최고
엄청 재미있고 시간도 짧다고 생각하진 않네요. 다른 젯보트에 비해서 급류를 타게되고 영화 촬영장소도 잠깐 들릅니다. 가장자리에 앉았는데 미스트 수준이 아니고 세안하고 상하반신 샤워하는 수준으로 젖습니다. 맨 앞자리도 재미있습니다.

Excellent Experience and Value
First time on the Rapids Jet last weekend and what a great experience. Friendly and helpful staff and a very humorous driver! The trip was informative and a lot of fun. A jet boat ride in NZ is a must (big thumping V8 engines). I would also say this is a lot of activity and experience for the price. Value all round!

후카폴 제트보트아님
어떤 블로거에 낚여서 갔는데 내가 원하던 제트보트가 아니였다. 전날 잘못 예약한걸 알았지만 취소 힘들어 그냥 탔는데 너무 심할정도로 왔던 곳을 몇번이나 왔다갔다 지겨운 느낌이 드는건 처음임.시긴이 없어서 제일 비싼 딜로 예약해서 더 아쉬움. 제트보트 코스를 억지로 만든느낌. 퀸스타운 샷오버제트와 비교됨. 직원은 친절했다.
