Reviews of Hukafalls Jet Taupo

M. T.

Loved this experience. Kids were well looked after and scenery is amazing. You get super close to the falls. You get wet but not enough to need a full change. Bring a towel though. Jandals are OK. Sunglasses are good but hats would fly off. I took my mobile and got some great shots. Recommend. Thanks Chopper!

I. S.

Got the ride as a Christmas present. Best gift ever. 30 minutes of jet boating between the Aratiatia dam and Huka falls. Awesome to see the falls from the lower level. The jet boat driver was cool, knew his stuff and excelled at scaring the teenage girls sitting behind me if their screams were anything to go by.... Will definitely go again.

J. B.

Alice was our driver and she sure provided a thrilling jet boat trip to the Huka falls. Very friendly and regularly checking in with us all to make sure we were happy. A spur of the moment decision to do this trip and we're so pleased we did.

A.

Wow wow wow Great experience, love spinning, staff very great and helpful. My little boy enjoyed it and will come to book again Thanks team

B.

Amazing view. Great experience. And definitely in the bucket list to do in Taupo

H.

Excellent quality attraction for the family. Sightseeing and thrills. Most fun we've had in ages. Very pleasant staff and a professional operation. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and this was worth every cent.

M.

Definitely got a tad wet, but soooo much fun. Awesome scenery loads of fun, would definitely recommend.

J.

It was so much fun! The driver made us feel safe, was informative and funny. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely be back.

D.

A high adrenaline experience on the pristine Waikato River. The jet boat goes down to the Aratiatia Dam then travels back up the river last the Geothermal Power Plant and up to the Huka Falls Gorge. A fun family experience. It isn't cheap but it's a good memory maker for a birthday or special occasion. Dress warm and be prepared to get a bit wet.

T.

Absolutely loved this experience. Wouldn't recommend sitting at the front - the guide was right, it is an ejecto seat. But would definitely do it again. Staff were lovely and the experience was so fun.

n.

10/10 staff friendly funny. The boat its self is awesome the speed and all the 360s you do are just fun. Now going to the Hukafalls at the bottom is worth the price by itself just seeing it at that angle is amazing.

E.

Sunday 2nd Jan 2022- my group went 11.30am (completely forgot the guy who took us out name) but he was super friendly , entertaining, great at his job , felt safe with him while also having a really thrilling time! Super cool guy and experience

R. J.

Definitely recommend doing this if you like going fast and learning bits and pieces of your surroundings. Just hold on tight and have fun.

J. G.

Great fun, worth it all the way. Jimmy our pilot was a legend. Best way of seeing the river and experiencing the falls.

A.

Went on the ride today with kids. Beautiful morning and very friendly and polite driver. She stopped at various points to explain significance of that place, be it the power station or the falls itself. For anyone considering this and a bit scared of the ride. I'd say its looks more scary than it is. I am really scared of water, but I absolutely enjoyed the ride. The Driver is professional and considerate. I would have given it 5 stars, had their video cameras been clean, price is a bit on the high side, but OK to do it once. Do in on a nice day, we had to wait three days to find the perfect morning.

A.

Heaps of fun, got a little wet but nothing to cry about (Only an idiot would expect to stay dry) team was brilliant and the little tid-bits of info were good. Lead us to the Aratiatia dam opening the next day

B.

Well worth the money paid. Was raining hard so our booking got pushed back- no problem with the staff who were all so nice and accommodating. All the safety gear was there and was the heated hand rail 😂 which was actually really nice. Heaps of spins, close runs, ins and outs, great view of Huka Falls and generally great fun. Loved it as did the younger kids

G. B.

What a fantastic experience! Friendly, helpful staff with a sense of humour. My daughter and I loved every minute of this ride. It seemed to last a lot longer than 30 minutes and was great value for money. We had so much fun. Our driver "Chopper", was awesome! Bring a towel lol.

S. D.

Such a cool fun experience with the family for my daughters birthday. Staff were awesome and the ride was just awesome. Thanks Chopper for this thrills and getting us soaked up close to the falls. As a local can’t recommend this enough for everyone to try.

P.

We were four of us and visited from Auckland.We got nice boat with jet driver Alice . She explained everything very well and indicated us before flips and spins . She is very friendly . Five stars for her and worth it for our journey..

C.

Awesome thrill ride. Highly recommend this as a must do!

D.

Awesome and was so different than what I thought 100% Awesome

M.

Took my work team away for a weekend getaway and had this for a Sunday morning wake up! Huka Jet really looked after us all and made us all feel welcome and made sure we all had a great time. Scott our driver was just like one of our team and made us all comfortable. Was really cool to see the falls from the bottom rather than the top.

A.

