About this tour
Blast 230 kilometres across Queensland waters in a single day, riding your own Sea-Doo from the Gold Coast to Tangalooma and back. This 10-hour jetski marathon takes you past dolphins, whales, turtles, dugongs and rays—some spotted near recognised landmarks, others in lesser-known pockets your guide knows well. It's physically demanding and genuinely extreme; not a cruise, but a proper endurance run for riders comfortable at speed on open water.

What to expect
Ten hours of continuous riding across open ocean. Expect periods of acceleration, sharp turns, and exposure to sun, spray, and wind—your guide will stop at notable marine viewing zones, but this isn't a leisurely float. You'll cover serious distance. Marine life appears unpredictably; seeing whales or dugongs isn't guaranteed, but the route passes through active feeding and migration corridors. Your body will feel it: core and arms engage constantly to balance and steer. Weather and sea state dictate pace and comfort.
Good to know
Wear long sleeves and slather sunscreen—reflection off water intensifies burn. Dress for air temperature, not water temperature. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Bring water and snacks if allowed. Public transport reaches the departure point.
