Our Trips

The gentle 10 km alternative – a laid back, relaxed chance to see the northern end of Pumicestone Passage on a clean green fun machine. Leaving from our Bulcock Beach headquarters, learn how to handle a jetski, travel along the western bank of Bribie Island, across Pumicestone Passage and up to Power Boat Club at Golden Beach. Ideal for seniors or families with children from 8 minimum 1.2m tall.
Dur: approx 45 -55 mins
Cost : $180 per jetski
Bribie Blast
A 30 km free-wheeling adrenalin blast along the western bank of Bribie Island to historic Lighthouse Reach – a little hideaway where locals go for high speed adventure. On this trip, we administer just the right amount of adrenalin to suit you. Learn about the area’s unique history and its extraordinary geological links with the ancient volcanos of the Glasshouse Mountains while experiencing the amazing agility of our clean green (and powerful) fun machines in a “hot lap” of Lighthouse Reach.

Glasshouse Twister
Our most popular! Ride deep into the Moreton Bay Marine Park, sliding your ski through 60km of a narrow mangrove lined marine channel. Snake through the Roys, the Narrows, the Hazards, the W’s and the Skids until this natural rollercoaster spits you into the tranquil Tripcony Bight where you are immersed in a marine park green zone dominated by the awe inspiring ancient volcanos of the Glasshouse Mountains. This is home to Sea Eagles, turtles, blackswans and 360 species of migratory and wading birds. On the way home, test the agility of our clean green fun machines in our Lighthouse Reach hot lap.
Dur: Approx 90-105 mins
Cost: $310 per jetski
Sunshine Coast Jetski Epic
Our signature experience and the best value for money! Full of surprises, this epic is a jet-skiing smorgasbord, from the smooth waters of Pumicestone Passage, through narrow mangrove lined marine channels into the tranquil Tripcony Bight and ocean style riding at the southern end of the journey. To keep hydrated, each jetski comes with drinking water to be consumed as we pause at Lighthouse Reach, Lime Pocket – home to dolphins, dugongs and turtles, and the quaint seaside town of Donnybrook. There’s a coffee break at Bribie before embarking on the return journey, which includes the chance to experience the agility of our clean green fun machines in the Lighthouse Reach “hot lap”.
Dur: Half day tour ( approx 3.5 to 4.5 hours)
Cost: $460 per jetski

Pumicestone Passage Jetski Rental
You've asked for it, now you've got it. Hire a jet ski from us for a quick spin or a whole day. The prices range from $149 for an hour, $249 for two hours, $349 for three hours, $399 for half a day or $599 for a whole day. It's the easiest way to hire a jet ski... it's already in the water, ready to go. No trailers, no boat ramp rage, no wash down or refuelling!. It's all done for you!. There is a catch though - you must have a jet ski licence, demonstrate you know the rules and the hire is limited to Pumicestone Passage - between our base at Bulcock Beach in the north to Bribie Bridge in the south. We think you will have more fun coming on one of our regular trips - but this is a great alternative if you have got a jetski licence, and a group of family and friends but no ski!
Available only February 1 to December 24 subject to availability.
To book, phone or email Jac on 0434 330 660 or jac@caloundrajetski.com.au. 24 hours notice required!
Come for a Spin!
We travel between Caloundra and Bribie Island most days. Hitch a ride with the guide for $160 return. Spend a few hours on Bribie or… Take a quick spin or do one of the trips for half the cost on the guide’s ski, or create your own guided adventure. There's a whole ship load of reasons why getting on the guide's jetski might make sense:
1. There's seven in your group - and only room for six on the hired jetskis. Get on Jac's ski and don't miss out on the Bribie Blast, the Glasshouse Twister, the City Explorer or the Sunshine Coast Jetski Epic.
2. You want to do the trip… but you don’t want to pay full price.
3. You're the laid back type... and would prefer to let someone else do the driving - and besides you are more interested in the scenery than the agility of these very quick machines.
4. You want to do something different - go to places the other trips don't. Jac can take you.
5. Fancy a day on a virtually secluded beach on Bribie Island - ten minutes on a jetski will get you there and we will come and pick you up when you're ready to come home.
6. You want to have a picnic on Bribie Island – and getting there and back on a jetski sounds pretty cool.
You do the sums : If you want to do one of our regular scheduled trips, it’s half the cost of driving yourself…. But the options are endless.
For customised adventures and charters, we charge $120 an hour.
