So much fun and a great way to see the power of Huka Falls up close. - So much fun. You may get a little wet from the spray but it just adds another element to such great fun. Thrilling and exciting but felt safe as the driver had great skills and experience.

Can't see the falls without it. Do it in the rain! - Great excursion. Don't ever let the weather stop you from doing this one. We went in the rain and it was fantastic. Made getting wet from the turns and spins all that much better. Got amazing views of the falls, from Very close. This is the best way to see the falls and explore the river

Speed, Water and just plain old FUN! - This adventure is a great adrenaline rush from start to finish with high speed thrills along the Waikato river. Brilliantly driven who loved spinning the boat 360 degrees and soaking us in the process. The falls themselves were awesome. My wife and I are in our 60s, so this is truly an adventure for all ages.

Fun activity - A really fun experience, made more enjoyable by our tour guide Scott. We did get wet but not ridiculously so. If you get travel sickness, you may want to rethink this one as there are lots of 360° turns.

Keep on spinning - The jet boat driver made the ride so fun. Spun around multiple times in water even before hitting the falls. We laughed so hard. Got totally soaked but it was worth it
