Great and Thrilling Experience
Published on Mar, 2025
The scenery was beautiful, and the boat ride was fun. Our driver was pleasant and very skilled. The boat was an engineering wonder and was created here.
Such a fun time! Great...

shotover jet experience
Published on Feb, 2025
This is an amazing experience for someone has not been on a white water river or in a jet boat. It appears to be on the edge with the possibility of accidents but also very safe. to be within 3 feet of a canyon wall and doing up to 95 Km was scary. ( I was on the outside at the back ) and got a lot of movement and a little bit of water which I was told to expect. Karen and I really enjoyed the ride.
Exciting Experience!
Published on Feb, 2025
Well organised and full of thrills! Exciting experience and lots of fun. Possibility of getting wet unless you sit in the middle seats. Even if you are a bit scared, this is very safe and worth stretching yourself to try.
What a buzz
Published on Feb, 2025
A great experience that was only slightly wet! My other half was either laughing or screaming throughout.
