Hands down the best experience our captain was so nice
My boys absolutely loved it
The guide/captain was the best

Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful.
I believe this would be a fun experience for kids. As an adult, maybe not so much. I recommend goggles! The salt water stayed in our eyes constantly. It made it hard to keep them open to enjoy the experience. The boat is fast and jerks you around a lot which was expected. It can be hard to see anything from the boar as well. I was just hoping to get better views of the area, it was hard to do.

Jet Boat Extreme on the Gold Coast was absolutely amazing! The ride was thrilling from start to finish — full of speed, spins, and splashes that kept us laughing and screaming the whole time. The driver was fun and made the experience even better. The views of the coastline were beautiful, and the adrenaline rush was unbeatable. Definitely a must-do when visiting the Gold Coast!

A load of fun to be had. Staff were courteous, willing to help out and made the trip sensational. The driver was very experienced; however I never lost my hat like he promised !
Lynn_G, Feb 2025
Good fun especially if you like
fast boats, but be prepared to get wet especially if you sit on the sides. You can wear waterproof coats but I still managed to get very wet
Simon_W, Dec 2024
Great thing to do whilst on GC. Isaac was an awesome guide and getting wet on a hot GC day is very refreshing. Tons of fun!
Cliff_M, Dec 2024

Today, we had the incredible experience of riding the Extreme Jetboat, and wow, what a thrill! It was a fun-filled, exhilarating adventure. Toby, our driver and stuntman, was absolutely amazing. His fantastic hospitality and ability to make us all laugh truly enhanced our experience. Thank you, Toby—we'll definitely be back next time!

The jet boat ride was unreal. Toby the driver did an excellent job of informing and entertaining I highly recommend this to anybody visiting the Gold coast. It is an absolute must do attraction and these guys are as good as anybody out there. A+++
David_W, May 2024
Had a great time, Toby was our driver. He was both entertaining in his commentary and professional in his operating skills of that Jet boat. We experienced this early May as a business activity and the whole team loved it. Highly recommend it.

A very interesting experience, the staff are also very friendly and enthusiastic. Not only is it an exciting boat ride, the staff will also introduce you to the scenery along the way.

Denis_D, Feb 2024
Fantastic fun with the very professional Mike at the controls of our jet boat,didn't think a boat this size and with so many people on board could run so close to the beach and complete these amazing manoeuvres in such a smooth controlled manner
Taylor_R, Jan 2024
Inexpensive and great way to spend an hour on the water. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking about it.
HOTAI_W, Dec 2023
It is a great Jet boat experience, our captain Mike is professional and skillful. It is safe and fun. See family brought their kids too. Staff will arrange the seat to balance the boat, so don't expect you can seat on particular location, just enjoy it!
David_F, Nov 2023
We got soaked but it was so much fun. Wanted to do it again straight away but will need to be patient. This 60+ will definitely do again. Hamish the boat driver was knowledgeable about his boat and wonderful with a little lad who got motion sickness.
Mansi_B, Oct 2023
A thrilling experience with Hamish. The jet ride is absolutely a necessary thing to do while in the Gold Coast. I went on this ride with my mom and best friend and we had a time of our lives. We enjoyed to the fullest and would have definitely missed the best thing had we not gone onboard.
Rebecca_C, Sep 2023
Fantastic experience, my hubby loved it for his birthday present.
Steve was very professional, great sense of humour. We’d definitely go again!
