- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

The thrill of the big jet engines powering up on the lake is awesome. The 360 spins were fun and not at all scary. The staff are friendly and professional.

- Sam MSanta Clarita, CA21 contributionsWe booked a 9 day tour in New Zealand for our 25th Anniversary. We had a wonderful time. We were the only 2 on the tour. Prior to the trip Jessa took care of all the arrangements and made sure everything was ready for our trip. While in New Zealand Cindy made sure all our next day tours and lodging was sent to us as a reminder. She was very helpful and even arranged a tour of Tiritiri Island. I can not thank Jessa, Cindy, and CharlieTheTraveller for making our 25th anniversary memorable. it was nice to have everything arranged for us in advance and to have great customer service that made us feel taken care of the whole trip. All the excursions were fantastic and the transportation was great. I would Highly recommend CharlieTheTraveller. We will use them on our next big trip.Written 15 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mark DDubbo, Australia64 contributionsPicked this as part of a conference event while we where in Queenstown. Staff are amazing and the adrenaline from both the jet sprint boats and the mad max looking all wheel drives was one of the best things I’ve done.Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David HAuckland, New Zealand33 contributionsNothing can prepare you for what you are about to feel and experience.
Devastatingly fast from 0 to 100km in 2 seconds followed by extremely rapid turns that tries to pull your face off.
Absolutely no time to catch your breath during a lap (there is between laps).
Our 1st lap was at 70% power - the rest were at 100% - WOW.

Thank you for giving us such a great time- everyone shot clays and had a blast on the boat and vehicle - definitely worth the money.
