5.00Really enjoyed this activity. Great friendly staff and then the ride was full of thrills and local information. But best of all was the trip to and manouvres in the Huka Falls. Just brilliant!

5.00This is an amazing thrill ride, fast & furious lol, hubby and I have been on this jet boat a couple times now and it NEVER disappoints! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Last time we went on it, they gave big blue jackets to keep you semi dry, this time round things have changed and they only give you a life jacket, so make sure to have some wet weather gear, a beanie and gloves however, in the summer time, who cares 😁PS: Expect to get wet....oh and if you have a weak tummy, this is probably not the ride for you😁
Easy check-in...

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.
