About this tour
Throttle across Brisbane River on a personal jet ski for 70 minutes, launching from Breakfast Creek in Newstead. You'll navigate beneath the city's bridges and past iconic landmarks while feeling the river's pulse beneath you. This isn't sightseeing from a tour bus—you're driving the action, carving through calm stretches as the skyline rewards your effort. An in-person guide leads the way; safety briefing and life jacket included. Maximum two riders per ski.
Highlights
- Pilot your own jet ski for 70 minutes of river time
- Weave beneath Brisbane's bridges and past architectural landmarks
- See the city skyline from the water, not a coach window
- Depart from Breakfast Creek in Newstead
- Professional safety briefing and life jacket provided
- Wheelchair accessible facility with accessible surfaces
What to expect
You'll start with a thorough safety briefing on land, then climb aboard. The guide leads from their own ski, setting a pace that lets you handle the throttle with confidence. Expect calm river stretches ideal for building your rhythm, punctuated by tighter sections that demand sharper turns. The 70 minutes includes riding time—you're active the entire duration, so bring genuine fitness and a willingness to get soaked. The city reveals itself differently from the water: bridges frame close overhead, the skyline grows with each river bend, and the river's surface becomes your playground rather than a barrier.
Good to know
Bring photo ID if you're driving. Pack sunscreen, a towel, and sunglasses with a head strap—losing your glasses mid-ride is easy. Wear casual water-appropriate clothes. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or poor cardiovascular health. Two people maximum per ski. Multiple skis require separate booking on their site.
