What to Expect
Other than an experience of a lifetime, you’ll see some of the most picturesque cityscapes Brisbane has to offer. Your guided ride traces the meandering Brisbane River from Breakfast Creek to South Bank and back, blending skyline views, heritage landmarks, and calm river reaches perfect for jet skiing. While on tour, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as cormorants, pelicans, rays, and—on lucky days—dolphins moving with the tide.
Your Voyage
Your Brisbane River adventure begins at Breakfast Creek (Newstead) with check-in and a practical safety and controls briefing. After a short familiarisation, you’ll head downstream, taking in:
-
Brisbane Powerhouse – A striking riverside arts venue, originally an industrial powerhouse; great photo op with New Farm Park adjacent.
-
Story Bridge – Glide beneath the city’s iconic steel cantilever bridge; throttle back for a moment to enjoy the view.
-
The Pink Mansion – A head-turning riverside residence that always gets a second look.
-
The Star Casino – Skim past the city reach with views of Brisbane’s entertainment precinct (river conditions permitting).
-
Queensland Maritime Museum – A nod to Australia’s maritime heritage along the South Brisbane reach.
-
Wheel of Brisbane (Turnaround Point) – Circle at South Bank’s riverside hub with sweeping skyline vistas before beginning the return run upstream.
The route offers a unique, ever-changing perspective of Brisbane—leafy parklands, heritage facades, and modern architecture—before returning to Breakfast Creek with a grin you can’t shake.
Cultural & Historical Notes
The Brisbane River—known traditionally as Maiwar—has been a life source for local First Nations peoples for thousands of years. Today, it frames Brisbane’s identity: the Powerhouse reborn from industry to arts, the Story Bridge symbolising connection and resilience, and South Bank transformed after Expo ’88 into the city’s gathering place.
Flexible Pace & Photo Stops
Our tours cater to your preferences. If you’d like a leisurely cruise with multiple photo pauses, your guide will build them in at safe vantage points. If you prefer a more spirited ride (within conditions and group ability), we’ll set a tempo that matches the experience level of participants.
Please Note
Poseidon Jet Ski Tours perform a practical competency skill test prior to the commencement of all tours. Poseidon Jet Ski Tours reserve the right to cease or terminate a tour if the driver demonstrates a level of incompetence or behaves in a manner deemed to be a risk to themselves or other users.
We also advise checking the weather before making a booking.

