About this tour

What to expect
You'll arrive at Botanic Gardens Riverhub Marina 15 minutes early, get fitted with a PFD life vest, and receive a safety briefing before boarding your jet ski. Then you're at the controls, throttling downstream past Brisbane's landmarks with the guide leading the way. The river traffic is manageable, and you'll hear the hum of engines and the sounds bouncing off the riverbanks. As light fades, the city's thousands of lights reflect across the water—the main spectacle. Expect a mix of smooth cruising and responsive handling; the ride can be bumpy depending on river conditions.
