- tawhaa00Jet Ski in Gold CoastBelow are the pros and cons: Pros: - Safety - Excellent - Staff - Very friendly Cons: - A bit expensive. I have done this in Malaysia and it was very cheap Suggestion: They should include more of Island hopping rather than only visit to 1 island. If you have done Jet Ski before, you can skip this.
- 83meredithk00JetSki TourWhat a fantastic experience - thanks to Tom for being a great guide - the whole family had a ball and couldn’t believe how much fun we had!
- Kate N00Brilliant Fun…it will get you hooked!Absolutely brilliant family fun, staff were friendly and had great knowledge. Our safari leader Ethan made sure that everyone felt confident before the real fun began! He was quick to respond when my sons ended up in the water and ensured they were ok! Well worth the money and was a holiday highlight! As our 1 hour tour came to an end, we wished we had have booked longer!! Jet Ski Safari’s has definitely created a new hobby for our family!
- Taonui00MUST DO!Best day ever and thanks to the wonderful team here that made it that way, top knotch service and top knotch experience and would do it all again
- tunde3200You could do much betterThe parasailing itself was okay. I would have given a higher score if the guide (Quinn)even made an attempt to mention our names. Imagine how we felt, when he called every other person (6 of 8 pax) in the boat by name but avoided ours. GC Watersport, we apologise that we don't have names that are European or American, but ours matter to us too. I promise we are humans. Also, you had mentioned that photos will be taken and provided at a cost. if you had added the caveat that images may not be good or clear for whatever reason, we could have made alternate plans with other passengers. So imagine our disappointment when after this experience ( the good bad and ugly), our shots where not clear, no close up shots as some of the other passengers got. For ref, check Baba11am on the 16th of Feb. We paid anyway. We got the most unintelligible excuse from a front desk (not customer service) when we complained. I jave atta Jedburgh the clearest picture of the batch you took and we paid for. So it was a double whammy: dehumanised and still nothing to show for activity. I will try out GC Parasailing next time and advise others to do same.
- N3331ALjoannac00great experience, well worth the moneymy son and his girl friend loved their experience on the jet skis. The instructor was fantastic and kept professional when others starting veering off ! Would not hesitate to recommend or visit again
- richardmV3209RX00Fantastic experience for the family.Really fun trip. My wife, son (14) and daughter (10) had a blast. Will 100% do it again next time we visit the Gold Coast.
- SMF_197000Wonder experienceMy 10 year old and I loved our tandem parasail. The company was organised and professional. Making us feel safe and confident. Would definitely recommend.
- 928carolinel00Massive let downBooked my husband and son on a jet ski tour for his 50th birthday. They travelled all the way to the Watersports office to be kept waiting for half and hour then told the tour was cancelled with a smug smile on the staff member’s face. This effectively ruined our day as we had no chance to plan anything else. Why it was cancelled so last minute was not made clear to us and when I rang to enquire, the (presumably same rude and smug) staff member said she’s already explained to my husband and hung up on me! DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. Nor was any offer was made to reimburse my husband and son for the cost of their travel to get there. To say we are disappointed is an understatement.
- 654krisnas00Great and really funDid jet ski and para sail combo. Couldn't do jet boat as it was booked out. Best price in the town and really friendly staffs. Worth a try, will do it agin on my next visit.
- 664saih00Best experienceBest people Rob Quin Sam And girls at the reception All were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the whole experience with my kids.
- Passport76453600Absolutely amazingGreat experience from star to finish. Would recommend to everyone without hesitation. All the staff were great
- kerry2015201500TI ck Tick Tick! One of the best experiencesAmazing experience, friendly and accommodating staff, all safety aspects covered and explained, easy to find location, parking on a Saturday in the closeby car park didn't break the bank either. Activities were just wonderful and got to cross off these from my bucket list! Highly recommend these activities, will be back to do the jet ski again but for a longer period. Purchased a photo package which was well worth it. Valuables can also be placed into a secure locker. We didn't bother taking our phones for photos. Dress to get wet also :) Thanks for a wonderful day.
- diegobme00Amazing experienceMy wife and I had a great time and we can't wait to do it all again!! The crew and equipment were great too. I highly recommend this experience!
- samhU819EX00AwesomeHad a blast this afternoon with Stu and Scott, couldn’t of asked for better tour guides! Definitely spreading the word around cheers fellas 🤙🏼

