Magnetic Island Express Jet Ski Tour - 70 Minutes

Highlights

  • Tour Magnetic Island by jet ski

  • Skim across Cleveland Bay waters

  • Spot turtles, dugongs and dolphins

  • Cruise past the SS Adelaide wreck

  • Bring a passenger to ride free

  • Explore the north or south coast

Experience the magic of Magnetic Island on a 70 minute express jet ski tour departing from The Docks in Townsville, where you'll cruise across Cleveland Bay before tracing one side of Maggie's coastline. Your guide picks the route on the day based on wind and weather, so you might glide south past Picnic Bay, Nelly Bay, Geoffrey Bay and on to Arthur Bay with its granite headlands and fringing coral, or head north past Cockle Bay and West Point toward the calm waters of Rollingstone Bay.

Either way, you'll soak up sweeping island views, scan the water for sea turtles, dugongs, dolphins and seabirds, and even spot the wreck of the SS Adelaide as you go. Each jet ski carries two riders with the passenger riding free, so grab a friend or partner and share the fun. With qualified local guides, entertaining commentary, life jackets, sunscreen and complimentary tour photos all included, this small group adventure is the perfect way to see a fresh side of Maggie in just over an hour.
