Done with the jet skis but keen for a bigger splash? Blasting across the Broadwater is a ripper of an experience, but the Great Barrier Reef is the ultimate playground! If you’re ready to trade the jet ski for a snorkel and see what’s happening underwater, have a squiz at our other Great Barrier Reef Tours. From craft beers to coral reefs, we’ve got your Aussie adventure sorted!
- Any additional drinks you want to try out beyond what we’re including
- If you want to grab some brewery merchandise or take some drinks home with you
- A towel so you can dry off after having a splash
- A dry change of clothes, in case you get wet
- Sunscreen to protect that skin
- Some cool shades – we’re talking sunglasses here
- You’re going to breweries, so it’s best wear closed-toe shoes for your own safety
- And don’t forget to bring your photo ID
- A real sense of adventure because this is going to be a blast
- Don’t even think about touching a drop of booze before you’re out on those jet skis – it’s a no-go area
- Before you even get near the jet skis, though, you’ve got to sign a waiver so that everyone’s on the same page
- Marines Cove Marina is the place to be at 7:30 am sharp – make your own way there in your own time, though
- After the jet ski fun is over, we’ll be there to pick you up around 11:00 am to take you on to the next stop
- Because safety always comes first, the tour will only run if it’s safe to do so – that means we might have to change the plan if the weather’s not good
- We monitor the weather super closely, keeping an eye on all the official forecasts and emergency services in Queensland
It’s the jet ski part that can be a bit tricky if you’ve got any mobility issues, but we really want to make the rest of the tour as much fun as possible for everyone. If you’ve got some special needs, do get in touch before you book so we can have a chat about whether it’s a good fit or if there’s something else we can do to help.
If you’ve got special dietary requirements – such as being a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free, for example – we can sort that out for you if you let us know well in advance. Just give us the lowdown when you book, so we can make sure you get the right grub.
Public Tours: No worries if you need to cancel up to 48 hours ahead of time – your money back, no problem.
Private Tours: You’ve paid a deposit, which is non-refundable, but if you want to change the date, we’ll see what we can do for you. Subject to availability, of course.
If the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll either reschedule the tour when the sun comes out again or issue a credit for another time – whichever you prefer.
And just to be clear, any refund will go straight back to the person who made the original purchase.
