This 3-hour tour departs from Sanctuary Cove Superyacht Marina in Hope Island, whisking you away through twisting mangrove waterways, secluded islands, and luxury estates before reaching the expansive dunes of South Stradbroke Island.

The adventure commences with expert guidance and a safety briefing before you mount your Sea-Doo GTX PRO jetski, equipped with speakers for your preferred soundtrack as you cut through calm estuaries and open passages.
