Itinerary

  1. The journey begins at 9:00 AM at the Rivergate Marina. You’ll perform a transition from the docks to the water, gaining an initial window into the 2026 landscape of the Brisbane River. Your guide provides a technical orientation on the Sea-Doo controls before you cruise beneath the Gateway Bridge, capturing the architectural gem in the morning light before heading toward the open waters of the bay.
  2. The core of the expedition involves an immersive discovery of the Moreton Bay Marine Park. You’ll perform a session of high-speed transit past St Helena Island, witnessing the colonial prison ruins from the water, and Peel Island, known for its historic quarantine station. This session reaches its culminating point as you navigate the pristine bays in search of the park’s residents: turtles, dolphins, and dugongs.
  3. The final phase reaches its culminating point at Straddie Brewing Co on North Stradbroke Island. You’ll have a final opportunity to enjoy fresh, island-inspired food and rooftop views before the return transit. The session concludes back at Murarrie, ending the tour by the 5-hour mark, or your chosen date, with the "rush" of having navigated Brisbane's most iconic waterfront.

Expect a "spectacular," well-paced, and deeply "exhilarating" immersion into the Southeast Queensland coast. The transition from "tranquil river cruising" to "open-water adrenaline" is managed by a team noted for their professionalism and safety focus, ensuring that even in a small group, you feel well-looked after. The environment is one of monumental biodiversity, where the physical demand of the jetski provides a necessary 2026 refresh for the soul. Note that for 2026 safety, this activity is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with back problems.
