Our second trip with Jet Adventures didn't disappoint! - Following on from our Scroby Sands trip last year, this year we headed south to Pakefield. Once again we were treated to wearing the fabulous orange waterproofs (a must to wear because you do get very wet). We also paid a visit to the Kittiwake hotels off shore, which was great to see close up! An amazing 45mins to celebrate a family birthday! Thank you again to John and Jas for making the day another memorable one!!

Amazing and exhilarating day out - We were met by the very enthusiastic Jet Adventures team who greeted us like long lost family members. They were very knowledgeable on our intened route and put my mind at ease with a very thorough safety talk. On the trip we were checked on regularly and all questions were answered. We had a fantastic time and will definitely do it again in warmer weather.

Exhilarating experience! - The sea was quite rough so we didn't get as far as seeing the seals! So we were treated to going along the coast. It was a really good experience of big waves and lots of sea spray!
We were well cared for and felt safe.
We were offered a part refund or another trip as we didn't see the seals.

Awesome boat trip! - This was fabulous. Friends visited us on holiday and we wanted to do something different as we have teenagers. Mark and John were fantastic. Absolutely buzzing during and afterwards. We got drenched, but is so part of this adventure, we got some excellent footage. Will definitely book the longer seal trip next summer and we all can’t wait.

Awesome Ride - This was a real fun thing to do.
John and Co were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful coastline.
Be warned, you will get very wet.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great boat trip - book it! - Great trip. Adrenalin rush as the boat bounces on the waves and the splash back is exhilarating and really fun. We were a party of two, 53 yo and a 13 yo, but were with people in their late 60s who had just as much fun.
Great to have the history of the coastline and information about the local environmental measures in place. This really enriched it.
My only wish is that it was longer. 45 minutes flew by too fast.

Excellent high speed boat trip along the coast...loads of fun and spray and kittiwake hotels too - This was my first trip out with Jet Adventures and it certainly won't be my last. After a short safety briefing and fitting of lifejackets, we headed down to the purpose designed boat on the South Pier in Lowestoft to experience a 45-minute high speed coastal sightseeing trip.
Today we headed south passing the Lowestoft South Beach with excellent views of the Claremont Pier, down to Kessingland and a little beyond, so were level with the cliffs and beach at Benacre / Covehithe. We then did a few high speed turns in the water to keep everyone entertained and a little damp, and then headed back north towards the harbour. On today's run we also headed out to sea, and to see up close the new Kittiwake hotels that had been installed this summer to encourage nesting of these rare seabirds next season.
After circumnavigating one of the hotels to get views and photos we then headed back to the harbour, timed perfectly to see the bascule bridge go up, but viewed from the harbour. We also saw one of the unmanned survey boats being driven by remote control from an adjacent vessel, before heading back to the pier.
There was plenty of salty spray from the waves at sea, given the winds were moderate with the occasional stronger gust, and the driver of the boat deliberately gave us some high speed turns and sudden stops as some of the people on board wanted to have a 'wet knuckle' experience. There was some great spots of 'airtime' along the coast too, but despite the swell the boat handled it brilliantly with a slightly bumpy but otherwise super stable ride experience.
As stated this won't be my last trip with Jet Adventures...I am already booked for a seal watching trip to Scroby Sands in a few weeks, and I can't wait. Great value and fun experience and always a pleasure to support a local family-run business.
Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike, you just need to book in advance.
