Excellent service from the start. Arrived on the Tuesday and inquired about the Jet Boat, the girl on the desk was extremely helpful (she was Scottish so I had no doubt :) ) On the day we arrived ten minutes before and were welcomed and waited no time before we got on the boat. Any questions we had were answered well and nothing was too much trouble. Sat in the front and had the best time. Our driver was brilliant, always checking if my 7 year old was ok (which she was!!) 360's were brilliant, history and views, excellent. We did the hour and I'd recommend that as it went really quickly anyway. Keep up the good work Go Orange :)

Fantastic trip with a great guide/captain, which makes all the difference. The 25minute option was great for young kids, while still providing a bit of thrill. Hold on tight! Having done a few different jet boats in the area this was up there with one of my favourites. Highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to be the last boat of the season!
Our guide was brilliant, super knowledgeable and made the trip much more enjoyable.
The river was quite low, so the rapids weren't as challenging as we expected so we will definitely be back when the river is higher and flowing faster! Apparently spring time is best, once the snow is melting - more water equals better rapids!
Not gonna lie, the water is freezing but you're protected from the cold with all the layers of wetsuits. And you can drink the water straight out of the river!
Do the cliff jumping if you get a chance.
Lots of laughs with a great bunch of people.
