The Thrill Of Your Life On The Sunshine Coast

Adrenaline-pumping activity meets spectacular scenery on the Glasshouse Twister with Caloundra Jetski.

This 90-minute ride is a must-do for adventure seekers who want to go faster, go further, see more and do more. Located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast just an hour north of Brisbane, this is not just a jetski, it’s an eco experience that twists and turns through narrow winding mangroves before spitting you out in Tripcony Bight where there are awesome views over the ancient volcanos of the Glasshouse Mountains.

The experience starts the moment you arrive. Conducted by local character, Ken Jeffreys, you’ll have plenty of laughs on the safety briefing as you learn how to stay out of trouble on these clean, green Yamaha Waverunners.

You’ll be sharing the journey with soaring sea eagles, smart Ospreys, beautiful Brahminy Kites and hearing the dulcet tones of the Whistling Kites – and in the water, there’ll be turtles and dolphins – sometimes you will see them, sometimes you won’t.

This is one of Australia’s most important wetlands – RAMSAR-listed and a sanctuary to a myriad of migratory and wading birds – as many species as you might find in the famed Kakadu National Park, yet just 60km from Brisbane.

If you’re interested, Ken (he hates being called a guide, he prefers you to think you are going on a ride with a mate who happens to own a couple of skis and knows where all the sandbars are) will tell you the Aboriginal Dream Time yarns about the Glasshouse Mountains, the area’s natural history and how the Brits “discovered” it a couple of hundred years ago.

Don’t worry! It’s not all eco – there’ll be plenty of opportunity to put the skis through their paces. It’s a bit like rally car driving on water, culminating in a couple of hot laps at Lighthouse Reach where the locals go for high speed adventure.

The Glasshouse Twister is the most exciting ride of your life and you don’t even need a license. At $260 per jet ski all inclusive, including quality photos posted straight to Facebook, it’s worth every cent. Book your 90-minute Glasshouse Twister ride, see what other trips they do and find out more about Caloundra Jetski at www.caloundrajetski.com.au and www.facebook.com/caloundrajetski
