If you’ve never been jet boating before but love the thrill of adrenaline, then Bad Fishy is a must-do experience when you next visit Cairns.
Imagine speeding down Trinity Inlet to the sounds of ACDC’s ‘Thunder’ or Pharrell Williams’s song ‘Happy’ with your hair blowing in the wind, before the jet boat spins full circle and you get a light drenching as the water sprays up from the side of the boat.
This is a great fun and guaranteed to leave you feeling pumped!

Bad Fishy runs jet boating trips in Cairns seven days a week.
Their trips provide an hour-long thrill-seeking jet boat ride along the spectacular Trinity Inlet behind Cairns and also out into the bay.
Apart from being able to enjoy the thrill of speeding along in a jet boat, this trip also enables you to see spectacular scenery as you whizz by the Cairns skyline, surrounding mountains and the mangrove waterways of Trinity Inlet.
If you’re lucky, you might even spot a saltwater crocodile sunning itself on the mangrove banks.
But have no fear because nobody has ever fallen overboard and Bad Fishy is completely safe with life jackets required and a safety bar fitted across each seat to keep all passengers safe and secure.
And Patrick gives plenty of warning before he spins the boat.
Once you see his arm in the air, he moves it in a circular motion to show you which direction he will be spinning the boat and counts down from three, two, one, with everyone joining in the countdown.
The only thing you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

Everyone!
This is definitely an all-ages experience that everyone will thoroughly enjoy.
It is obviously popular with tourists of all nationalities and is a good activity to do if you’ve got a bit of time before catching a flight.
But this trip is also great for corporate team building groups, kid’s birthday parties, school groups, bucks nights and hen’s nights.
It’s definitely just as much fun for locals as it is for tourists. And, you get to see a beautiful part of Cairns that many people miss out on.
