Such a fun experience - A really fun experience - we felt very well looked after by Matthew (ages ranged from us mid/late 60s to little ones) and he made the experience great for all of us. Some exciting 360 degrees spins and exhilaratingly fast. A little bumpy on my old back but would not have missed this exoerience. Highly recommended. 😊

Queenstown from a different perspective - Flexibility was very good allowing us to delay our ride by a day. While a great way to see Queenstown from a different perspective, it wasn’t the adrenaline adventure we expected. Having said that the guide was great.

My experience on jet boat - The thrill of slicing through water at high speed made jet boat ride an unforgettable adrenaline rush. Each twist and turn on the roaring river offered a heart-pounding experience.

Empathy goes a long way - We were touring the South Island in a motorhome with our two boys. On our way to our booking we had motorhome issues and caught in an area with no phone service, so were unable to contact the company to let them know where we were. Once we were able to contact the company it was after our booking time, there was zero empathy from the company for our situation, they kept our money and when asked if they could possibly accommodate us at a later time, they refused however offered us 20% discount to rebook for the next time slot. I found the staff I spoke with to be very unemphatic and condescending. My suggestion as a business owner myself in Australia once receiving this feedback they reflect on their customer service and the fact that they are dealing with visitors from various countries. At times things for those visitors will have things go wrong and a little empathy for those situations would go a long way. Furthermore, what I would like to say is, every other business we dealt with in NZ were absolutely fabulous!
