Reviews: Cambridge Waikato New Zealand: Tour -45 Min Extreme Jet Boat

Fantastic ride on the longest river in NZ. Plenty of 360 spins, rapid runs, swerves and close calls! Driver Aaron was experienced and informative. Cracked a few dad jokes along the way. The gorge was beautiful, we saw fish, waterfalls and the misty morning in June was fresh. Not as high octane as Shotover- a different experience altogether, but many more swerves and 360’s made it worth the money.

It's Cheeky Wiki, a well-known local travel agency. Our group wasn't large this time, and the driver-guide arranged for self-introductions and a Q&A session, like a teacher leading students. It was my first time in New Zealand, and I saw wormholes, geothermal activity, and kiwis for the first time. It was definitely worthwhile to experience it all in one day. Although the driving time was a bit long, there were frequent short breaks, and the time management was reasonable, so it didn't feel too tiring.

We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed it with the whole family. The boat driver was very cheerful and friendly. The explanations were very comprehensive and included jokes. The spinning the boat around in the water was something we really loved.
