My friend and I had an amazing time on the boat — so much fun that we did it two days in a row! For $65, the experience was incredible value and absolutely worth it. The spins, sharp turns, and power stops were such a thrill, and the harbour views were breathtaking. We felt very safe the entire time, and our driver, was excellent. We also loved that the whole experience was filmed on a GoPro, so we could relive it afterwards. The boat wasn’t overcrowded and had plenty of space, which made it even more enjoyable. This is a must-do for adrenaline junkies or anyone wanting to see the harbour from a completely different perspective. I’ll definitely be back — and I can see why it’s top-ranked!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the jet boat run at Darling Harbour, and a huge part of that was thanks to John, our instructor. He was incredibly professional while also making the whole experience a ton of fun. He made sure everyone felt super welcome, comfortable, and safe throughout the ride. Honestly, he’s one of the best instructors I’ve ever had on an event like this. We left feeling really grateful and happy. Thanks again, John!

My daughter and I both enjoyed this a lot! It was fast and exhilarating without being reckless in anyway. Our skipper Isaac was obviously an expert driver, and always counted down to the boat spins and checked on our enjoyment and safety. You get splashed a lot, and you frequently go airborne along the waves, along with great views of beautiful Sydney Harbour. Highly recommended!

Superb jet boat ride in Sydney Harbour area. Brilliant start to our arrival in Sydney on the second leg of our Bucket almost Ashes Tour. Well worth it and pictures and videos were brilliant.
