Hit the engines and GO! Easy check in and the driver gave you a show a bit of a shower. Enjoyed it a lot.

It was great. Our boat operator was super chill about everything and even took us as close to the waterfall as possible. Definitely recommend going. 🗣️🔥
So much fun and a great way to see the power of Huka Falls up close.

So much fun. You may get a little wet from the spray but it just adds another element to such great fun. Thrilling and exciting but felt safe as the driver had great skills and experience.
Can't see the falls without it. Do it in the rain!

Great excursion. Don't ever let the weather stop you from doing this one. We went in the rain and it was fantastic. Made getting wet from the turns and spins all that much better. Got amazing views of the falls, from Very close. This is the best way to see the falls and explore the river

A really fun experience, made more enjoyable by our tour guide Scott. We did get wet but not ridiculously so. If you get travel sickness, you may want to rethink this one as there are lots of 360° turns.
