About this tour
Pilot your own jet ski down the Brisbane River at golden hour, hitting the water from the CBD and cruising past Story Bridge, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, and South Bank Parklands. This 90-minute tour lets you take the helm of a 2025 SeaDoo while the city lights flicker on around you. The outfit's been running sunset runs for over a decade, and their guides know every bend and landmark along the waterway. Groups cap at ten riders, so it stays intimate.

What to expect
You'll meet at Botanic Gardens RiverHub Marina 15 minutes before departure. After a safety briefing and fit check of your life vest, you'll head out onto the water and take control of your jet ski. The route traces the river from the CBD outward, passing recognisable landmarks as the light softens and the city begins to glow. You'll have time to soak in the sights and control your own pace—this isn't a white-knuckle blast, but a manageable ride suited to beginners and confidence-builders alike. Weather and river conditions determine whether the tour runs; if conditions turn, you'll be rebooked or refunded in full.
