Itinerary

There's only one 1.5 hour jet ski tour in Cairns, and this is it. No other operator on this coastline runs anything this long. You'll meet at the Jetski Cairns desk inside the Pier Shopping Centre, opposite the marina, for gear fitting and a safety briefing. No licence or experience needed. Your guide is a Cairns local holding a Coxswain Grade 3 licence, PWC and marine licence, and first aid certification, so you're in good hands from the first minute. From the marina you'll cruise out through Cairns Harbour, the Esplanade sliding past on your left, before the water opens up and you point north past Holloways Beach and Yorkeys Knob. The creeks fall away as the run opens to Palm Cove, where you'll loop the islands near Double Island. On a clear day, the reef appears right beneath you, one of the few jet ski tours anywhere that puts you over it. You're riding a Sea-Doo jet ski with Bluetooth speakers, capped at 70 km/h (43 mph), built for open water. Past the sheltered inlet, wind and swell can shape the ride more than on our shorter tour. If conditions turn, you'll usually get the full 1.5 hours through the sheltered inlet instead, so the adventure never gets cut short.
