About Poseidon Adventure Townsville
Poseidon Adventure Townsville is a locally owned jet ski and boat tour operator based at The Docks on Flinders Street. Its guides take riders and passengers out across Cleveland Bay to Magnetic Island and around Cape Cleveland. The guided jet ski tours range from a 70-minute express ride to a two-and-a-half-hour run to Cape Cleveland. There is also a two-hour tour with a snorkelling stop, and a supervised 60-minute hire for those who want to ride closer to home. No licence is needed, as every rider gets a safety briefing and demonstration before heading out. Prices are per ski, and on most tours a passenger rides along at no extra cost. On the boat side, the Magnetic Island Adventurer spends four and a half hours exploring the island's bays. There is also a four-hour pub crawl around the island, a full-day snorkelling trip to the Great Barrier Reef, and whale watching in July and August. For groups, the crew runs skippered private charters for up to 35 people. They can be shaped around reef snorkelling, a Magnetic Island day, a birthday or a corporate outing, with the itinerary adjusted to suit the weather. Work functions, hens and bucks groups and Christmas parties can ask about tailored packages, and longer private tours are arranged on request. Bookings are confirmed on payment, with weather calls handled by rescheduling, a gift voucher or a refund.
