Amazing experience/ Korero of the awa.
Thank you to the jet driver and helper who supported me and the others into and out of the boat first of all. & the amazing korero the driver shared during the jet ride thank you for sharing about our people and the pounamu. Though, it was so cold and wet it was the best experience ever. First time on a jet too.....afew times I thought we were gonna tip lol 😆 but we didn't thank God!! I didn't feel like swimming in the cold lake. Apart from that it was so stunning along the lake and the speed was so out of this world. I will he coming back again in the future.
