Great experience for 1hr, lots of boat spins, beautiful views of the mountains, awesome!!

Great spot right in town. Recommend 100%

Worth it!
Matthew was a great driver. Had a cool experience. Was the second time I've been on this but the last time we did way more spins. Would definitely do it again next time I'm in Queenstown.
