Jet Boat trip down the Waiau
Fantastic experience especially so for my two 11 year old grandsons and there Mother. The trip took us 10km down river before the return journey back to the start. Lots of spins, bumps, drops and getting wet. Near encounters with rocks along the way. Bonus info re the river and landscape. The boat driver was great he was extremely knowledgeable and competent. The whole ride was value for money.
