The roar of the jet boat kicks off before you even reach the Broadwater: salt-slick spray, the boat leaning into a 360, and the horizon of highrises and islands sliding past. In one ninety-minute loop you’ll trade the low, wet rush of speed for a breathless helicopter climb, skimming the coastline and turning over South Stradbroke, Main Beach and the glittering strip of Surfers Paradise.
