Surfers Paradise: Jet Ski and Jet Boat Package — A Thrilling Water Adventure

If you’re looking for a way to feel the wind in your hair and the spray of the ocean on your face, the Jet Ski and Jet Boat combo from Odyssey Jet Ski Tours in Surfers Paradise might just be what you need. This experience promises a blend of high-speed fun and breathtaking scenery, all wrapped into a manageable 3.5 to 5 hours of pure adrenaline. While it’s not a cheap day out, the mix of two activities ensures you get excellent value for money — especially if you love water-based excitement.
What makes this tour stand out? We love the experienced guides who keep safety at the forefront while making sure everyone has an absolute blast. Plus, the combination of jet boating and jet skiing offers a dynamic way to see the Gold Coast from different perspectives. One thing to keep in mind: the tour is only available from early February to mid-December, so if you’re planning a holiday over the summer months, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
This experience is ideal for adventurers, water sports enthusiasts, or anyone craving a memorable dose of adrenaline. However, it’s not suited for pregnant women, those with recent surgeries or back problems, or travelers under the age of 7. It’s also worth noting that transport between activities isn’t included, so be prepared to move around during your day of fun.

A Deep Dive into the Experience

The Odyssey Jet Ski Tours‘ package gives you a solid taste of what makes the Gold Coast so appealing — its lively waterways and scenic islands. The tour kicks off at their base behind the JW Marriott Hotel in Surfers Paradise, where you’ll meet your guides — a team known for their friendly professionalism and safety-first attitude. Expect to arrive about 30 minutes early to get fitted with safety gear and go over instructions, especially for first-timers.
The Jet Boat Experience
Your day begins with the thrilling jet boat ride — probably the most adrenaline-packed segment. These boats are high-performance, designed to spin, slide, and carve through the water at speeds that make your stomach flip. One reviewer highlights the “unbeatable rush” of spinning and sliding through the Gold Coast waterways, an experience that truly gets the heart pumping. The boat will navigate past iconic sights and perhaps even some hidden spots only accessible by watercraft, offering a fresh perspective of the city’s coastline.
The Jet Ski Adventure
Following the boat ride, you’ll hop on a high-performance jet ski — a highlight for many. The guided tour around Surfers Paradise rivers and nearby islands lets you take control, feeling the power of the machine as you blast through the water at your own pace. One reviewer noted: “Feeling the speed and maneuvering the jetski was exhilarating,” and another added, “The guides made sure everyone felt confident and safe, even if it was their first time.”
More Great Tours NearbyViews and Photo Opportunities
Throughout both activities, you’ll enjoy panoramic vistas of the Gold Coast. Expect to glimpse some of the city’s best-known landmarks from the water, with the coast stretching out on one side and lush islands on the other. The tour’s timing typically allows for great lighting, perfect for photos — especially if you bring your smartphone charged and ready.

Transportation and Logistics

Your jet skiing departs from the marina behind the JW Marriott, and the jet boat activity may take place at a different location. Make sure to factor in some extra time and possibly arrange your own transport if needed. Participants are advised to arrive 30 minutes early, so plan your day accordingly.