That was my first experience with the kids. Really enjoyed a lot . The adventure of the Huka Falls Jet was really amazing and the ride was about for 30 minutes. The most interesting part of the ride was that when we were approaching the main point of the falls where the water was coming with its full pressure. We have had many spins and rolls while on the Jet boat. The driver also guided many things during the journey. We had also got a chance to view the first thermal power station along side of the Huka Falls. I would recommend this for everyone even quite enjoyable for the kids as well. There was no fear and whole journey became enjoyable and memorable.

E. M.

We had a fantastic time! Well worth it. If you like going fast and 360 degree spins you'll love it. Brenden, our driver, was entertaining. He took us right up to the falls as well!

S.

Went for a ride on the jet boat yesterday with Scott as our driver!! Had the bestest time!!! Have been to Taupo so many times and each time said I wanted to ride the jetboat!!! Finally did it.. and not disappointed Will be doing it again Thanks Scott and team

M. A.

What an exhilarating experience. There was never a dull moment only eye bulging, eye popping, wondering if we were going to hit something thoughts, excitement, fun and lots of 360's, they were fun. The guide/driver was very friendly, informative and funny. Thank you to the awesome team @Hukafalls Jet Taupo for your friendly services and smiles. Keep up the excellent work. This is most definitely a MUST to do, you'll love it.

V. B.

Oh My God! This jet boat was the most exhilarated thing me and my husband did in our trip to New Zealand! The highlight of our holiday! Do not miss it, I promise you that you won't regret it! Was a bit apprehensive about it as I am not a very courageous woman and it seemed dangerous but boy was I wrong! And the most important thing is that I felt safe at all times as the driver was absolutely amazing! He even managed to avoid all the ducks in our way 😂 The 360 degrees spins and turns were amazing! Was screaming in delight all the time and I am not a screamer 😜 and he got us soooo close to the actual fall...amazing driver, kudos to him...word of advice though - wear a beanie as my ears were frozen...they give you protection for your clothes and a safety vest but the ears are exposed to the wind even if it's hot weather... Uhmmm...did I mention how much I love it????

C.

Extremely fun, though I was disappointed that the driver wasn't more cautious of the wildlife 😔 I was led to believe they would slow down if wildlife were in danger, but the boat certainly hit some 😭 Surely there are more precautions that could be taken!

J. J.

I ordered ticket online without any problems 11 days before. Place was easy to find and there was plenty parking spaces. Rain coats are provided in order not to get wet and I really appreciated since I visited them during winter months. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Captain of boat gave us some information about area and especially told us about signals which he will use during ride especially 360 turn signal when boat turn 360 degrees in high speed. Cameras are allow but must be securely attached to body to avoid losing them. Handheld mobiles or cameras are not allowed. We got really close to Huka Falls and it was incredible experience. There is also possibility to buy photos and videos made by on board camera either as dvd or usb stick after ride. I bought it because photos and videos were taken from different angels than mine. I highly recommend to experience Huka Falls with Huka falls Jet

H. B.

This is a must do experience in Taupō! Our driver Jimmy was an expert behind the wheel and went out of his way to drift around almost every obstacle on the river, took us close to the falls (the best way to see them) and did many 360° turns. Loved it!

A. A.

Loved it.. stunning vista and the Falls were amazing ! Our driver was awesome. many thrills and 360s! Totally buzzing at the end!

G. K.

Once in New Zealand everyone has to ride these kind of jetboats. An ABSOLUTELY MUST DO. We had a fantastic time! Totally worth it. Superfast with lots of 360 degrees spins. Just get a rainjacket because you get really wet.

G.

Had really fun on the boat. The tour is about 30 ish minutes with bunch of fast 360 turns. Definitely will do it again.

R.

Brilliant experience, the team are knowledgeable and friendly, the ride is a blast and the views of the Huka falls are something you won't see anywhere else

D.

Awesome experience. Kids loved it, hubby got soaked. Good fun all round!

L.

Loved it. Staff were excellent. Pricing was better using a family pass. Highly recommended.

D.

Great experience for kids & adults alike. Thought as tourist activities pricing went, it was value for money.

P.

Hukafalls Jet was an exhilirating experince and our driver Elliot was Awesome. Will definitely do it again.

C.

Wow! This looks like fun! We were up by the falls, and watched the Jetboat effortlessly wizz around, giving the occupants a thrilling ride! Worth going to the falls first to see the power, then go for it!

C.

Had a ball here with my girls We all enjoyed it Do it you will too Let’s go get it

g.

Though i have not tried the jet but as i watch,kinda exciting gonna try it next visit.

Great experience, a must do when in Taupo. I forget the drivers name but he was awesome!

