4.00The jet boat was great. Got the heart pumping and a great laugh. The only problem I had was when booking through TripAdvisor they didn’t send enough details what jetty it was on through the app, we had to ring the company and ask as we were waiting at the address as the app said so nearly missed the boat.
Must do
