Choosing a Day Out on the Water

Three listings share one Paradise Parade address and a family crew with more than 20 years of experience, so the real question is what your group wants to do on the water. Surfers Jetski Tours focuses on the ride, Surfers Parasailing on the flight, and Surfers Paradise Watersports on combining them. Price guides run from $44.50 per person for jet skis, from $65 per person for the watersports tours and from $95 per person for parasailing.

Each option at Paradise Point suits a different group:

  • First-timers or short on time: the 15-minute intro ride or 30-minute river run with Surfers Jetski Tours.
  • Island day: the 1.5-hour and two-hour tours pass the Sovereign Islands and stop at Tipplers on South Stradbroke Island.
  • Watching together: the Surfers Parasailing boat fits up to 10, and everyone takes turns while the rest look on.
  • Bucks crews and sports clubs: Surfers Paradise Watersports notes they lean towards ski races and a parasail to finish.
  • Non-riders: take-off and landing happen on the boat deck, so flyers can stay dry unless they ask for a foot dip.

What riders and flyers need to know

  • Nobody needs a jet ski licence on the guided tours, and each ski takes one rider or two sharing up to a combined 200 kg.
  • Parasail flights take one, two or three people up to around 350 feet, with about 10 minutes in the air.
  • A parasail trip runs one to 1.5 hours on the water, so allow for turns across the boat.
  • Photos are included with rides and flights, so nobody needs to risk a phone.

Turning a Paradise Point ride into a group day

  • Corporate teams can use a ride as a team day, incentive or off-site meeting.
  • Friendly jet ski challenges can be shaped into a work outing by the Surfers Jetski Tours crew.
  • Barbecues overlooking the water suit a group meal once everyone is back on land.
  • Combo packages pair a tandem parasail with a jet ski ride of 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Common Questions Before You Paddle Out

Do we need a licence for the Paradise Point jet ski tours?

No. Nobody needs a marine or jet ski licence on the guided tours.

Will parasailing from Paradise Point get us wet?

Not unless you ask. The winch handles take-off and landing from the deck, and the captain can give you a foot dip on request.

Can hens groups ride here as well as bucks?

Surfers Jetski Tours lists bucks and hens parties among its groups. Surfers Parasailing and Surfers Paradise Watersports name bucks, so ask them about a hens booking.

How do I pick between Surfers Jetski Tours and a parasail combo?

If everyone wants to ride, go for a jet ski tour. If some prefer a gentler experience, a combo lets the group share the day with a tandem flight.