Yep, it is everything it says. Fun, exhilarating, interesting and the staff and our driver, Alice were so cool. Thank you.

r. k.

Woohoo, just an EXHILARATING experience, Chopper you the man. Also was lucky enough to have Chopper in our photo shoot.

M.

My family 👪 went on with a 5 yr old a 9 yr old and they loved it it was their highlight of our whole family trip

M.

Exciting jet boat ride with many 360 turns. Got us very close to Huka Falls and dam. Not as crazy as jetskis but a notch below. A tad expensive at over $100 each, but worth it for us. Might add for those concerned, very safe.

S. P.

Damm what a ride. My boy was like dad we must go. At first I was like na too expensive but man I was wrong. The ride goes for 30min and the whole ride is thrilling. Then if you want to do it again it only cost 19 bucks if you do the ride again straight away.

H. N.

So. Much. Fun!!! Had a blast zooming around on the jet boat and getting to see the falls up close was awesome. Our guide was great too.

K.

It was really great. We had so much fun. Wat a great day.

M.

Great day out, staff were amazing, good value jet ride.

K.

It was raining when we went and we had to wait until it calmed down a bit before we got do to our ride. Our boat driver, Steve, was fun and cool. He was kind enough to ask us if we want to do more turns which we gladly said yes to. It was a great experience overall.

A.

Fantastic experience. Awesome people. Thank you so much. Can't wait to come back and do it all over again.

D.

J.

So much fun, I was able to close to the Falls, what an experience

C.

Fantastic Time. The guy that drove our boat You're awesome I b back for sure

C.

Great ride. The Falls are stunning. I have to say that I have been on many jet boat rides in the past and not had an issue but after this ride I did feel rather seedy for about 6 hrs afterwards. I lost count of the the number of 360s we did - perhaps 2 or 3 less would have been better. Thanks

P.

Great experience and fantastic staff who try to make it memorable.

M.

It was great fun and the staff were very knowledgeable. The ride was 24 minutes and not the advertised 30 minites. Still very worth it and a big thrill ride.

S. B.

Absolutely worth it .. must plan full day trip starts from 9am

S.

Wow very well experience. Good fun

T.

Did this activity with my family. Definitely our favourite activity in Taupo! The kids loved the high speed turns on the water and getting up close to Huka Falls. Lots of laughs and screams on the ride. The driver was very entertaining too! The only downfall was some of the pictures for our group didn't come through so we had to take some family shots again after the activity was done. Overall - this is one awesome activity we'll never forget!

B.

Great ride. A must do. Really exciting.

T.

So much fun!!!! Liam has the skills to pay the bills with his drifting talents! I nearly had like 10 heart attacks! Haha so exciting!! Thanks so much guyz!

D.

Our driver Steve was awesome. Had a great time thank you guys.

C.

Awesome adventure. Definitely recommend and the closest you can get to the Huka falls (safely). As the flow was on the low side our skipper took us right into the waterfall spray. Take a towel :) Our pilot was hard case and really made it a fun experience.

L.

Funny thing was we wanted to go to the prawn park but it was shut on the one day we were able to go there. Oh well.

N.

Beautiful falls, very well maintained enclosure for excellent views, must visit place

These guys are very professional and friendly. I've been on lots of het boats but this trip was by far the best. I took my grandsons aged 7 an 5 with me and by the end they were wanting to go again. Best day of my life so far said one of them. Liam our driver was awesome as were the rest of the crew. DO THIS!!

D.

Awesome experience! Great ride to Huka falls and Aratiatia Dam. Thought we were going hit the river sides and obstacles in the water but the driver knew every turn. Several 360's. Great fun.

T.

Loved every second. Beautiful, thrilling and great fun.

R.

Fantastic experience, the family loved it!

J.

Great fun and excellent tour

L. M.

Great condition life vests for kids and adults. The team were great explaining safety and signal before any spins so you can prepare/brace. Fabulous experience. Highlight for our family, especially our 4 year old. Alex the driver was confident explaining the environment and engaging with our son.

S.

The ride was a super thrill. Our driver Elliot was very friendly and we had lots of 360 degree spins. The look of the Huka falls at such a close point was stunning. Although it is bit expensive, it is worth the money spent..

S.

What a great thrilling adventure. Wow so amazing Hukafalls Jet👌👍 Went with my family for the first time & it was awesome 👍 All the team at Jet boat, they were so friendly and kind. The person who drove us, he was Super good 👍 he made us laugh & he was so joyful person. Definitely we will come back again & I will recommend to my family and friends. Just one suggestion, please can u take only one family with Jet boat and not with other people. We want photos only us in a Jet boat, the photos we have now. We can't share it, because there were other people on a Jet boat. Thank you.

