Purple Thunder Mackay Jet Boat Rides

Purple Thunder Mackay offers a 30 minute adrenaline-pumping adventure on the Pioneer River! They take you on an unforgettable jet boat ride, racing across the water as you skim past sandbars, power through narrow channels, and under the iconic Forgan bridge. Get ready for heart-stopping 360-degree spins, high-speed 180s, sideways drifts, power stops that will leave you breathless, laughing and soaking wet! Whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply looking to experience the river like never before, this is the ride of a lifetime! Buckle up, because the Purple Thunder is about to show you the Pioneer River in a whole new way! Meeting at Red Dog Brewery on River St for briefings 20 mins before booked ride times.