Bookings Terms & Conditions
These booking terms and conditions apply to bookings you make with Peterpans Adventure Travel PTY LTD (ACN 673 404 389) trading as Peterpans Travel (whether over the phone or by email) as well as online bookings you make on our website. We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveller on the booking and that person will bind all such travellers to these terms and conditions.
The ticket(s) (“voucher(s)”) for your travel or experience are booked by us on your behalf with various Service Providers. Each Service Provider may have their own terms and conditions applying to your travel. It is important that you read the relevant and corresponding brochure for each of your bookings in order to understand all applicable terms and conditions. If you require additional information to that contained in the brochure then we recommend that you contact the Service Provider for further clarification.
BOOKING CONFIRMATIONS
Your responsibilities: Open tickets: You must book your travel dates in advance with the individual Service Provider as per the details provided on your voucher.
Tickets with booked dates: It is your responsibility to ensure you redeem your vouchers on the dates booked. If you wish to change these dates you must organise it with the Service Provider directly, with adequate notice. You must reconfirm all booked dates 48 hours prior to travel (minimum guide only) or in the manner stated on your voucher. If applicable, dietary requirements should also be confirmed at this time.
CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS
Credit card fees, and additional fees paid to us for deposits of accommodation, transport and luggage storage are not transferable or refundable.
Please note that deposits on bookings are also non-refundable but may be used as credit towards future bookings.
Cancellations by service providers
If a service provider cancels your booking for any reason you WILL NOT be charged any cancellation fee and will be entitled to a full refund (other than any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider). ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON-REFUNDABLE, in some cases it may be transferable.
Cancellations by you outside of 14 days from the date of travel
Where you provide us with at least 14 days’ notice that you wish to cancel your booking for any reason, you will be charged a 10% cancellation fee and will be entitled to a refund (in addition to any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider) or can transfer, with no fee, any balance (in addition to any amount we are charged as a cancellation fee on your behalf by the service provider) to a new booking or credit voucher. ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON-REFUNDABLE, in some cases it may be transferable.
Cancellations by you within 14 days of the date of travel
Where you provide us with less than 14 days notice that you wish to cancel your booking for any reason, you will be charged a 30% cancellation fee and will be entitled to a refund ( in addition to any amount we are charged on your behalf by the service provider) or can transfer, with a $30 per product transfer fee, any balance (in addition to any amount we are charged as a cancellation fee on your behalf by the service provider) to a new booking or credit voucher. ALL TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION is NON REFUNDABLE, in some cases they may be transferable.
In addition, if a Service Provider charges us for the cancelled travel you must also pay us the amount that we are charged on your behalf by the Service Provider. It is, therefore, possible your cancellation fees could be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced (for example cancellations made within 24hrs of travel or certain flight bookings). The Cancellation Fee will apply in all cases where a tour is able to run. For example, if you are unable to reach a tour due to an “act of God” (for example a road is cut off due to flooding) the normal Cancellation Fee will apply if the tour still runs in your absence or would have run but for your absence. If a tour or other travel service is cancelled by the Service Provider, we will refund you in full the amount paid for the tour or other travel service. This full refund is subject to a fully refundable amount being given to our agency from the supplier who is cancelling. We highlight here that all suppliers have different cancellation terms.
All refunds will occur in the local currency and will be refunded to the same card that payment was made with. If your credit card uses a different currency, the amount refunded may be different from the original amount paid due to exchange rate fluctuations. We are not liable for these fluctuations, or any fees your bank charges.
Please note that in the case of natural disasters (e.g. flood, fire, cyclone, etc.), many Service Providers do not offer refunds, and we may therefore be unable to provide a refund to you. We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover this situation.
The 10% or 30% agency cancellation fee does not apply to: Dive Courses where you fail a Dive Medical test; or Skydives cancelled by the Service Provider within 3 days of booking due to weather, in which case a full refund will apply.
Where a refund or other payment applies, you may choose to transfer the full cost of your booking to another tour. However, a transfer fee of $30 may apply. While we aim to process refunds swiftly, high-demand situations (such as natural disasters) may result in delays.
We strongly recommend purchasing a travel insurance policy at the time of booking to protect yourself against unexpected cancellations and changes. Depending on your policy, your insurance provider may cover up to 100% of cancellation fees and other costs incurred. Cancellation fees for tours and bus bookings can be up to 100%, so having appropriate coverage can help minimise financial risk.
Please act responsibly and with respect on your travels. All Service Providers reserve the right to cancel bookings based on recommendation from another provider due to misconduct/misbehaviour during another stage of their trip. We will treat this as any normal cancellation and charge the above-mentioned Cancellation Fee, plus any Service Provider fees.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We endorse the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that all travellers take out travel insurance. It is your personal responsibility to purchase your own travel insurance to cover any liability which may be incurred to us or a Service Provider and other travel misadventures that you wish to be insured against. We recommend that you source travel insurance with a low excess payment, to make claiming on cancelled tours worthwhile.

PRICES
We endeavour to package the best value tours available at the best prices. However, we take no responsibility for price fluctuations arising from changes in the prices charged by Service Providers occurring before final payment. The price of your travel is subject to change until such time as you pay for the travel in full.

These expenses will differ for each Service Provider but some of the more usual extras may include: EMC Tax, Stinger suit Hire, Luggage storage, Sleeping Bag Hire, Linen Hire, National Park Fee, Food, Insurance, Accommodation, Equipment Hire, Petrol Levy. We will alert you to extra costs to the extent reasonably practicable. However, you must also check with each individual Service Provider when you confirm your voucher.

Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least 6 months validity from the date of return and some countries require a machine-readable passport.
