Highly recommend - We had a really good time with this boat ride. Had a fun and energetic driver, which made the experience even better. Quite a short time in the boat, but do get a lot from the speed and 360s. Able to get up and close to the Huka falls, which was a unique viewpoint to have. Wear a good jacket as lots of spray

First Discount, High Cost - Iâm deeply saddened that today, nothing went as planned. My skydiving trip, with a 12,000-ft jump and hotel pick-up, was canceled with a promised refund, but my jet boat booking failed due to a mix-up with the pick-up locationâdifferent from skydivingâand customer service blamed me, denying a refund. Itâs 4:35 PM NZST, June 19, 2025, and I just want this resolved with the refund I deserve.
