Fun for all. - I wasn't to sure if I'd enjoy it but I had a blast. I felt relaxed with the experience of the driver and I really liked his sense of humor. My children had never done it before and just loved it. I'd recommend it to everyone for a family fun time.

Wonderful experience! - Loved the experience! It was a long drive to the place but that was even better with our driver, Don, explaining everything about Christchurch. The driver of the jet boat was equally amazing. In short, wonderful experience, beautiful people!

The actual time in the boat is less than one hour, great scenery, but Viator should detail what you are getting for your money better!!
