Hibiscus Jetski Hire - FAQ
FAQ
You might have guess it by now, but just to make sure, we are a jetski hire or boat rental business.
You can rent one or more jetskis from us for as short as 30mins to experience that rush over the waves or go for the entire day.
For a really easy activity you can come to us and start off the beach with the jetski all ready for you to set off on the water.
Got a towbar on your ute and keen to go earlier? Then opt for our increasingly popular “Tow & Go!” where you drive away one jetski on a single trailer or two jetskis on our tandem trailer.
Have fun!
YES! Absolutely! Enjoy the freedom and independence of your ride, your way. You get all the safety induction required and we make sure you know how to operate your jetski safely and competently before you go out to have fun. Everything is thought of including fuel, so the price you pay is all-inclusive.
At least 15 minutes before your booking time.
We ask all of our customers to arrive earlier to allow sufficient time for their safety briefing and life jackets to be fitted. After that every driver gets an induction on how to operate the jetski followed by the first few minutes on the water of practice to then demonstrate their ability to safely handle the jetski before everyone is good to go.
You get jetski(s) and lifejacket(s) to go on the water to have fun at your heart’s desire. No guide – unless you want one – to tell you where to go and to slow down, well, apart from your passenger(s) of course! Our prices are all-inclusive for the induction, jetski(s), lifejacket(s), fuel and safety equipment.
No need, we will provide life jackets and cater for toddlers to XXXL adults.

Absolutely, why not give it a go. We get asked about fishing off a jetski very often and it is becoming very popular amongst fishing enthusiasts. Why? Well we think it is the perfect combination of fishing as an activity many of us enjoy so much with that thrill and fun experience of a jetski ride! An excellent way to spend your next day on the water. The best time is during the winter months and we have fully kitted jetskis for fishing incl. HD fish finder and chilly bins.

The Hauraki Gulf is a marine park of national significance. Many of the islands of the Gulf are pest free or partially pest free. This means they are now home to some of New Zealand’s rarest and most endangered species like tuatara, takahe, shore plover and kiwi. The islands are also recovering naturally as birds reintroduce themselves to these safe havens. It is important to keep them pest free – and we need your help to protect the Hauraki Gulf!
Please have a look here for more information:
Pest animals and plants can invade our islands by stowing away on or in your footwear, gear or boat. Insects could hide in your bag and weeds, seeds and soil could cling to your clothing and shoes.
Prepare for your trip:
- Ensure all footwear and gear is clean and free of soil.
- Seal up your gear & food as soon as you have finished packing and leave it closed until you reach your destination.
- “Leave only footprints!” with all rubbish to be taken and recycled or disposed off responsibly.
