Adventure brief
Jet-ski the Cape Naturaliste coast: a two-hour Lighthouse Tour from Quindalup past Meelup and Bunker Bay
Embark on the Lighthouse Tour: a fully guided jet-ski run that threads Dunsborough’s sheltered bays and beaches — including stretches of Meelup Regional Park — before reaching the limestone caves beneath Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. The route pairs scenic cruising with a faster return run out wide, offering both coastal views and high-speed excitement in roughly two hours.
Located along the southwestern coast of Western Australia, Quindalup is a coastal gateway to the crystal-clear waters of Geographe Bay. At 371 Geographe Bay Rd, Dunsborough Jetski Tours offers an electrifying two-hour Lighthouse Tour that perfectly marries adrenaline and coastal scenery. This guided jet ski adventure threads through the undulating bays and beaches of Meelup Regional Park, spotlighting hidden coastal gems few get to witness firsthand.
Beginning from the Quindalup boat ramp, riders skim past the calm waters of Curtis Bay and Castle Bay, with panoramic views of Meelup Beach’s white sands and the rugged cliffs at Point Picquet. The route arcs out to Eagle Bay and Bunker Bay before tracing towards the iconic Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. The area’s limestone caves near the lighthouse offer a dramatic geological contrast to the smooth sea surface below. Along the way, naturalists and wildlife lovers will likely spot dolphins weaving through the waves, whales migrating offshore, and sea lions lounging on rocky outcrops.
After soaking in these coastal wonders, the return leg amps up the thrill with faster, open-water runs. This section gives riders a genuine taste of jet skiing’s speed and agility, making it an ideal blend of scenic appreciation and high-energy fun. With a maximum of two riders per jet ski, Dunsborough Jetski Tours emphasizes safety and comfort, providing all necessary gear, thorough briefings, and expert instructions that welcome newcomers and experienced riders alike.
This tour stands out in the local outdoor scene because it combines access to protected marine parks with hands-on adventure and wildlife encounters.

Whether you’re chasing wildlife sightings or looking to push your limits on the water, this Lighthouse Tour crafts an unforgettable coastal experience.
