Best experience
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.It was raining slightly but it was still great fun. The adrenaline with the 360 turns was the best!!

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!

Amazing family fun
Was a fun family activity, Mike was an excellent guide, very informative, friendly. Was near to learn some history about Rotorua and the jet boat ride was very fun especially the 360. Would recommend to anyone the jet boat ride.
