What to expect
Expect to be on the water for the full hour, with brief stops at wreck sites where your guide provides historical detail. You'll be handling the jet ski yourself—it's not a passive ride. The pace is moderate enough to absorb information, but you'll feel the acceleration between stops. Water conditions in Darwin Harbour can vary, so anticipate some chop depending on tides and weather. Bring sunglasses secured with a strap; spray is inevitable.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required—jet skiing demands core strength and balance. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or heart concerns. Sunscreen, water, and life jacket provided. Public transport reaches the departure point. Arrive early to fit the jet ski to your size and receive safety briefing.
