Traveler Reviews

I wasn't to sure if I'd enjoy it but I had a blast. I felt relaxed with the experience of the driver and I really liked his sense of humor. My children had never done it before and just loved it. I'd recommend it to everyone for a family fun time.

Loved the experience! It was a long drive to the place but that was even better with our driver, Don, explaining everything about Christchurch. The driver of the jet boat was equally amazing. In short, wonderful experience, beautiful people!

It was really good and exciting and the views were so stunning but I thought a little risky with the boat so close to the rocks.

The scenery was beautiful and the trip enjoyable! We found the length of the boat trip to be sufficient despite other reviews to the contrary.
