Oz Jet Boating

Wow! If you get a chance and you don’t mind getting wet — I highly recommend a Jet Boat tour of the Sydney Harbor. We had a very knowledgeable guide that also knew how to get us totally soaked.
The next time I am back, this is top on my list.

Went here a few days ago with some coworkers and it was a blast. The captain is friendly and safety is his #1 priority. Don’t be fooled by the price, you can ALWAYS haggle down to $ 50 a person instead of the $ 75 advertised. I’ve stopped by numerous times throughout the year asking about the price and it’s always the same «well it’s $ 75, but we’re doing a special for $ 65, but if you want to do it today I can do it for $ 50.» Great time though. The boat is awesome, you get super wet so bring a change of clothes. You can be the «COOL» guy and not wear a poncho, but be aware, you will be placed in the part of the boat that gets the wettest ;)
Def try this out if you have the chance!

If you are looking for a fun, amazing and unique way to experience Sydney Harbour then this is for you. We had a great time and it was a great 30 minutes spent laughing, screaming and getting soaked through. You wear a long spray jacket and life vest and you think the spray jacket will protect you from most of the water but you realize pretty quick that the water proof jacket is just for show and that’s part of the fun. It’s not until you are waiting to get on the boat and the people getting off the boat are soaking wet that you know that you’re in for the thrill of a lifetime. The jet boating experience is hard to explain to people without grinning from ear to ear. Twists and turns and nose dives send water spraying in every direction and within minutes you are soaked and not caring one little bit (even though it was a freezing day and we realized we really hadn’t thought this through). Highly recommend anyone who loves new and different experiences should try this. The ride is video taped throughout and photos are taken as well and you can purchase them afterwards.

This is a must if you love a thrill and need an adrenaline rush! For a half an hour of fun while in Sydney, you have to try the Shark Attack Thrill ride and do be prepared to get soaked. An adventurous ride and if you have a GoPro camera or a waterproof camera, bring it.
For starters, the ticket is quite pricey at $ 75 for an adult and $ 45 for a child under 16. However, they do offer discounts for larger groups and you can always purchase the iventure card and it will be one of the attractions/​activities that you can choose to do. So glad I did. Once you arrive at the Circular Quay, where you’ll set off, you will have to leave all your belongings in a trunk they lock up and put on a parka that is honestly quite useless because it soaks up about 90% the water. Shoes also must be taken off. Luckily, I brought along a plastic poncho to wear underneath. Always be prepared: p
Before the ride commences, the driver will teach you a few hand signals to indicate «ok» or «spin» so that you can be prepared for a spin. They’ll also remind you of a few safety precautions. Just in case. Then you set off circling the entire Port Jackson! The driver will speed up and slow down to catch you off guard and make the ride more entertaining!
Make sure to go on a sunny day and bring a waterproof camera if you can! They offer purchase of pictures and a video afterwards, but it’ll set you back another $ 35:(

If you’re looking for a fun/​unqiue way to see the city from the ocean, this is the place to get it done!
From check-​in to pre-​boarding to disembarking — pure professionals through and through.
Once you’re strapped in, be sure to throw your hands in the air and get ready to get wet. You WILL get drenched, so make sure you bring a change of clothes or some wet gear. Ponchos are provided for you, but they protect about 15% of your clothes.

An extreme adventure experience, especially with my boyfriend at the time. We were all soaking wet. The closer you are to the end of the jet ski; hey it is expected; the more wet you are going to become. I think off hand the experience went for around 45 minutes or so and there was a safety demonstration beforehand; and the opportunity to put on your rain gear; despite that you feel oh so soaking wet at the end, even if you aren’t; this is the fun of this experience.
Love it how the sequence is mixed up. One minute you are drifting along Sydney Harbour, and then upping the ante up to a normal pace; of which these moments are definitely short lived; and then hang on tight your heart starts beating (could it have skipped a few beats? who knows for sure) and the adrenalin action happens where the boat picks up the pace to the extreme; making the ferries look tired in comparison, and it spins and slides where you can feel so incredible and seriously pumped and a bit wet; well your hair at least anyway. Not a place to worry about your make up; ladies that’s for sure. Goes all the way to Watson’s Bay and back to the quay.

Finally there’s something for tourists to do in Sydney, in the city, to get the blood pumping, to get the adrenaline going — and we’re all thankful that rules and regulations didn’t get in the way of this adventurous activity seeing the light of day.
I was here to go on a free trip when my mate was working for them, and it was a ride to remember. The acceleration is amazing, it truly puts you back in your seat, so say hello to your neighbour as you’re going to be rubbing shoulders for the 30 minute trip.
They go through the Sydney harbour foreshore, traveling very quickly to locations such as Taronga Zoo, Under the bridge, Botanical Gardens and Kirribilli point to see the Prime Ministers house.

Harbour Bridge, Opera House, chocolate café’s, ferries and aboriginal didgeridoo’s all make Circular Quay appealing and attractive. But what makes it a thrilling and adventurous fun place is a Jet Boat Ride.
The Shark attack thrill ride by Oz Jet boating runs every half hour from the eastern pontoon. They provide you with raincoats as you’re sure to get wet!
The fun starts when you sit in the jet boat, they teach you the different hand signals for «Ok» and «Not ok» and my favourite the «Spin». This motion indicates that they are now about to do a 260 degree spin in the water!
All though it starts slow, the Jet boat picks up (jet)speed immediately as it leaves past the Opera house. From then on, it races pasts boats, kayaks, ferries and sails towards the mouth of Sydney. Then they ‘spin’ starts and not once but more than 3 times you’re ’bout to be splashed with water! It is incredibly fast and fun!
Along the way they do point out different attractions that make Sydney so beautiful. Like the Taronga Zoo, the Governor’s house, Lighthouses, National parks, beaches etc.
I recommend sitting along the sides of the boat for maximum wetness and having a good time.
