Whitsundays Islands 1.5-Hour Guided Jet Ski Tour

Ride your own jet ski from Airlie Beach on a guided Whitsundays tour, with all gear, marine sightings, and round-trip transfers included.

Getting started

Arrive at the meeting point in Airlie Beach and check in with your ID and ticket. Before the guided jet ski tour begins, you will attend a mandatory pre-tour safety briefing that explains how to operate the jet ski, safety procedures, and the route for your 1-hour or 1.5-hour session. Meet your experienced tour guide, get fitted with your life jacket, stinger suit, rash or thermal top, wetsuit shorts, polarised sunglasses, riding hat, and sunscreen.

What to expect

Whitsundays Island Cruise

Head out from Airlie Beach on your guided jet ski tour, following your experienced tour guide along the bays and coastline with views of the Whitsunday Islands.

Features

• Ride your own jet ski from Airlie Beach for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, depending on the option you select, as your guide leads the group and provides live commentary throughout.

• Take in views of Airlie Beach’s coastline and tropical island scenery while you move across the water, combining a fast-paced ride with time to appreciate the surroundings.

• Watch for marine wildlife such as sea turtles, dugongs, seabirds, and, in the right season, humpback whales, as your guide points out sightings along the way.

• Make use of all included riding apparel and safety gear, including life jackets, stinger suits, rash tops or thermal tops, wetsuit shorts, polarised sunglasses, riding hats, and sunscreen, so you do not need to bring your own equipment.

• Use the round-trip bus transfers within the Airlie Beach area to reach and return from the departure point, keeping transport simple before and after your time on the water.

Wrapping up

At the end of your guided jet ski tour, you will return to Airlie Beach, hand back your riding apparel, and use the included round-trip bus transfer to head back to your pickup area. If you select the 1-hour jet ski safari option instead of the 1.5-hour tour, you follow the same safety briefing and guided format, with a shorter time on the water but the same focus on marine wildlife sightseeing and informative commentary.
