WHAT A RIDE!

I took my two kids (10 and 13) on the 25 minute jet boat ride and we absolutely loved it. It was a real adrenaline rush and our driver Kate was awesome, taking us very close to trees, buoys and the bridge doing at least ten 360 degree spins. I’d definitely recommend it.

25 min jet boat experience - well worth it

Awesome deal and experience, great customer service from both check in person and jet boat operator, couldn’t have asked for more friendly service! Well worth the experience

Super awesome

Had a blast with my family. The driver was insanely well trained. I was a little hesitant to pay $99pp for a 25mins ride but so glad I did it anyways. I wanted to go again but sadly there is no discount for a second round 😅 Also wish the staff that check us in makes a little effort to pronounce names properly. It is a tourist place after all and I think it’s very important to make an effort to learn people’s name when they check in.
