Jetski Tour FAQs

Hold old do I need to be?

16 is the minimum age to drive a Jetski. Passengers under 16 must have a driver 18+ and no passenger can be under 7 years old. Photo ID is required for all participants by law. Tours over 4 hours are restricted to 16+, and tours over 8 hours are restricted to 18+ for safety reasons. Participants over 65 must call our office for a fitness consultation before booking.

How much is it per person?

All prices are per Jetski, and each Jetski seats a maximum of 2 people (or 200kg). Solo riders get the whole Jetski to themselves. We will never pair you with a random person on another Jetski.

Do I get to drive the Jetski?

Yes — the price covers the whole Jetski. Share it with a friend or ride solo on any of our adventure tours.

Will we see marine life?

Trident Jetskis Adventure Tours are designed for the real explorers. Specialising in long-haul trips, our tours get you more time on the water and more chances for wildlife encounters. Dolphins, Dugongs, Turtles, and Stingrays are popular sightings on our tours. See our Adventures into Moreton Bay and around the Gold Coast for the best chances at a marine encounter.

Can you see Whales?

Yes — Whale Season is from August to November. Only tours into Moreton Bay will see whales, and it’s advisable to book a longer trip for the best chances. Not sure if your trip includes potential sightings? Contact our team for help.

Will I get wet?

Expect to have a splash on any of our popular Island Tours — These trips offer great spots for swimming, small to medium-sized waves, and an all-around fun time! Trips in protected waterways like the Brisbane River or the Gold Coast Mangrove Passages offer dry experiences and are great ways to get started on a Jetski.

Is there free parking?

Brisbane: Offers FREE street parking within 2 minutes of the marina and $10 Secure Paid Parking within the complex. Gold Coast: Offers FREE parking in all lots around the village.

What should I wear?

Dress for the weather and expect splashes. We recommend: long sleeves (rashie), a safari hat with a strap, shorts or swimmers, and sunglasses. In cooler months, bring a water-resistant jacket or windbreaker. Watershoes are not necessary, but can make your trip more comfortable. We provide all the safety gear required.

What should I bring?

Please bring your phone, sunscreen, and a small water bottle. A towel is nice to have, but not essential. DO NOT bring snacks or food items without permission from your guide.

Is there space to fit my things?

Whatever you need to bring, we assure you, there is room for it in the Jetski. The 2026 Sea-Doo GTI hosts a large 144L front stowage bin suitable for all bags smaller than a suitcase, and a large glove box perfect for a small waterbottle, phone, and keys with room to spare.

What happens if I break something?

If you break it, you pay for it. Reduced excess cover is available for $50 and limits your liability to $500. Standard excess is $2,500 for any damages.

What’s your cancellation policy?

FULL REFUND with notice of at least 24 hours. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows will not be refunded. If we cancel due to bad weather or mechanical failure, a full refund will be provided.

What if I don’t enjoy it?

If you showed up on time and didn’t have the amazing experience, we guarantee 50% of your money back. That’s our satisfaction guarantee, and we’re confident you will go home with a smile and amazing memories.

What happens if it’s bad weather?

Our tours operate rain or shine; however, any tour with forecasts outside of acceptable parameters will be cancelled with the option of a full refund, rebooking, or rain check. Looking for the perfect day? Contact our team with as much notice as possible, and we can try our best to accommodate you. Last-minute changes are accepted at the discretion of management.
