What to expect

Magnetic Island and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park

This 2-hour guided Jet Ski tour with snorkeling takes you from the docks out toward Magnetic Island and into sections of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Time on the water combines high-speed riding with stops at key snorkeling areas, so you can experience both the coastline and the marine life up close.

Features

A detailed safety briefing and Jet Ski practical demonstration starts the session, so you understand how to operate your own personal Jet Ski and follow the guide's instructions on the water.

While riding through the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, you can look out for turtles, dolphins, and other vibrant marine life that thrive in the surrounding reefs and bays.

Snorkeling time lets you explore reefs around Magnetic Island, including snorkeling spots in Florence Bay, Arthur Bay, or Nelly Bay, where clear water improves your view of coral formations and fish.

A life jacket is provided for you to wear throughout both the Jet Ski ride and snorkeling portions, adding support in the water during each swim stop.

If you arrive without sun protection, sunscreen is available for you, helping you prepare before heading out into the open tropical conditions.

Bottled water is supplied if you forget yours, so you can stay hydrated between Jet Ski segments and snorkeling stops while listening to your guide.

Guides share educational insights into the local marine ecosystem and conservation efforts as you ride and snorkel, helping you understand the environment you are moving through.

Wrapping up

After the final snorkeling stop and Jet Ski ride back toward the docks, you disembark at The Docks, 108 Flinders Street, where the guided portion ends and you are free to continue your day from the waterfront.
