Exhilarating & Accelerating - An exhilarating experience ‘Brrrummm!’ Glad I wore a warm jacket and enjoyed getting sprayed. The waterfall was an exciting feature to see in the ride. Beautiful clean fast flowing water. Nature at its best.

A great experience for me I would do it again with pleasure with the family this time - As soon as we were settled in the jet boat the animator B put us in confidence afraid of everything that is thrills so she knew how to put us at ease. It was so great I never screamed so much 😂but a beautiful experience I would definitely do it again Thanks to this beautiful and awesome captain of the very professional jetboat B

Huka Falls Jet Boat Thrill - Did the Huka Jett trip today with family from Australia. Last time I did this trip was 25 years ago and it is still just as great. We had Tee as our skipper, very happy cheerful, smiley face. Great ride with speed and 360's, thank you Huka Jet Taupo, for keeping up the good work.

Great jet boat ride! - I've never done a jet boat ride before and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Getting up close to the Hukafalls was amazing and our boat driver, Tee, dropped interesting facts and info along the way. Overall, it was very enjoyable ride and I'd highly recommend it.
