This was a fantastic well organised jet boat ride that not only went downstream but also came back right up to the Huka Falls, very enjoyable half hour ride.

Great fun.
Really good ride, only we sat at the back of the boat and could not hear what the driver was saying. But it did not take the edge off the ride.

Paying $109 for a 30 minute jetboat ride is way too expensive I think.
Plus the costs for your pictures at the end. Yes it was amazing, but paying $109 for that??
Glad you had an amazing time. I will pass on your comments regarding the price.
