The experience

You start at Darwin Waterfront HQ and climb onto one of the latest model Jet Ski GTIs. The guide briefs you on the basics, then you're free to set the pace: full throttle if you want the adrenaline, or a steadier cruise if you prefer to take in the water and the coastline. The harbour opens up in front of you as you head out across sun-drenched, unspoiled water, and the first real landmark is Mindil Beach Casino, which you'll pass at speed before swinging toward the sandbar (the route depends on the tide that day).

Along the way you'll spot marine life and have the chance to feed fish from the ski. The whole thing is built around what you do with the throttle: show off your skills if you want, or keep it smooth and take in the open water. After an hour, you head back to base. Life jacket, sunscreen, and bottled water are included. The guide stays with the group and speaks English throughout.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the minimum age to jet ski on this Darwin tour?

The minimum age is 16 years old. Riders should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness.

Can I control the speed on the jet ski, or does the guide set the pace?

You control the throttle on the Jet Ski GTI. You can cruise at a leisurely pace or open it up to full speed. The choice is yours throughout the hour.

Do we actually pass Mindil Beach Casino, or just see it from a distance?

You blast in front of Mindil Beach Casino as part of the route, so you'll pass it directly on the water rather than viewing it from afar.

What happens if the tide is wrong for the sandbar part of the tour?

The sandbar run is tide dependent, so if conditions don't allow it that day, the guide will adjust the route to keep the hour on the water interesting and safe.

Is the jet ski tour suitable if I have back or heart concerns?

The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health due to the physical demands and impact of jet skiing. Check with your doctor if you have any concerns about your fitness for the activity.
