Hi Kywoontae kim Thank you for bringing your family to Hanmer Springs for jet boating, our drivers always sit the adults on the outside to keep the children safe, so they can enjoy the ride. We would love you to visit us again, I am sure the children would love to, thanks , The Hanmer Springs Attractions Team.

재미있는 경험 이였습니다.
5살, 3살 아이와 함께 보트를 즐겼습니다. 무더운 여름날이였기 때문에 무척 시원하고 즐거웠습니다. 5살 아이는 타기전에는 무서워 했지만 즐거워 했고 3살 아이는 좀 무서워 해서 제가 옆에서 아이를 앉아주고 잡아주어야 했습니다. 제트보트는 시원한 바람을 맞으면 속도감과 재미를 느낄 수 있었습니다. 추천합니다.
