I really enjoyed the ride, the driver is so cool and have a nice and loud music to enjoy the whole ride. I also appreciate that they give a space if you book in a group of 5 so me and my friends seat together in one row. I will definitely recommend this ride and will do it again next time. friendly staff as well. my 4yrs old daughter really enjoy this extreme activity, but because she gets bored easily she just sleep half way of the trip I found put so funny. few of advise go earlier than the booked time because we almost missed the ride as they leave on time.
I had a great time!
So glad you had fun out there, Kimberly! It's a pretty cool backyard to be on the water! We hope to see you again soon! 🤘
I have fear of water, so never do any water activities but mannn i had so much fun. Couldn’t open my eyes for the first couple of 360 turns but after that it was all fun and games. It was the most enjoyable thing we did when we were in queenstown, would definitely recommend…
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌊 We’re especially thrilled that you stepped outside your comfort zone and ended up having such an amazing time in Queenstown. Those 360° turns can be a little daunting at first, so it’s fantastic to hear it became the highlight of your trip! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again for more adventure soon!
Kia Ora, Thanks for the awesome review! We're glad you had a great experience on Thunder Jet.

Great fun
We enjoyed our time in the boat . Jess is a great driver and she is fun . It was cold out there “could not feel my hands at the end “ However the spins were fun but my wife and I felt a bits sick towards the end and wanted them to stop. More shard driving along the sheds would have been more fun . But overall great fun .
