LOOKING FOR AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF BAD FISHY JET BOATING?

Well, too bad. You’re not getting one here because I tried doing that deep-dive s**t for ages and it didn’t work. So, now I’m doing the short-and-savage, I no longer GAF version. Hold on tight; it’s a rollercoaster. And absolutely useless.

Also, Bad Fishy Jet Boating doesn’t exist anymore. It’s been rebranded into Cairns Jetboating. Could that name BE any more generic? You guys didn’t even try, did you? Just nailing that SEO searchability game on that one, amiright? (But now all the pictures of the boat are wrong.)

BOOK IT!

Jet Boating Experience.

Pros.

  • Seat belt and lap bar mean that this is a wild freaking wild ride! Did it deliver? Check!
  • Skipper was as energetic and mischievous as the Boaty-McBoat Face implies.
  • He was having so much fun, which translates into “I’m trying my best to throw you the f**k out of this boat and feed you to the crocodiles! Best jetboat ride ever!
  • Fast, circle, wet, rinse, repeat. It’s like being in a—what do you call those washing machines you load from the top? A Top Loader! That’s it.

  • Top tier! Buy that bitch a beer.
An epic and exhilarating way to kickstart a trip to Cairns.

Overall Bad Fishy Jet Boating Experience.

Rating: 9.5 out of 10.

Very good. Hold on tight so you don’t fall in; the crocodiles will eat you.

Is It Good Value For Money?

Rating: 9 out of 10.

Yes. The price is definitely a little jacked up, but it’s the best jet boat I’ve ever been on, which is like 4. So just f**king book it already.

I give it a thumbs up! (That’s not my thumb, but whatever.)

Would I Go Jetboating On Bad Fishy Again?

Well, they rebranded, so I can’t really. They are now much more lamely called “Cairns Jet Boating.” They kept the mischievous fish even though there’s no connection to the name anymore, which just adds insult to injury, but now it’s electric blue and black. So it’s still cute AF, so I say ride the crazy fishy! Because it’ll still be less batshit crazy than your ex!

Cairns Jetboating, formerly Bad Fishy Jet Boating, is a wildly fun and absolutely exhilarating experience that no adrenaline-loving visitor to Cairns should miss. You get to see the spectacular city and mountain scenery, tear around the stunning Trinity Creek, and get totally drenched, which is just the perfect way to cool from Far North Queensland’s ridiculous humidity.
