Jet Ski Safaris is based on the Gold Coast, Australia. We operate in one of the busiest waterways in Australia, but also one of the most beautiful. The Moreton Bay Marine Park is where we take our guests on the majority of our tours and we are proud to be the only commercial watersports company that has the permit to operate in this area. Because of this, it is our responsibility to help keep our waterway happy and healthy.
Our guides are constantly on the lookout for all marine animals, and ensure they reduce their speeds and wash whenever any marine life is spotted, this not only gives our guests the opportunity to see the beautiful wildlife but also helps to keep our environmental impact to a minimum. Jet skis are specifically designed to have minimal wash compared to boats and other on-water vehicles, helping to ensure our impact on things like the mangroves and sand islands is kept to a minimum.
We firmly believe that preserving the pristine beauty of our waterways is crucial for the existence of Jet Ski Safaris. That’s why we take immense pride in supporting the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS). By partnering with AMCS, we contribute to their valuable efforts in protecting and conserving Australia’s marine environment.
In line with our commitment to environmental responsibility, we offer our customers the opportunity to make a difference. During the checkout process, you have the option to donate to the AMCS, further supporting their society and their initiatives. By choosing to donate, you can actively participate in safeguarding our precious water ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. Together, we can make a significant impact and ensure the longevity of our waterways.
