Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Trilling adventure! 2-Parts!!

    1/Time Tripper- digital simulated time travel through millions of years, creative story of Maori legend and the Wakatipu Lake (friendly and welcoming service of Sofia and Sam, thanks!)

    2/KJet - Huge Jet powered boat that shoots you across the famous Wakatipu Lake and Shot Over River with twists, turns, and spins. View fantastic landscapes and architecture while enjoying fast paced thrills! Thanks Craig, the experienced, safe, and knowledgeable jet boat driver.

    They were super amazing friendly staff. They made sure everyone had a good time and did the best they could in a drought situation. Well done and an awesome time! With photos to prove it!

    Instructor is knowledgeable and well organized, Jetski's are good quality and fast. You get to take your own ski out with a wide area to test the speed. Great fun. Definitely be back.
