Einfach nur hammer - Awesome experience

Dieser Ausflug war jeden Cent wert. Der "Fahrer" ist sehr sicher und ist ganz bewusst immer wieder sehr nah mit der Nase an die Steinmauern gefahren. Wer auf Adrenalin steht, sollte das auf jeden Fall machen.

Es war enttäuschend

Um ehrlich zu sein, war es ziemlich enttäuschend. Null Adrenalin, eig eher schnelleres Motorboot fahren und für jeden der schon einmal Motorboot gefahren ist, wird das langweilig sein. Es gab nur 3 360 grad Drehungen und nah an den Felswänden war man auch nicht...

From Amuri Jet - Jet Boating Experience on the Waiau River - Hanmer Springs

Seems strange, went through the video of the trip to reconfirm. and 9 spins were undertaken?

Absolute Empfehlung!

Die Fahrt hat uns mega viel Spaß gemacht und wir konnten den wundervollen Ausblick auf den Fluss genießen! Unser Guide und Fahrer hat an einigen Punkten gestoppt, sodass wir Fotos machen konnten und Infos zur Umgebung erhalten haben. Die Fahrt war lustig und rasant, Fotos vom Veranstalter selbst gab es am Ende auch noch kostenlos zum Download! Danke für das Erlebnis :)

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!

I convinced my family to do this for my birthday and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! There were 7 of us ages from 63-6 and we all loved it including our three kids (6,7,8). The ride it self was so long & worth every cent. THE VIEWS WERE INCREDIBLE. Can’t forget BRENDON also HE’s Gangsta (AWESOME), he made it thrilling and also informative. WE EVEN ENJOYED THE WALK DOWN AND UP FROM THE JET we literally laughed all the way up and down from the jet, slipped a bit and laughed more, and it was the greatest bonding time. Overall it WAS THE MOST FUN, FAMILY/KID FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE with great customer service. I don’t recommend going in barefeet like my husband as its rocky on the way down lol
