The team there was incredibly helpful and accommodating, quickly arranging an alternative for us.
We chose the Magnetic Island Jet Ski Tour (2 hours), and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Snorkelling was the priority for our experience and whilst it wasn’t included in the JetSki tour, we mentioned it to our guide and he brought the equipment anyway just in case the weather was suitable (really appreciated this).
My friend and I had SO much fun, there were plenty of opportunities to swap drivers and we enjoyed setting our own pace with the tour. The tour ended up being the guide and us which we really liked. This experience was a highlight of the trip, and we really appreciate the many photos and videos our guide took. I highly recommend!
Big shoutout to Helios for being an amazing guide and for getting some epic photos and videos of us looking way cooler than we actually are. 🤣
Would recommend this to anyone who loves a bit of adventure, beautiful scenery, and having a ridiculously good time!
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.
