Brought my 3 teenage boys out on the water for a thrilling jet boat ride. Andrew was fab as our guide. Highly recommend.
So nice to soak in the many options of pools, even on a rainy day. Staff are wonderful and all very accommodating and helpful.
Was a bit like the driver just wanted to get you from the start to finish in as boring a way as possible. Did a few 360s but they hardly swung you around or got you wet. Yes there were kids on board but I was bored tbh. Driver drove in straight lines through the river hardly doing any maneuvers. I was let down as I was expecting more from previous jet boat experiences. Be aware the route to and from the boat is about a 60-70m steep downhill gravel road with a rope to hold onto on the side. Not good if you have walking problems.
Amazing and friendly crew....and a must have experience.
