This was one of the finest adventures of my looong life (76). The flight in was scenic and exciting; the track (especially the 1st half) was knock dead gorgeous; and the jet boat was amazing (and I am not a motor type guy in the wilderness, but it was fun). Both the plane pilot and the jet boat driver were really skilled. Worth every penny for a once in a lifetime adventure.

What an unbelievable experience! We loved every bit of it! The flight was spectacular - a blue sky day and amazing views. The hike was just right (3 hours), and the jet boat ride beauty in itself - spectacular rivers and countryside with the added benefit of being on the crystal clear waters. I would recommend this to anyone!

The scenic flight was amazing, definitely a must do BUT this package was definitely not worth the price … it was raining at the time so the hike was cancelled. I understand that they cannot control the rain so we weren’t disappointed. However, you can save atleast $500 dollars booking the jet boating and the flight separately. This price was not worth it and I feel ripped off. Scenic flights were only $250 so $635 dollars for a jet boat ride is outrageous. Please don’t make my mistake and book them separate.

Excellent adventure. We recommend you take a pair of river crossing sandals. Both the plane pilot Ryan and the jet boat pilot Hayden were expert navigators. 5 Stars for sure!
