Fun times!!
Our family has the best time. Our driver was awesome, funny and has some real skills. Would love to do it again!

Great for families
We booked the 30min ride and it was perfect for us as we had two young kids. This was their first jetboat ride and they got to experience the thrill of the spins, whilst not being on the boat for too long (compared to 60min ones).

Amazing experience
This is a must do experience, we had such a great time and laughed from start to finish. Always felt safe and had every confidence in the driver. Will definitely do again next time we are in NZ
