Awesome Jet boating experience - Awesome Jet boating experience with Aaron. Fun and excitement when up and moving, and pointing out the features of the valley, river, and jet boats while we had some quieter moments. Well worth doing.

Jet boat excellence! - Absolutely awesome jet boat ride with fantastic driver Marc. Stunning landscape through the Gorge, value for money! We’ve done other NZ jet boats, however this one tops them :) Recommend to everyone (the young kids on board loved it!)

Just do it - The jet boat is a blast! Had a lot of fun and Mark (our guide) was confident, had some very interesting facts about the area and was hilarious. Absolutely worth doing!

Absolutely awesome - You will get wet, you will laugh, you will have a lot of fun. Watch people bungy jump while you wait. Hardest part is the walk back up the hill once your finished

An exhilarating ride - Christian took us on a true adventure with many spins which added the extra thrill to our ride.it was an exhilarating ride and also informative as we understood how the jet boat was actually invented and how it operates. We also had a few spectators which were a group of goats atop a cliff on the side around 8km down the river. Loved it and highly recommend.
