Reviews
Seamless experience checking in, getting our life jackets, taking our photo and getting on the boat. Our guide was phenomenal, funny, great tricks and took us as close to Hukka Falls which was amazing to see so close.
It is one of the best ways to experience Huka falls up close. looks are extremely deceptive especially with this ride. the ride looks fast but it is not really scary
One of the most fun and memorable activities I did in New Zealand. Must do!
The whole process is very exciting and you can see the waterfall up close, it is well worth the ticket price!
very excited activity with perfect view to the Huka fall. they will provide a rain coat but u will still a little bit wet. there is $19 re play offer. suggestion: if u would like to explore the points nearby, u better go there with ur own car. it would save more time.
Each person has a life jacket, but there is no raincoat. Fortunately, it is not very wet. The speed boat is very fast, and the captain will make many 360-degree turns, which is very exciting. The splashing water may wet the hair. In addition, the speed boat will move Near Huka Falls, you can enjoy the shock of the waterfall up close. It is very spectacular and the overall experience is satisfactory, but the process does not take 30 minutes.
Enjoy the fun & adventure of the 360degree spins!! A must do in Taupo! Highly recommended! Our captain was skillful & friendly. Love that we got really close to the Huka Falls!
It's very exciting. The speedboat runs at high speed and flicks its tail. It's fun and a special experience. However, those who suffer from seasickness should pay special attention, as my friends traveling with me may end up feeling dizzy. The cruise will take you to see Huka Falls up close.
Incredible and most thrilling experience I've ever encountered! The jet boat driver is very skilled and does multiple 360 turns. You'll get wet if you sit at the corners but it's all worth it. If you go in winter, you'll want to layer up as it's freezing at the speed the boat is going at plus it's windy too. You also get to see the glorious waterfall up close and being inside it is just something that I never thought I'd get to experience.
You’re in for a very fun & thrilling ride! Highly recommended! The kids absolutely enjoyed the thrill of the 360 degree spins & getting up close to the Huka Falls! Enjoy the scenery & the splashing good fun!
