The Gold Coast Express Jetboat Ride is one of Surfers Paradise's most thrilling and exhilarating water-based experiences — a heart-pumping 40-minute high-speed adventure aboard a powerful jet boat that tears across the Nerang River and the spectacular Gold Coast Broadwater with a series of breathtaking spins, slides, 360-degree rotations, and jet-powered acceleration that delivers an unforgettable adrenaline rush in one of Queensland's most iconic aquatic playgrounds. Departing from a central Surfers Paradise location, this action-packed ride is the perfect way to experience the Gold Coast's glittering waterways from an entirely new and decidedly wild perspective — combining jaw-dropping stunt manoeuvres with spectacular views of the city skyline, the Broadwater, and the surrounding coastal landscape in a compact 40-minute format that delivers maximum impact.
The jetboat is purpose-built for high-performance water stunts — its powerful twin jet engines capable of generating the speed and thrust needed to execute dramatic 360-degree flat spins, fishtail slides, high-speed powerslides, and sudden stops that throw spray dramatically across the water's surface in all directions. A professional and experienced driver performs the full sequence of manoeuvres with precision and theatrical flair, narrating the ride and working the crowd throughout the session to generate maximum energy and participation from passengers on board. The route takes the boat across the Nerang River and out onto the open expanse of the Gold Coast Broadwater — passing the Southport shoreline, the marina precincts, and the distinctive coastal geography of the Gold Coast hinterland beyond — before the stunt sequences reach their most intense and crowd-pleasing climax on the open water.
The 40-minute ride format is ideal as a standalone Gold Coast activity or as part of a broader waterfront day that includes the nearby Surfers Paradise beach, the Marina Mirage shopping precinct, or a Sea World visit. Tickets are available through Ticketmates and other authorised booking platforms, with multiple daily departures operating to accommodate different schedules throughout the day. No experience or swimming ability is required — all participants are provided with safety briefings and equipment before departure, and the experience is suitable for thrill-seekers aged 3 and above.
