Really nice- must do

We took our 4 year old on a jet boat with Kjet and had a wonderful experience. Under 5s don't pay. The driver was experienced, staff was do lovely. We got into the underwater observatory for free after, as part of the deal. Thank you

Marisa D

Is it best to book this in advance or can I do that when I get there? If so, is a day or two in advance good enough or do they sell out quickly?

Hi Marisa, thanks for getting in touch with us. You can book a day or two in advance, certain trips do book out on the day during our busy periods. We look forward to seeing you soon!
