Discover the Top End like never before! Your adventure begins as you jet ski past Balding Bay and into the stunning Radical Bay, where you’ll have time to stop for a swim and enjoy some fish spotting in its crystal-clear waters. Then, head towards North-West Point, where volcanic rock headlands create a dramatic contrast to the island’s coastline. From there, hug the coast and cruise through Magnetic Island’s famous Five Bays, a protected green zone that remains largely untouched. Enjoy another swim before opening the throttle and racing back to Horseshoe Bay. As the island’s only self-drive tour, you’ll get the insight of our local guides while experiencing the thrill of captaining your own jet ski in a small group adventure.
