What are E-Foils and How Do They Work?

An E-Foil is a battery-powered surfboard with a hydrofoil that lifts the rider above the surface as they accelerate. Unlike traditional surfboards, e-foils don’t rely on waves. Instead, they use an electric motor and remote-controlled throttle, making them accessible even for beginners. Riders balance while hovering silently above the water, making for a smooth and futuristic experience.

In Exmouth, the Waydoo Flyer E-Foil is a popular choice. It’s lightweight, intuitive to control, and perfect for calm coastal waters where you can learn in a safe, stable environment.

How Do Sea Scooters Enhance Underwater Exploration?

Sea scooters, also known as underwater scooters, allow snorkellers and swimmers to glide beneath the surface with minimal effort. They use compact electric propulsion to help users explore marine life and coral formations without fin fatigue.

Devices like the Navbow Sea Scooter are ideal for guided snorkelling tours, especially in Exmouth’s crystal-clear waters near Ningaloo Reef. Sea scooters are beginner-friendly and an exciting way to expand underwater visibility while staying safe and in control.

What Makes Jetpacks the Most Adrenaline-Filled Option?

Water-powered jetpacks shoot water downward, lifting you up to 10 metres into the air for a zero-gravity-like ride. Controlled by hand-operated nozzles and often guided by an instructor, jetpacks are the most visually striking of the three technologies.

For thrill-seekers visiting Exmouth, this is the ultimate experience—whether hovering, diving, or spinning above the ocean, the Flyboard and Jetpack options combine power with safety thanks to real-time instructor guidance and fitted safety gear.
