Wet but great fun - Even though it was raining hard & we got drenched, the boat ride was still great fun. Mike was our captain, and was very pleasant & knowledgeable. He mixed speed, donuts and local stories very well. We had a great time.

Best Jetboat Ride Ever - Absolutely amazing experience! The history behind the places we visited is spectacular. The ride was so much 'FUN' me and my little family wish it never ended. However this feeling shows how awesome the experience was. I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND & I will be back in the future, definitely.

Work Christmas Function - Had a great time out on the lake with the team from Katoa. Came for our Christmas function and they were very accomodating and very professional but also fun. Bex was a great driver (even if we did get a tad soaked) and had some great information about the local history and culture. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try some local thrills
