About this tour
Gun your jet ski across Trinity Inlet's open water, weaving past mangroves and shipwrecks in Cairns. This 1-hour guided tour requires no prior license or experience—just turn up, strap in, and throttle through some of Australia's most dynamic coastal scenery. You'll spot saltwater crocodiles and native birds from the water. Solo or tandem options available; groups booking multiple skis must reserve separately.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the launch point, get fitted with a lifejacket, and receive a brief safety rundown. The guide leads the group (max 4 skis per slot) through Trinity Inlet's varied terrain—some flat-out acceleration zones, tight turns through mangrove passages, and slower sections where you'll scan the banks for crocodiles and birdlife. Expect engine noise, spray, and the physical effort of steering and balancing; it's not passive. The full hour packs in genuine exploration rather than circles around a marked course. Your guide sets the pace and route, so you're following rather than charting your own path.
Good to know
Drivers must be 16+; if riding tandem (two people), the driver must be 18+. Passengers as young as 8 are welcome. Basic English comprehension helps with safety briefing. Groups needing more than one jet ski require separate bookings. Maximum 4 skis per time slot.
