades his ship for pure adrenaline. You'll carve tight turns, hit open water, and keep eyes peeled for dolphins, turtles, and dugongs cruising these wildlife-rich shallows. A guide leads the charge, and you'll pocket digital photos to prove you survived.
Highlights
- Figure-eight manoeuvres and high-speed circuits on open ocean
- Weave between island clusters at pace
- Spot dolphins, turtles, and dugongs in their habitat
- Follow Matthew Flinders' historic passage route
- Professional guide and complimentary action shots
What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and gear-up, then launch into open water with your guide setting the tempo. Expect sustained speed, quick directional shifts, and the full force of ocean spray. The route takes you through narrow channels between islands and into wider passages where you can really open the throttle. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but happen regularly—scan the shallows as you cruise. Most of the 90 minutes involves active riding; there's minimal downtime. Wear a wetsuit or waterproof jacket; you will get wet.
