It was about as much fun as you can have in half an hour. Our pilot Jacob was highly skilled and entertaining both as a jet boat pilot and guide. My whole family loved it.
Best time ever

Well delivered boat ride, great fun, great staff. Busts of speed and turns, over rapids several times, stationary river facts were given at appropriate points.
