Shoddy operators

Rebecca_S, Jan 2026
We had a collision on the jetski expedition whereby we were immediately threatened with $1500+ costs as per terms and conditions. The "discussion" re damages was very poorly handled by the head operator. In a crowded group of 30+ returned jetskiiers and another group forming we were offered an alternative to pay $500 upfront (eftpos machine very quickly whipped out). Whilst i acknowledge a collision occurred as per the operators (i was not on the expedition as it was just my sons) I was very poorly hoodwinked into paying $500 without any proper consultation and no documentation offered for protection of potential future liability. VERY unprofessionally handled as we were put on the spot in a crowded situation. They just wanted it to go away and get the $$ and i was not properly advised to consider the options. They took the money and ran - i paid the $500 as i didn't want to ruin an otherwise fun experience for my kids and knew they had me over a barrel with T&Cs. But their handling of the issue was shoddy, suspect and extremely unprofessional.

Check ahead.

Check with the actual company before going. Our Viator time and location did not match up with the company doing the tour. Luckily we were early and out time was an hour later than the Viator app listed.

Unfair and unsafe business practices

Ronald_L, Dec 2025
Booked a 1.5 hour jet ski trip for the two of us for $250 US.When the operator realized we only needed one jetski,he still charged us for two. My girlfriend got sick on the initial ride out,so we had to return before the tour even started.They still charged us,no refunds.Tour had way too many people and way too many inexperienced drivers. I find this lack of a refund very unfair.

Amazing Experience

Emmanuel_T, Jun 2025
Great for first timers. The guys have so much patience and they take safety very seriously. It was a little terrifying at first trying to control the jet ski, but once you get the hang of it, you will have so much fun!!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😄 We’re so glad you felt supported and safe—especially as a first-timer. It can be a bit nerve-wracking at first, but it’s awesome to hear you pushed through and had a blast! Hope to see you back out on the water again soon!

whole thing takes almost 2.5 hrs, consider checking in and safety talks, but great fun and well worth it.

Thrill at its best

Gargi_A, May 2024
I rode over waves at full throttle very many times and experienced adrenaline rush like never before. Appreciate the detailed safety instructions, jet ski operation guidance, brief training on waters closer to the shore, before we hit to the main event. All the above gave me confidence to enjoy the experience and also gave me the experience that I was looking for. I and my spouse rode solo and enjoyed our ride. We'd surely look forward to doing this again in future!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

What an epic review! We're so glad you both had a great time with us from start to finish! We hope to see you again some time soon!

Very disrespectful guide …

Francisco_Z, May 2022
Charly was very kind and helpful as a guide, but there was a guy called Kim that who was very disrespectful and rude as a guide that made us the experience no much enjoyable…. No recommended …

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Francisco, Thanks for your review. We apologise for any miscommunication between your group and Kym during your safety briefing time. Customer safety is extremely important to us, unfortunately there was a bit of a language barrier and Kym was simply trying to help you complete your test before departing on tour. We do feel as though your one star review is a little harsh as you did have a pleasurable experience with our other staff and we also recall you leaving extremely happy after your tour, also receiving a free photo package before you left also. Nevertheless, we never want any of our staff to leave dissatisfied. If you wish to speak to our manager again, please contact us directly on 0409 754 538.

1st time definitely not my last

David_F, May 2022
Went with my dad on the 1hr tour. Was the best experience I’ve had thus far. We could go as fast as you can handle as long as you followed at a safe distance. The tour guides were pretty epic also.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks for the awesome review David! We're so glad you had a great time! We hope to see you back again soon!

Sex on a ski

David_F, May 2022
First time for us and we both had such an incredible high. Loved all of it. Even when you are launched out of the water when you hit a wave or rough water and you hope you land okay. When you do it really gets the adrenaline flowing

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks for the amazing review David! We're glad you had such an awesome time! See you again soon for perhaps one of the longer island stop tours to really get the blood pumping!
