What to Expect

Take to the water on a 70-minute Magnetic Island Express Jet Ski Tour from Townsville, designed for those wanting a shorter adventure while still experiencing some of the island's most scenic coastline. Departing from The Docks, 108 Flinders Street, Townsville, you'll begin with a safety briefing before heading across the waters of Cleveland Bay on a guided jet ski adventure.

Unlike the full Magnetic Island tour, this experience explores approximately half of the island, with your route selected each day according to the weather and sea conditions to provide the safest and most enjoyable ride.

On southbound tours (the most common route), you'll cruise past Picnic Bay, Nelly Bay and Geoffrey Bay, with favourable conditions often allowing the tour to continue to the beautiful Arthur Bay, known for its granite headlands, clear water and fringing coral reefs.

When conditions favour a northbound route, you'll ride past Cockle Bay, around West Point, and towards the secluded coastline of Rollingstone Bay or Bay Rock, where calmer waters and rugged coastal scenery create a completely different perspective of Magnetic Island.

Along the journey, your experienced local guide shares interesting facts about Magnetic Island, its history, marine environment and landmarks. You'll also pass the historic SS Adelaide shipwreck, one of the region's best-known maritime sites.

Keep watch for local wildlife including sea turtles, dugongs, dolphins and seabirds, all regularly seen throughout Cleveland Bay. As with all wildlife experiences, sightings cannot be guaranteed as animals move freely throughout the marine park.

This tour is ideal for travellers wanting the excitement of riding a jet ski while discovering part of Magnetic Island without committing to the longer full island adventure. Throughout the tour, your guide will stop at scenic locations so you can take in the views while complimentary photos are captured for you to enjoy after your experience.
