Rapid Jet Taupo
Amazing experience, check in staff really pleasant, boat driver Jacob was great even if he did give us stick for being Aussie. We know the little Cuz’s can feel intimidated by us 😂 Great value and highly recommended

Rapids Jet is a must do!
Rapids Jet was awesome and I'd recommend it to all families looking for an exciting activity. Our driver Jacob was hilarious and made a real effort to connect with each passenger. Our 6yo is still raving about it!
