Jetboat Extreme + Helitours was fantastic! The jetboat was incredibly thrilling; I threw my hands up and felt a rush during the drifts. The driver and guide's skills were top-notch. We also had a 10-minute helicopter scenic flight. The staff arranged for us to wait an extra 30 minutes so we could witness the beautiful sunset from the helicopter, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely do Jetboat Extreme again if I get the chance in the future.

The coaches were very friendly and really focused on our safety. Even though I’m not a good swimmer, I could still fully participate and successfully performed the surfing moves with the coaches’ help. The 2 hours experience was very fulfilling and a lot of fun. You can also purchase the photographer’s photos for an extra $35 AUD, he captured so many fun moments, and I bought them too 😁

Absolutely thrilling 45 minutes! The jet boat was super fast with amazing 360 spins and big waves. Staff were professional, safety briefing was clear, and the views of Gold Coast were incredible. Great value for money and a must-do activity. experience:

Max was fantastic! As it was our first time driving an electric GoBoat, he explained everything clearly and made the instructions very easy to understand. His friendly and professional approach gave us the confidence to enjoy the experience from the start. We had an amazing time on the water and would highly recommend it. Thank you, Max, for making our first GoBoat experience so enjoyable!

An absolutely brilliant cruise. We saw some incredible whale activity, including breaches and tail slaps, which was breath-taking to witness in person. The boat was great, the crew was super helpful, and the whole trip was seamless. 10/10 would recommend!
