Great experience - Great staff especially the driver who made sure everyone was enjoying the trip. Good fun and got right up to the falls. Loved the spins and saw the river and falls from a different angle.

Thrilling and memorable - Definitely a highlight of our family holiday so far! Our driver Scotty was awesome and gave us all some thrilling turns and laughs as well. Going up close to the falls was spectacular and the colours in the water were just beautiful. Highly recommend!

absolutely frntastic - Best experience, would recommend it to anyone visiting New Zealand especially Taupo.
Everything runs on time.
However some of the staff at the desk, girls, could do with some training on customer service and not be so snappy and sharp.

An amazing experience, and awesome way to see the falls! - We had an amazing family morning doing the jet boat in December. We honestly just had the most incredible time, our driver was so funny and really put our nerves at ease. Two of us sat up front which was heaps of fun, the others sat second row back with made for a *slightly* calmer ride. 10/10 will recommend everyone does this on their visit to TaupÅ!