2 hours prior to our booking we received a text message to call the company regarding our booking. Once we were in contact we were informed one of their jetskis had broken down and we would need to attend later that day. We weren't given any other options to refund or reschedule to another day, just informed that "we need to be flexible". They told us the earliest (and only time) we could attend was 4.15pm. We had another booking elsewhere in the afternoon and would need to be finished by 5pm, we informed them of the same to which they were confident we would be back in time. Unfortunately this was not the case. While I can understand this was due to another customer being late I don't see why we had to suffer the consequences by being late/missing our ongoing plans. At no stage were we offered any compensation for the initial time change or the delays once we had arrived.
While the jetski experience was enjoyable none the less, I don't find any reason to use this company over their competitors based on their lack of communication or customer service regarding issues on their behalf. I'm sure other companies would be more negotiable or offer some form of compensation for the inconvenience and not just firmly directing paying customers to be flexible.

Hi Taylah
Yes unfortunately we did have an issue with a Jetski at the time the text was sent to you at 12.47 and we appreciate you accepting to reschedule from your 3.30 session to a 4.15pm session, which finished at 5.05pm rather than 5pm
When purchasing activities at discounted rates through 3rd party agents, it does leave very little room for extra compensation, and we do appreciate when people are in a position to be flexible. If in circumstances flexibility is not possible, we are always happy to offer a full refund.
Of course we would never expect or direct a paying client to "be flexible" when the issue is at our end and apologies if this was misinterpreted or communicated incorrectly at the time.

On our resent holiday to the Gold Coast my partner and I did the 30min jet ski ride on the Nerang river after watching others doing it from our accommodation. It was so much fun and would highly recommend it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were under the pump a bit due to COVID restrictions and staff absenteeism from COVID but they managed to deal with things nicely. The photos taken during the tour were a great momento to keep if you so decide. We enjoyed it so much being our first time on jet skis that next time we go to the Gold Coast we will look at doing the hour or hour and a half tour for sure

Beautiful photos with the skyline of the city!! Also, staff was super chill and really worked with us! I was going to do Groupon but I called and they were WAY more helpful than the last place we called so this company is the way to go! Highly recommend. Plus, the course is better than the tour. Thank y'all so much for your kindness!

My husband and his 2 bro inlaws had a mean time. Would definitely book for 1hr next time and would highly recommend GC Watersports. Friendly instructor and it was a perfect day to take the jetskis out.

Amazing experience. Never have I been jet skiing before but loved every minute of it. Great briefing, explained everything you needed to know before you set of. Staff were very friendly and I had so much fun. Well worth doing this jet skiing experience 😎

Having done jetskiing before in open water, we know it can get rather choppy - but given this one is based in the broadwater, you get calm waters. You get driven in a shuttle for a few minutes down to the beach. From there it’s a very short jetski ride out to the ‘course’ so you don’t waste time - within 1 minute you can turn up the speed. It’s a simple rectangular course, well-marked so you can’t get confused. The staff are right there to look after you, and they take lots of photos (which you can purchase afterwards). They had no problems with our kids “driving” (as long as the adult was behind them and in control) - which was fantastic fun for the kids. For us, 30 mins was enough for two kids (15 mins each with a swapover in between). Definitely recommended if you’re in the Gold Coast!

From the book in process, to the service at the desk the staff were very friendly and helpful. You are taken from the marina to the beach in a mini bus and straight away get out on the jetski. There is an easy navigable course to follow and you can go at your own pace. Older children were able to sit in front of an adult and drive the jet ski. 30 minutes is very substantial for an experience and can definitely be recommended. Glad we brought the digital downloadable photo package. The views of Surfers Paradise in the photos adds to the overall experience.
