“A must-do experience on the Gold Coast! I did the jet boat ride with Hayden at the Sea World Cruises Terminal, and it was absolutely incredible.”

Made for this moment

Less ordinary. More adrenaline.

The open water. The sudden spin. That can’t-stop-grinning feeling. This is the Gold Coast from a different angle and a ride you’ll be talking about long after you’re back on dry land.

More FAQs & planning
Why is Arro Jet the best jet boating experience on the Gold Coast?

If your idea of the best Gold Coast jet boat experience is more action from the start, Arro Jet is built for it. Arro departs from Main Beach at the Sea World Marine Precinct, beside the Broadwater high-speed zone, so you get into the action quickly. Choose between 30-minute Classic and 45-minute Signature experiences, with purpose-built jet boats, experienced pilots, spins, slides, Broadwater sightseeing, free parking and a waterfront base with café, bar and viewing deck. The best ride depends on what matters most to you, but these are some of the reasons guests choose Arro.

What makes Arro Jet different from other Gold Coast jet boat rides?

Arro Jet combines a Main Beach departure close to the Broadwater high-speed zone with purpose-built jet boats, high-speed manoeuvres and a route designed to show you more of the Gold Coast waterways. The experience is about more than spins. It brings together speed, spray, sightseeing, music, crew personality and the Gold Coast itself.

Where does Arro Jet depart from?

Arro Jet departs from the Sea World Cruises Terminal on Seaworld Drive, Main Beach, Gold Coast. Free parking is available in the Sea World car park, and you do not need a Sea World theme park ticket to ride.

Does Arro Jet depart from Surfers Paradise?

No. Arro Jet departs from Main Beach at the Sea World Marine Precinct, rather than central Surfers Paradise. The location puts Arro close to the Broadwater high-speed zone and includes free parking, a waterfront viewing deck, café and bar.

What is the difference between the Classic and Signature Arro Jet experiences?

The Classic Experience is the shorter 30-minute option, designed for guests who want a fast hit of speed, spins and Broadwater action. The Signature Experience runs for 45 minutes and gives you more time for high-speed manoeuvres, sightseeing and exploring the Broadwater. Both depart from Main Beach.

Does Arro Jet go to South Stradbroke Island?

Arro Jet routes can explore areas around South Stradbroke Island and Sovereign Island, depending on the experience, conditions and operational requirements on the day. Routes can change so the pilots can deliver the best experience safely for the conditions.

How much does a Gold Coast jet boat ride cost?

Arro Jet offers different fares for the Classic and Signature experiences, with pricing varying by product, departure and availability. Current prices should be displayed directly from the booking system here, so guests and search engines always see the latest available fare.

Is Arro Jet suitable for children and families?

Yes, subject to the ride requirements. Guests must be at least 5 years old and 120 cm tall, and children must ride with an adult. Arro Jet is popular with families looking for something more energetic than a traditional sightseeing cruise.

Will I get wet on an Arro Jet ride?

Yes. Getting splashed is part of the experience. Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, bring a towel and consider a change of clothes for afterwards.

Is Arro Jet safe?

Safety is built into every ride. Guests receive a safety briefing and life jacket before riding, and Arro uses experienced jet boat pilots and purpose-built vessels. Guests should follow all crew instructions and check the medical and ride requirements before booking.

Do I need a Sea World ticket to ride Arro Jet?
