Rapid Jet Rave
This was a fantastic experience from booking, to the friendly greeting at reception and the jetboat experience. My wife wasn’t so sure before but is still buzzing about it now. Give yourself a buzz and do it!

Rapids Jet
If your heading to Taupo., I highly recommend trying RapidsJet adventure. Fast, fun, and full of adrenaline and the driver named Shannon is really good and knowledgeable- you won't regret it. We had a best time and enjoyed every second. of it.
