Exhilarating and unique way to see Sydney Harbour - This is one of the best things I've ever done on Sydney Harbour. The day was warm and sunny and getting splashed was the goal. It was such a great way to see all the bays and suburbs and mansions as you navigate the perimeter of the harbour whilst experiencing the thrill of jetboating and all the spins and splashes. I had a smile on my dial the whole 45 minutes. This was a gift from my children via RedBalloon and I loved every minute of it. Even though I was wearing a poncho, my pants and shoes still got wet but I had planned for it and took a change of clothes and shoes with me. They have a locker you can leave your bags and phones etc in whilst on your ride. I will definitely do this again with a friend or two next time I visit Sydney.
