What it is

Launched from Big Manly Beach on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, Hibiscus JetSki Hire puts riders on their own jet ski with the Hauraki Gulf's island-dotted horizon spread out in front of them. Hire options range from a 30-minute splash to a full six-hour day out, while self-guided tours reach places like Tiritiri Matangi Island wildlife sanctuary. Fuel, safety equipment, and real-time GPS tracking are included, and first-timers receive a thorough briefing before heading out.

The operator holds a Department of Conservation Pest-Free Warrant, meaning every departure includes a gear check and conservation briefing to protect the Gulf's island sanctuaries — so the adventure carries genuine environmental care alongside the adrenaline.

Families, couples, and groups who want to explore Auckland's northern coastline from the water rather than the shore will find this a genuinely hands-on way to do it. Free parking with no time restrictions and changing facilities with showers sit right at the launch point.

Such a great experience on the Jetskis! Perfect conditions and a lovely sunny day. Jurgen was great from start to finish and provided us clear instructions on how to operate the Jetskis and went the extra mile to create an itinerary for our day exploring Kawau Island and the surrounding areas. Definitely recommend this company!

First-time jet skiers, and we had an absolute blast! Jurgen had everything ready for us, and the early-morning 2-hour session was perfect with calm water and great weather. Loved the waterproof phone puch so I could take photos stress-free. We rode out towards Tiritiri Island, hit some fun waves, and even reached 70 km/hr on the way back - such an adrenaline rush. Jugern was friendly, clear with instructions, and made us feel completely confident before heading out. To top it off, he even took great pics for free. Tips:There's a waiver in the booking confirmation email-read and sign before you get to the beach. We highly recommend these guys, and I'm already saving up for round two!

Was an absolute beaut day spent well out on the jet skis, being able to explore as much as we did today. Was such a cool experience. Good day, great company. Came all the way from Rotorua. Definitely worth the 2 & a half hour drive over!! We will be back to experience it all again with yous :)

We booked early for New Year’s Eve and even though there was a bit of dumb weather, it came right and Jürgen knew exactly where to launch us from to enjoy the experience. We all felt safe and informed both on how to operate the JetSki and where to go and what to expect with the waves. All in all I would recommend to everybody as you can just take it easy or go hard. You could even take kids too.

First time trying the jet-ski experience, and wow it was not only exciting for the adults, my family including my 4 year old daughter also had lots of fun in the “biscuit”. The staff were very friendly and informative too. It’s great to have such a fun experience locally. Highly recommended!
