Fantastic experience - It was a great experience to take such a fast boat across the river. Really sensational, lots of speed, turns, 360's etc.. The captain really tried his best to entertain us and gave a lot of information about the disturbance in between. Highly recommended! We laughed for an hour.

Six out of Five - Go Jets delivers an exhilarating hour of fun in the capable hands of Pat, who spent an hour speeding and spinning us up and down the beautiful Clutha River, ensuring that, by the end, we also had some historical and ecological context of it. The trip is excellent value for money and a great option amidst other providers. It’s topped by terrific customer service.
