We weren't sure if we'd be able to go on the jet boat due to the rain and river conditions, but luckily they were still able to take us out on one of the morning tours! The heated handle bars are so nice to have on a cold and wet day like we had and allowed for an enjoyable experience despite the conditions.

It was fun and exciting ride with many 360 deg spin. The Jet Pilot was friendly and fun! A good splash under the Hot Sun. haha

I just loved it all skimming close to the rocky river shores and getting close to the rock walls in the canyon was awesome then you add a couple of 180/360 spins. The boat driver was very nice when we had to stop he made sure we were all safe and enjoying ourselves & gave us some history and facts about the place. My son and I loved it
