4.00Super cool experience. Big smile from the beginning to the end. Nice guide who has perfect command of the boat. Only in such an expensive activity they would have to deliver the digital photos for free without watermarking right through it.
Don't fall for booking...

Great fun

1.00I’m deeply saddened that today, nothing went as planned. My skydiving trip, with a 12,000-ft jump and hotel pick-up, was canceled with a promised refund, but my jet boat booking failed due to a mix-up with the pick-up location—different from skydiving—and customer service blamed me, denying a refund. It’s 4:35 PM NZST, June 19, 2025, and I just want this resolved with the refund I deserve.
