The 3rd party company I booked my tour with didn’t book me into a time slot which was frustrating but the guy that served me was absolutely fantastic. He managed to get me and my daughter onto a tour that day. I’m sorry I’ve forgotten your name but I’m sure you’ll remember me, Jason and daughter Molly. We got into the very back of the boat and absolutely had a great time with my nervous daughter coming off the tour wanting to come back for another ride. Our driver was Adam who wasn’t just knowledgeable about the area, not just a great driver but also a great personality. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from mad whips to seeing dolphins and golden wallabies. The young islander fella when we got back was very friendly also, he was working the front desk and we purchased the great photos and video of our memorable adventure. Hope to see you all again soon for another mad journey around the Gold Coast. Thank you to everyone Jason and MollyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.My kids and I had an absolute ball. I highly recommend 👌Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.A very good jet boating experience overall, went with my wife, two kids and mum. Although we arrived first and requested front seats, the instructor didn’t accommodate our request, and we ended up in the back row. There was a lot of water splashing over the back seats, which wasn’t ideal for the kids and my mum or wear swimming googles. I’d recommend the front or second row if you’re travelling with young children or grandparents—it’s better for photos too. We enjoyed the ride, but more consideration of our seating request would have made the experience better.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We had the best time with Paradise Jet Boating. Dean and the team were all super helpful and friendly. Andres really knew his stuff on the water. Loved the high speed spins! We had so much fun and the 50 mins went way too quickly.

SHOUTOUT TO ANDRES NAOMI & DEAN! If you’re visiting the Gold Coast and only do one high-speed activity, BOOK PARADISE JET BOATING RIGHT NOW. Hands down the absolute best time we’ve had in ages—10/10 from start to finish! From the second we rocked up, the energy was unreal. Massive shoutout to Dean—what a top geeza! He had us sorted, kept the vibe sky-high, and made the whole check-in and briefing effortless. Legend of a bloke who really sets the tone before you even hit the dock. Then we got on the water with Andres on the wheel, and holy dynamic! Andres is an absolute LEGEND. The skill on this bloke is next level. He was throwing down full 360-degree spins, high-speed power slides, and razor-sharp turns through the Broadwater, keeping us screaming, laughing, and soaked the entire way. You can tell he knows those waterways inside out—safe as houses, but delivering maximum adrenaline. The boat is a monster, the views of the Coast are unreal, and the team makes you feel like absolute royalty while having the time of your life. We left genuinely buzzing and couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the day. Huge thanks to Andres, Dean, and the whole Paradise Jet Boating crew for an unforgettable run. We’ll 100% be back next time we’re in town. Don't even think about it—just book it!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.OMG! What an amazing experience.
