I went on this jet boat ride with my partner who is much more daring than I am so I was a bit worried about how scary the ride would be. To my extreme pleasure it was one of the most enjoyable events of our trip to the North Island. The driver of the boat was very informative and made sure to explain everything and the manoeuvres that she would attempt. She was also very funny and it was great that we all seemed to enjoy the ride. My favourite parts were the fast turns on the water, they were very exciting and it was lots of fun watching others and yourself get splashed. It was lots of fun and definitely suitable for people of all inclinations. The view of the falls was spectacular and it trully showed how immense and powerful they are. Such an incredible experience, I would 100% recommend the jet boat ride if you're in the region.

Awesome

Mix a bit of classic kiwi humour with speed and buzz and you have something the whole family will enjoy. The kids loved it as much as the adults.
