About this tour
Most Brisbane tours run every hour on the hour. This one doesn't. We take one small group out a day, at sunset, when the light turns gold on the water and the city towers glow. It's less "something to do this afternoon" and more the ride you'll be talking about for years.
You start at Rivergate Marina with a full safety briefing — no licence or experience needed. Then it's your hands on the handlebars: under the Gateway Bridges, past luxury riverfront homes, open throttle on the long straights, under the Story Bridge and into the CBD for a photo stop at South Bank. Your guide takes the photos so you don't have to, and keeps the pace right for your group — first-timers included.

“I honestly can’t recommend Luke at Trident Jet Skis highly enough. The 2-hour sunset tour down the Brisbane River was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.Guest review · Brisbane City Sunset Tour
From the moment we arrived, Luke made everything effortless—super friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. He gave clear instructions, made sure everyone felt confident on the jet skis, and kept the whole group safe while still making it an absolute thrill.
The ride itself was unreal. Cruising along the Brisbane River as the sun set over the city skyline was something special—perfect mix of adrenaline and breathtaking views. Luke knew all the best spots, kept the pace exciting, and made sure we got plenty of time to enjoy the scenery as well as open up the throttle.
What really stood out was how much Luke genuinely cared about making it an unforgettable experience. It didn’t feel rushed or generic—it felt personal, well thought out, and seriously fun from start to finish.
If you’re even thinking about doing a jet ski tour, do yourself a favour and book with Luke. You won’t regret it.”
