Cairns 35-Minute High-Speed Jetboat Ride

About this experience

Add a burst of speed to your Cairns visit on a 35-minute jetboat ride along the waterfront and Trinity Inlet. Spins, slides and fast turns are the focus, with the captain combining the ride with commentary and views across the harbour. Choose it for a short, energetic activity that fits around a wider day in Cairns. Harbour scenery between the turns The route takes in the waterfront and the mangrove-fringed waters towards Trinity Inlet, offering a different perspective on Cairns between the high-speed manoeuvres. This is a thrill ride rather than a reef cruise or a swimming excursion. Check the operator’s participant requirements for your party before booking, and leave enough time after arrival to complete the briefing without rushing. Choose a thrill ride rather than a leisurely cruise The high-speed turns and slides are the reason to book this experience.

Consider what everyone in your party wants from the outing, and read the operator’s participant requirements before choosing a departure. A shorter time on the water can fit into a busy day, but it still needs time for check-in and the briefing.
