This has got to to be a must do experience for anybody, we turned up without booking and the staff juggled the list around and fitted us in. What a rush the jet boat ride was and the skippers information about the filming of the hobbit was informative, keep up the good work

We closed out our last day in Taupo with a real treat - the Rapids Jet. An awesome experience that had the kids whooping with delight. Thoroughly recommend this one, so good they should sell season tickets.

If you're wanting to take a jet boat ride in Taupo for the whole family take this one. Great value for what you get, great hospitable team running it, this service takes you up and down the Nga Awa Purua rapids whereas the Huka Jet up river doesn't go over any. So I would definitely suggest this one, wicked ride!

We feel pretty lucky to be based in such a beautiful location, and we enjoy sharing it with you all. What better way to see the Waikato River than from inside a jet boat! Thanks for a great review.
