Sydney Thunder Jet – Not Your Ordinary Boat Ride

Jet boating as it is called, is a refreshing way of touring Sydney Cove – refreshing in the sense that you’ll get soaked to your underwear throughout the ride despite the raincoats provided. It’s perfect for anyone who craves an adrenaline rush. The jet boat circles around the bay, passing the Opera House, Luna Park, Taronga Zoo and other areas not always visible on your regular ferry trip.

Our tour began at Darling Harbour We cruised underneath the Harbour Bridge and passed the Opera House allowing us time to enjoy the spectacular view of Sydney skyline. Once out in the wider area of the bay our skipper sped up and the real action began.

We span around repeatedly and our skipper did several power brake stops, which is similar to drifting in motor sports. It creates powerful wave that will come crashing down on all of you. Hence, a change of clothing is a must.
