Rapids Jet is a must do!
Rapids Jet was awesome and I'd recommend it to all families looking for an exciting activity. Our driver Jacob was hilarious and made a real effort to connect with each passenger. Our 6yo is still raving about it!

So much fun!
Well worth it! Super fun, fast and exciting. Shannon was a great driver and engaging with his info on the river and area. Got pretty chilly out there with the fast wind in your face and the occasional splashes, so dress warm in the cooler months.

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.
