Awesome 👌 Experience
The experience is absolutely 💯 % worth it. The whole trip was sooo much fun and the 360 spins were just wicked. Pedro was an awesome driver, he took the time In spots to talk to us about history and about the difference between all the jet boating companies and the routes they go, he also always checked on everyone after the spins too.. Everything was on time too with our booking . Highly recommend 👌.

A highlight
An incredible experience with Thunder Jet Queenstown! Pedro was an absolute legend - hilarious, informative, and had the perfect sounds pumping the whole ride. Our family of four, including two teenagers, had the best time taking in the scenery of Queenstown from both the lake and rivers. We sat right up front next to Pedro and, while we fully expected to get completely soaked, we walked away surprisingly dry! The 1-hour trip was the perfect mix of adrenaline, laughs, and breathtaking views. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Queenstown, definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
