A dad who says he hates fuss but secretly enjoys being thrown around. Not for anyone with back, neck or heart conditions.
What it is
A 30-minute high-speed jet boat ride from Circular Quay with sideways slides, fish tails, wave riding and spins, past the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Taronga Zoo.
Why we picked it
Thirty minutes is the right length for a thrill gift, because it is over before he can decide he is too old for it. It is also the rare Sydney experience that a visiting dad and a local dad both find worth doing.
