Ok

Leider kein großer Adrenalin-Faktor, ansonsten aber eine schöne Fahrt über den See mit einer kurze Einführung in die Geschichte der Entstehung Rotoruas. Freundliches Personal und für den Preis, den Spaß auf jeden Fall wert.

Katoa Jet Boat

We scored an awesome deal through Bookme — it was super easy and quick to use. The experience itself was so much fun, and the facilitator was absolutely hilarious and really entertaining. We’ll definitely be making this a must-do on all our future trips to Rotorua. 10/10!
