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

So fun

We had a great time. The staff were friendly and welcoming to me and my partner and our son with autism. They did LOTS of spins (more than the other jetboat company in Hanmer). Overall great time and would definitely recommend Amuri :)
