Jet boat ride very good.

We found it on internet. Jet boat ride was really good. But our helicopter ride was cancelled due to availability issue. Bad experience for helicopter ride. Jet boat extreme was great fun.

Jetti ride driver was super fun. Helicopter ride staff was quite direct and non amusing but overall experience was good..

Great rides

Nigel_A, Dec 2024
Both the jet boat and chopper ride was fabulous. The only disappointment was the office ground crew at the chopper ride. We were lead to a room to watch a safety briefing (10mins), then abandoned for 25mins. No communication at all.

A must try things to do in Gold Coast

A well planned itinerary starts with fast speed extreme jet Boating then relax and fly up the sky in helicopter for a scenic flight! Perfect match! Must try when you are in Gold Coast !

AWESOME

My two grandchildren said being up so high that all the buildings and cars looked like they were looking at a lego city. They also loved wearing the head set and did not stop talking. They said it was amazing.

The boat ride was great fun. Although, we did get wet even with the rain coats on, we did not mind it one bit. It was exhilarating.

This experience was very well...

Clare M, Aug 2014
This experience was very well organised. I did also like the way that the people on the helicopter tour aswell were made not to get too wet on the jet boat ride. Really high adrenaline loved it.

The jet boat ride made this package...

The jet boat ride made this package with it. If could re do would only do jetboat. That was amazing, well worth every second of it, do it again ourselves. The helicopter was a big let down, they had taken two many walk ins for the same time so we had a long long wait to go up and there were no close bathrooms especially as you have just had almost and hour on the jetboat. The flight itself was good, but the pilot was a let down as he never said a word during the flight to point anything out. Thankfully my wife had been to GC before so knew were things were so could point them out to myself and other two on the fight, Jet boat yes, pick another company for the flight, they seem to be all about the money and nothing about customer satisfaction.

Really fun tour--everyone involved was...

Superb thanks, the whole tour ran very smoothly a special thank you to the boarding team behind the Vibe Hotel who were very helpful and informative. All in all a wonderful experience.

びしょ濡れになります。

KEIKO_K, Nov 2018
ジェットボートは最初はエキサイティングで楽しかったですが、これでもかというくらい360度回転や高速蛇行などするので、少し酔ってしまいました。家内は大丈夫でした。バシャバシャと海水をかぶりズボンとシャツはびしょびしょで、高速で風を受けるので寒くなります。着替える場所はありません。スニーカーだったら脱いで乗船した方が良いです。その後、ヘリコプターに乗るので、乗船の際は自分の荷物はくれたビニール袋に入れ一緒に持って行きます。ジェットボートの帰る途中にヘリポートで降ろされ乗船した場所には戻りません。濡れた衣服のままヘリコプターに乗るので始めはぶるぶるふ震えてました。ヘリコプターの受付の人が見かねてタオルを貸してくれたので助かりました。ヘリコプターは操縦士を含め4人乗りで乗客は私たち二人のみ。10分の遊覧時間はきれいな景色に見とれあっという間でした。サーフーアズパラダイスまでは各人で帰ります。少し酔ってびじょ濡れになり寒くてまいったけど、とっても良い思い出になりました。値段もヘリコプターに乗るのを考えれば日本で乗るより安いしお勧めです。2018OCT28参加。
