23 Nov 25 : Shane, Denver and Benji were awesome on the 2.5 hour tour.
Just a suggestion: To provide each customer with a big bag to store their items. To avoid complete knuckleheads taking your personal items as and when they like. Or emphasise to NOT TAKE BELONGINGS OF OTHERS. Add that on the test 😂.
Thanks to the bloke and lady at the counter for helping me out.
Other than that, great fun, thanks lads.

Great fun day. Even though I decided not to try to drive myself jet ski they were very accommodating and offered me to ride with one of instructors as a passenger. Team is very knowledgeable and security was high priority for them. Highly recommended

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!

Amazing experience. The whole team were awesome from sign in to finish. Did the 30 minute safari as a birthday present for my daughter but wish we did longer. Such good value for money. Harry and Jade were fantastic guides who made sure we were safe and comfortable. My son even got a VIP trip on the back of Jades’ ski which made the time even better. I feel like this is a must do if visiting the Gold Coast. Something we will never forget.

We’re a family of seven, ranging in age from 11 to 60, and we did the 4-hour Mega Jet Ski Safari today. What an incredible experience! None of us had ever even sat on a jet ski before, but the team made us feel completely comfortable and confident right from the start. The tour itself was absolutely breathtaking and filled with so much fun and laughter. It was hands-down one of the best family adventures we’ve ever done. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good mix of excitement, scenery, and quality whānau time 🥰
Shout out to Tellen & Adrian for looking after us today

Amazing experience! Did the hour long or hour and a half I think it was, amazing! Great experience. They give you a waterproof box for your phone and make a stop to take photos at a halfway point. They explained everything very well, explained all the safety and were thorough. Everyone is well looked after and I loved every second of the experience! 100% would go again.

We had such an amazing time riding Jetskis! At one point, we accidentally lost our key and were really worried, but all the staff were so kind and helpful. They patiently helped us search, even checked the CCTV, and another staff member finally found it on the life jacket and returned it to us. We are so grateful for their effort and friendliness! The whole experience was not only fun and exciting, but also made us feel very well taken care of. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience learning with Benji as my jet ski instructor. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable, safe, and confident on the water. His instructions were clear, professional, and easy to follow, but what really stood out was his patience and enthusiasm.
Benji has a great way of balancing safety with fun—he explains everything thoroughly while still making the session exciting and enjoyable. He knows the local area really well and shared great tips that made the ride even more memorable.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your skills, I highly recommend Benji. He’s knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, I had one of the best jet ski experiences ever!
I would highly recommend this place for you're ultimate jet ski tour.

Jet Ski Adventure with My Grandson
To the lads at the Marriot location Sorry, this has taken so long .
In February I had the absolute pleasure of taking my grandson on a jet ski adventure with Jet Ski Safaris Gold Coast, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we've ever shared.
From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The lads who looked after us were absolute legends—friendly, professional, and full of energy. They made sure we were safe, confident, and most importantly, having a blast. Their guidance and good humor turned a great day into an unforgettable one.
We tore across the water and shared plenty of laughs. My grandson was beaming the whole time and seeing him so thrilled made it all the more special for me.
To the owner of this awesome adventure company—do the right thing and shout the boys a beer or two. They truly deserve it for the way they looked after us and made the day so memorable.
If you're looking for a thrilling, family-friendly experience on the Gold Coast, Jet Ski Safaris is the way to go. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

We had an amazing time with JetSki Safaris.
Me and my partner doubled on a JetSki and did the 2.5hr trip. We enjoyed it a lot and for the price it seem really fair. We felt like we got our moneys worth and had a lot of fun. Our tour guides were Jake and Caleb, and they were very helpful and friendly and made sure no one was left behind. Stopping at Tipplers was a pretty spot for a drink.

I booked the 1 hour Jet Ski Safari as a birthday surprise for my partner, and I knew he would love it! Before booking, I read the reviews and knew it could get quite wavy and that you have to ride at high speeds. If you're confident on the water, enjoy speed, and love adrenaline, it’s definitely worth it.
I didn’t dare to drive myself because the speed scared me. But to be fair, I never actually tried. Maybe being a passenger or just watching makes it seem more intimidating than it really is. But my partner? Omg, he absolutely loved it! The birthday surprise was a total success.
However, the organization was a bit chaotic at times, we weren’t always sure whether to follow or just ride in circles. A clearer structure would have made the experience even better.
I also have to praise the photographer. The pictures turned out amazing!
Four stars because it’s not for everyone, and the organization could be improved, but for adrenaline lovers, it’s absolutely perfect!

The only thing I would add is saying that the actual time you arrive at the meet point to leaving for the day is around 2.5-3 hours, so you'll need more sunscreen than you think you'll need

Great Saturday afternoon ride with my son as the sun set on the glittering Gold Coast water ways. The 1/2 hour ride gives you plenty of fun and seems to last longer than the time suggests. Our guide Stu set a good pace and made sure everyone was well looked after. Even the safety briefing was done with enthusiasm and good humor, getting everyone up to speed. Great activity for some thrills. Would consider going back and getting in some more sights on a one hour tour.

Very good experience with jet ski safari. I joined the 1 hour safari. They did a safety instruction briefing and a short quiz. It was fun and important to get the knowledge about water traffic. Then our guide Liam and Mack took us for the ride after a short test run. They made sure that we had good fun following their path and doing the big turns. Definitely the best activity in my life. Thanks Jet ski safari for making this so fun, safe and affordable!

This was my second time so I knew what to expect, my gf on the other was a bit anxious but they encouraged her to give it a try. All was well until I took off for my test ride, within 5 sec I lost control of the ski and both me and my gf ended up in the water! The staff including Shane, DJCR and Jackie were absolutely awesome in getting us both back on the skis, not as easy as it sounds trust me !! Jackie was fantastic in taking my gf back to shore while I followed I DJCR to catch up Shane. Shane was fantastic in instilling confidence in me to keep going and he made the rest of the experience memorable. Would highly recommend the experience and the team, whether you’re beginner or pro. The skis are amazing too.

Amazing experience, and an absolutely wonderful time here in the Gold Coast. Highly recommended! ????

So be warned, it is a group of jet ski going together tour! Not just one or two jet skis. Very informative video at the start and quick quiz! It really reassured me who has fears of the sea. The guide understands the weather conditions and changes time if necessary and still make sure you get what you came for! They are patient and good at teaching! I mean I am a teacher so you better believe it! I loved it! Best first ride! No experience needed as they will teach you there and quiz you! You are guaranteed to get 100%! Quiz is so easyXD. Also Smile! They take awesome photographs! Had to buy photos because it was such a professional one:) thank you

These guys run an A+ operation. We booked with them after receiving poor treatment from another jet ski tour operator and it turned out to be a blessing. We booked the 1.5 hr tour to Tipplers and whilst I didn’t make it (turns out I’m not made for captaining a jet ski ????) my husband and 7-year-old loved it so much they went a second time 2 days later. Really great team and highly recommend these guys over other operators.

Otherwise was great fun. Brad and Pandora were nice guides. Thanks for the experience.

The scenic views were breathtaking, and stopping at Tipplers Island for a pool game with the boys was a delightful surprise. Be prepared, though – don't bet on winning against them; they're quite skilled. Highly recommend this adventure for an exhilarating and memorable day on the water!
