My husband and I decided to take a ride on these big jet boats. It was fantastic, there was over 20 people on board . They said they had 2 engines with big v8's. What power. The trip was fast and very exciting .The driver what a scream, but we did learn some history as well. The spins finished it off. Such great value for 30 minutes. I would recommend this to any one

We spent 2 weeks touring the north island and loved the jet boats so much, we called in at Rotorua again on our way back home. So we did it twice!! The driver (Ross) was very knowledgeable about the region and the maori heritage of the area. We got some splashes and heaps of spins - we both just loved it! Thanks Kawarau Jet for a great end to our holiday! We have told everyone about the jet boats, I'm sure they're sick of hearing about it! We recommend this trip to everyone!

This was a fantastic experience - I've never had so much fun on the water in all my life. The crew were really friendly and although it was a bit "scary" it never once felt unsafe. A real adrenalin rush. Thanks Kawarau Jets - you were fantastic !!
