Shoddy operators

1.00We 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.

5.00What a great trip! We went for an hour Safari with Mac and Elias. There were 9 of us with varying abilities and everyone had a great time. The boys show you all you need to know about Jet skiing, they are safety conscious but you also get to travel at top speeds on the water. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It's the best thing we have done since being in QLD.
Check ahead.

3.00Check 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.
It was my first experience of jet skiing.

5.00I wasn't that good at English and I managed to make sense of the contents of the first video, but thanks to the Japanese speaking staff, I was able to successfully pass the test! And when I actually rode it, I thought it was going to be like this, but as soon as I got out to sea, I decided to cut it off at full throttle! We were over 70km/h 🙂 Adrenaline bursting out of our heads 😉 You can't ride without a licence in Japan, so I'd definitely recommend you try it here on the Gold Coast!
Unfair and unsafe business practices

1.00Booked 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.
Highly recommend

5.00We booked this jet ski experience last minute as two couples, with both husbands being very experienced riders. We chose to join a guided tour and it ended up being such a brilliant decision, it was so much fun! The team did an amazing job at working out who in the group was confident and who needed a bit more support, which meant everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We were able to head right up the coast, enjoy some stunning views, and really make the most of the ride. We booked the one-hour option and actually felt like we got a little more time on the skis, which was such a bonus. For the experience, the price felt very reasonable and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend, we had an absolute blast!
Awesome visit to the GC

5.00My son (11) and I had a fantastic time. Will 100% be doing it again when we come back. The skis and the staff are awesome! We had Kynan as our guide, I could be mistaken but I think it was his first day on the job and by god he didn’t disappoint. Thanks heaps to the JetSki Safari!!!
Fun time!

5.00Beautiful slalom at full speed in the lagoon covered with mangroves. Exceptional. Not the usual sky jet ride try it worth it.
