5.00We had an amazing experience with this jet boating company. The team were professional, experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how personal the whole experience felt — it didn’t feel like a big, impersonal corporate operation at all. They took the time to connect with everyone, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The ride itself was so much fun and full of excitement, with plenty of laughs along the way. A truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone.
Fun and exciting!

5.00We had an amazing trip on Boxing Day with Go Jets, Pat was our driver and Tracey was on shore setting us up. Super friendly hosts. Pat was great, stopped & told us lots of about the river & pointed lots of things out to us that we would not have noticed or known. Heaps of fun, spins & splashes! Really loved it, thanks Pat & Tracey !
Great trip

5.00Great family activity - extremely friendly and helpful staff - well worth it. The boat looked as though it could fit 10, we had 2 rows of 4 (8 total) - several stops to explain landmarks and historical points of interest as well as warm up after some light splashes from the 180s and 360s before poking off again.
