Overview

This two-hour guided jet ski tour starts on the Brisbane River at Breakfast Creek, Newstead, then opens out into Moreton Bay. From there the route follows the west coast of Moreton Island, weaving past sandbanks and shallow turquoise channels, with stops around several islands. Mud Island is a bird sanctuary, St Helena Island was once a colonial-era prison site, and Green Island sits tucked behind mangroves with shallow water around it.

Marine life is a big part of the draw. Dolphins sometimes cruise alongside the skis, turtles surface nearby, and humpback whales pass offshore between June and September, though sightings can never be guaranteed. An experienced guide leads the whole way and slows down along the Moreton coastline.

Pricing works per ski rather than per person, and a second rider on the same ski is included at no extra charge. No licence is needed. It is aimed at riders who want a shorter but full coastal run close to Brisbane, and the weight and age limits are listed in the booking details.
