About this tour
Throttle across the World Heritage Whitsunday Marine Park on a guided jet ski tour departing from Airlie Beach.

No licence or prior experience needed—just swimming ability and moderate fitness. The 2.5-hour ride includes kit, guide, hotel transfers and all safety gear.

What to expect
You'll collect safety gear and full riding apparel before a rundown on throttle control and hand signals. Your guide leads the group across open water at pace, with stops to take in the islands and wildlife. The Turtle Tour often encounters sea turtles in shallow bays. Two Island Safari navigates tighter waterways between islands. The Ultimate Island Trek covers more distance and includes a beachside lunch break. Expect wind, spray, and the physical demands of gripping the handlebars for 2.5 hours. Routes operate in most weather, so come prepared for variable conditions.
