Amazing combo tour! The jet boat was so much fun, felt so powerful and went so fast. The best were the 360 turns. Loved it! They then dropped us off on the way back at the helicopter tour. Great pilot who gave us detailed tour of the region and the views from above are gorgeous! Bear in mind the Helitour is at a different location so you have to make your way back from there after (already detailed in the tour description but some people didn’t realise).

Sailing the sunset cruise was a wonderful way to end our stay. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather, the sails went up, snacks were individually served with our drinks and the sunset was glorious. Seeing the Gold Coast light up as the captain brought us back was very special.
