Started well but turned out to be too extreme

2.00It seemed like fun to start with but some of the moves were far too violent. My wife sustained some bruising under her arm from being thrown against the side of the boat. Towards the end one turn went one way and then in the opposite direction so quickly that I expected to have whiplash. It was just too extreme. We did expect to be thrown around a bit as we have done it before in Canada but I'm afraid this was not good experience.
AMAZING!!

5.00Absolutely amazing!! The skipper made it even more amazing. His energy levels, his sense of humour, and his driving skills made this tour. The adrenaline of drifting out in the middle of the ocean was so much fun. I highly recommend!
Crazy good fun! We had a ball!
