Magnetic Island Express Jet Ski Tour

Discover the best of Magnetic Island on this flexible 70-minute guided jet ski adventure, departing from The Docks, 108 Flinders Street, Townsville.

Your journey begins with a thrilling ride across Cleveland Bay before rounding the shores of “Maggie” to explore one side of the island. The route is chosen daily based on weather and wind conditions, and is generally the south side. This is not our full Magnetic Island Tour; the Express Tour covers approximately half of the island.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the island, spot local marine life and capture incredible photos with your guide leading the way. It’s the perfect tour for guests seeking a shorter taste of Magnetic Island’s highlights.
