Overview

This 90-minute jet ski run starts at the City Botanic Gardens River Hub on Alice Street, right in the Brisbane CBD. After a full safety briefing on shore, riders get their own late-model Sea Doo and head out onto the Brisbane River with a guide leading the way. No licence is needed and no prior experience is required.

The route threads through the city centre, past the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and under the bridges, with the skyline, the casino precinct and the South Bank inner-city beach in view along the way. The run then continues downriver beneath the Gateway Bridge before turning back, passing sights such as Felons Brewing Co, the mansions on the riverbank, the Powerhouse and Eat Street Northshore. Guides point out landmarks as you go, and photos and videos are available from the tour.

It suits anyone who is comfortable in and around water and wants to see Brisbane from the river rather than the footpath. The operator supplies life vests, dry bags and sunscreen, and each ski has a 200kg weight limit. Reviewers describe the instructors as friendly and one called the whole process smooth and easy.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day easier, from what to wear to how the group runs.

Jet skis on the Brisbane River in evening light with the Story Bridge and city skyline.
  • What to bring. The listing recommends a hat, swimwear, a camera and sunscreen, though sunscreen is also available on site. Dry bags are provided if you want to keep belongings safe and dry on the water. Anything you bring is at your own risk, as loss or damage to personal items is not covered.
  • No experience needed. No licence and no prior jet ski experience are required, and every tour begins with a full safety briefing. One reviewer said the instructor made sure they were well prepared and felt safe the whole way.
  • Comfort in water. All guests must be capable and comfortable in and around water. The weight limit per jet ski is 200kg, which matters if two people plan to share one ski.
  • Group and guides. A guide leads the ride and shares commentary on the sights as you pass them.
  • Photos and video. Photos and videos are available from the tour, so you can ride without worrying about your own camera. The listing still lists a camera under what to bring, so a phone in a dry bag is a reasonable backup.
  • Weather and sun. You will be on open water for the full 90 minutes, so sun protection matters. Hats, sunscreen and swimwear are the practical choices, and the operator keeps sunscreen on hand if you forget yours.

Common issues. Pickup is not part of this tour, so travellers need to make their own way to 147 Alice Street in the city. A waiver and disclaimer must be signed before departure, and anyone not comfortable in or around water cannot take part. Loss or damage to personal items brought on the tour is excluded, so valuables are best left behind or secured in the provided dry bags. The 200kg per-ski weight limit also rules out some rider combinations.
