The Journey
Your adventure begins on the Brisbane River, where the city
skyline slowly fades behind you as the bay opens up ahead.
Feel the excitement build as you carve your way across the wide blue stretches
of Moreton Bay, passing sandbanks, mangrove forests, and calm protected shoals.
As you draw closer to Kooringal, the water transforms into
brilliant shades of emerald and turquoise, signalling your arrival at this
peaceful island escape.
The Experience
Kooringal offers a true taste of island life.
Once ashore, take time to swim in the crystal-clear shallows, stroll along
untouched sandbars, or simply relax and breathe in the tranquillity of the
island.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to the famous Gutter Bar,
where you can enjoy a refreshing drink and taste fresh oysters harvested from
the nearby oyster farms—a signature experience unique to this part of Moreton
Island.
Throughout the journey, keep your eyes open for dolphins, turtles,
dugongs, and, during the late whale season, the chance to spot a humpback whale
passing through the bay.
After your island break, gear up for the scenic,
exhilarating ride back across Moreton Bay toward Brisbane.

We enjoyed stunning views of Townsville and completed a full lap around the island, getting up close to the beautiful rock formations in each bay. A highlight was stopping for some bait fish snorkeling, an unforgettable addition to an already fantastic tour.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover the island from the water in a fun, safe, and adventurous way!
At 61, this was a real bucket list experience for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While calm waters might have been easier, the rough conditions actually made it even more exciting and fun. On the other side, we decided not to swim, and the return trip was even rougher – which turned out to be the highlight of the day.
Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable adventure. I highly recommend Poseidon Adventures.
Blake….our guide & instructor is outstanding!!! Not only is he very knowledgeable, professional & safety conscious for all participants & other vessels in the area….he is such a genuinely top guy who makes the entire experience outstanding because of his cool, calm & fun personality!!!
4 out of our group had never been on a jet ski ever….Blake made it super easy & safe for everyone & within 10 to 15 minutes…our first time riders in our group were confident & having so much fun!!!
Such an awesome experience!!!
After our session….the chatter in our car leaving was….”Omg….that was the coolest fun ever…can we buy a jet ski or can we do that again soon..?!!”
Priceless!!!
Thanks heaps Blake!!🤝🤙
We were a family of 8 and we all enjoyed it. We saw lots of sea turtles and an osprey as well as learning about the sacred places of the local tribe, and about Palm Island.
We chose to do the earliest availability as the weather wasn’t in our favour later on!
It was my first “real” time on a JetSki and Wow it was so much fun!
Felt safe but also was able to go as fast as we could! (I do ride motorcycle so the need for speed was definitely needed)
Being able to ride the JetSki around Townsville to Bay Rock!
On the way back we got through some rain which for me was an epic experience to be able to ride through and still have fun - we were already wet from the snorkel before but not once felt cold
Definitely recommend anyone to jump on and support Lucas!
He patiently accommodated my exuberant throttle applications and it was a great way to start the morning in general. Would highly recommend!
Nice late model Seadoo jetskis are very stable, and experienced guides made it an easy and safe experience.
