Our jet boat driver was amazing- he managed to get every last person on the boat absolutely soaking. His skills had us all shrieking and thinking he was trying to make us crash into giant rocks, only to move ever so slightly at the last moment. So much fun!

Our second time going Quad biking with these guys, the guide Chris and owners are amazing and super friendly! We’ll be back, it’s the best way to spend a sunny avo when the pools are too hot and packed! 😊 Lots of hill climbing, stream crossings, mud and straights! All while you have the most gorgeous view of the river and mountains. Don’t forget your sunnies and sunblock!

The overall ride experience is awesome apart from going up and down the dock as it is not safe enough for older people or families with small kids.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!

I convinced my family to do this for my birthday and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! There were 7 of us ages from 63-6 and we all loved it including our three kids (6,7,8). The ride it self was so long & worth every cent. THE VIEWS WERE INCREDIBLE. Can’t forget BRENDON also HE’s Gangsta (AWESOME), he made it thrilling and also informative. WE EVEN ENJOYED THE WALK DOWN AND UP FROM THE JET we literally laughed all the way up and down from the jet, slipped a bit and laughed more, and it was the greatest bonding time. Overall it WAS THE MOST FUN, FAMILY/KID FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE with great customer service. I don’t recommend going in barefeet like my husband as its rocky on the way down lol

Spectacular ride!

Took daughter and son in law and enjoyed the thrill of the speeding zig zagging boat but also the spectacular scenery of rushing water down a gorge with rocks rising steeply on either side, opening up to views of snow capped mountains in the distance.

The staff are fantastic. Each one had spunk, personality, humour and down to earth. We probably would of liked a 5 minute down time in between each activity tho as we didn't get a chance to catch our breath after the hirendous walk back up the hill. You guys should get a little trailer for one of the quads and drive people up and down. An extra thrill haha. Thanks for an amazing day team ??

What a fantastic opportunity bookme presented. We would never have considered at all had we not found your incredible deals for this trip. Aaron our boat driver was professional and personable, dishing up fun and facts during the trip, along with some thrilling 360 turns and close encounters with cliff faces. Exceptional value all round.

The Staff are very friendly I even left my action cam and went back to Christchurch but they assisted me right away how it can be delivered to me right away. The experience was awesome! I thought its just going to be a normal jet boat ride not until the driver did some really tricky manoeuvre and 360 spins but we felt safe the whole ride because the driver never failed to remind us what to do and not to do. Even though it was gloomy the view was still amazing. I woudl definitely bring my family next time so they too can experience this awesome adventure.

The actuql jet boating and staff were fricken awesome. Was smiling ear to eat the whole time, part way through I actuqlly had to stop smiling as my cheeks got sore. Only thing that tained the experience was the hill/driveway that we had to walk down and up to get to and from the jet was a bit of a let down. Actual jet boat experience was awesome, but the in and out kind of took away some of the enjoyment, even just a trailer or tractor would do to take people up and down :)
