Noosa Jet SKi Hire - Noosa River Jet Ski Tours

Our Noosa River jet ski tour is a guided ride along the river on a Sea-Doo jet ski with one of our team, taking in the wildlife, the waterfront and some fast laps of the river circuit. Choose 45 minutes or 1 hour. You don’t need a licence or any jet ski experience.

What You’ll See on the Noosa River

Your guide leads the way from our marina in Noosaville, pointing out the spots worth slowing down for. Keep an eye out for sea birds, turtles and the odd dolphin along the river.

Down to the River Mouth

Your guide can take you down to the river mouth, where the Noosa River meets the ocean and the water turns turquoise over white sand. It’s one of the best views in Noosa, and you see it from the seat of your own jet ski.

Time on the River Circuit

Every river tour includes time on the Noosa River jet ski circuit, a marked high-speed zone set aside for hire jet skis. It’s the part of the tour where you can open up the throttle.

If it’s your first ride, 45 minutes is plenty to get comfortable on the jet ski and see the river. The 1 hour tour gives you extra time to explore with your guide, which is worth it if you’re sharing a ski and both want a decent turn driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some FAQ's about Noosa River Jet Ski Tours.

Yes. Every Noosa River jet ski tour includes time on the river circuit, the marked high-speed zone set aside for hire jet skis.

It’s where you get to open up the throttle between the sightseeing, so you get the best of both: a relaxed cruise along the river with your guide and a proper burst of speed. If the high-speed part is all you’re after, you can also hire a jet ski on the circuit on its own.

No, the river tour stays on the Noosa River, although your guide can take you down to the river mouth to see where the river meets the sea.

The river is calmer than the open ocean, which makes this tour a good choice for first timers, families and anyone who’d rather skip the swell and spray. If you’d like to cross the Noosa Bar and ride the coastline, book an ocean jet ski tour or the jet ski safari.

Yes. Your guide leads the group for the whole tour, points out the wildlife and the best spots along the river, and keeps everyone together.

They’ll run through how the jet ski works before you head out and set a pace that suits the group, so nobody gets left behind. It’s a relaxed way to see the river, with someone who knows it well showing you around.

Yes. Two people can share a jet ski and swap drivers along the way.

One of you must be 18 or over, and passengers need to be at least 7 years old and 125cm tall. A simple way to share is to swap halfway, so one person drives out and the other drives home, and you both get to enjoy the river from the driver’s seat.

45 minutes is plenty for a first ride, and it’s a good length if you’ve got younger passengers on board.

The 1 hour tour gives you extra time on the water with your guide, which is worth it if you’re sharing a jet ski and both want a good turn driving. If you’ve ridden before, go for the hour, because the time flies once you’re comfortable on the jet ski.

No. You don’t need a licence or any jet ski experience.

We’ll fit your life jacket and run through how the jet ski works before you head out with your guide. Your guide stays with the group the whole way, so it’s a relaxed introduction to jet skiing, and you can take it at a pace that feels right for you.
