Exhilarating Ride - Exhilarating ride that got my adrenaline pumping! The crew was super organized and got us all suited up on a cold rainy day. Our captain Chris was funny, informative, and an excellent driver. I had a great time, and I’m so glad I signed up for this optional excursion. I was on a grand Circle tour. We all loved it. We needed something like this to wake us up after a long travel day.

Fantastic Jet Boat Ride - Took this journey because our Glow Worm tour was cancelled and SO GLAD we did. They provide everything, coats, hats, gloves, glasses to allow for a comfortable experience. We were on a Tauck tour and had a Jet Boat trip scheduled later on our tour but this was 100%+ better. Chris the owner was our guide and he was outstanding. He gave a great safety briefing and was constantly checking with the his passengers to make sure they were enjoying the trip. He told us he would be doing spins with each one getting a bit more aggressive and confirmed with us the next level spin was good with everyone, IT WAS! We also had a walk in the forest and drank crystal clear water from the lake. Chris also showed us with pictures where some of the scenes from Lord of the Rings was filmed. If you are in Te Anau don’t miss this ride!!

Alex made our experience so much better! - Went out on a rainy, overcast afternoon and we were a little apprehensive about enjoying this experience but have to say, our driver and guide, Alex, absolutely made this enjoyable and memorable for us. She shared so much knowledge, interesting facts, and it is clear that she truly loves her job and spinning the heck out of that jet boat. An awesome human who is an asset to this business. Definitely deserves a pay rise!