A.

Amazing experience. 2nd only to Milford Sound and racing with dolphins. A must do for all tourists

E.

Second time we have done this, highly recommend. Fun for adults and kids alike, we took our 5yo and 7yo, they loved it, the 360 spins, the Huka Falls. Jet driver very knowledgeable, provided lots of facts about the area and mixed in some humor, very friendly, great business to advertise New Zealand. Highly recommend

M.

Enjoyable experience, make booking in advance

J.

Great ride with my 6 year-old today !!! We had a blast. Lots of exhilarating fun on our tupuna awa. Thanks to our driver Elliott

S.

Great experience for my grandchildren they loved it

H.

Had a great time on the Hukafalls Jet! Jimmy was a great guide and was definitely experienced with driving the boat. He made it a great experience. Everyone working was happy and seemed to enjoy their jobs. A must-do experience in Taupo!

H.

MUST TRY IT! extremely fun and all staffs are friendly. They provided shuttle service from/to city centre. We asked to be dropped off at the falls so can walk thru bushwalk down to the town. It was great and easy walk. Highly recommended!

J.

Best experience on the Waikato river. Thank you to all frontline staff and photographer for your top rate service and especially driver Steve for his professional skills and background knowledge😎

T.

Amazing experience first time on a jet boat the 360 spins were thrilling. The ride feels extremely safe lasted approximately 30 minutes in the boat. Would high reccomend for anyone who likes a adrenaline rush.

J.

Definitely a must do! Was an amazing experience

R.

Awesome experience all around! The kids enjoyed it just as much as the adults. This needs to be on your bucket list as a must do event

R.

This thrilling and adrenaline pumping experience deserves a place amongst everyone’s mandatory “Bucket List”.. If you would like to go careening on the Waikato River at ridiculous speeds, swerving around the ducks, foliage, under bridges doing 360 spins then you don’t want to miss this adventure at all... the only activity that allows you to get up close to the Huka Falls for some awesome selfie’s... Can it get any better than this? Of course because the staff were amazing to deal with and catered to our family holiday superbly. Steve who is the ultimate guru of the jet boats is just as crazy fun as the ride is and we had tonnes of fun 😎😎

s.

Video(Go Pro) not working to cover the Jet boat ride. We paid in advance for the hukka falls jet along with photo and video package. Before the start of the trip I enquired in reception and they confirmed video is present and come back to reception after the trip. But during the middle of the trip, the driver said video(Go Pro) is not working. Though I got the partial refund for video package, I have specifically asked the staff at reception wether I will get any additional discount if I book one more trip since I was very much excited to have the video of the boat ride. The staff straight away said it's impossible to have any discounts or consideration for me even after acknowledging it's their problem that video didn't work. I was expecting a little bit more consideration from them for such a heavy price(nearly paid 370 dollars for three persons). I am disappointed because we expected video for the boat ride and we booked the whole package well in advance. Also the copied photos into the USB is for another group and I had to verify it twice and come back for getting it corrected!. Tips : 1. Check if video/ GoPro is working in the boat before the start of the trip. Double check, and triple check with the driver before the boat starts because once the trip starts your money is gone even if video doesn't work. When enquired at reception the staff said the video was not working for a variety of problems(such as server problem etc.) previously as well to other customers and they recently fixed it. Check before the trip starts and avoid the disappointment. 2. If you copy your digital photo in usb, confirm it immediately by rechecking by copying it to laptop because I had an experience of getting the photos of another boat trip rather than ours. Luckily I checked the usb photos immediately from the car before leaving the place. If video is important for you, double check in advance or look out for another jet boat service as they refuse to entertain any additional discount for a second trip.

N.

Worth every cent. A lot of fun and you get real close to the waterfall.

D.

Was a fabulous boat trip right up to the falls, with a few thrills n turns along the way

s.

Very very Fun boat ride the stand where very fun and nice the boat ride was amazing and awesome experience I am going to be going there again 100% the I would of given it a 5 star if it was a bit cheaper to pay for it

V.

Loved it, the staff are very friendly. Definitely a must do, if you haven't done it before. One of the best things to do at Taupo for sure.

C.

Awesome.

D.

It was a really good experience and it was my first jet boat ride

T.

Awesome experience. Top job Scotty.

D.

Amazing fun. Best adventure to be had in Taupo.

A.

The best one in things to do in Taupo.

F.

Fantastic ride as usual! Great deal for $99 ! Everyone go do this now and support our locals who are giving us a great deal.

R.

Wow what a place with a beautiful water fall, it looks spectacular and the walk along with the fall makes it more beautiful. Must visit this place if you go Taupo. Recommended to go on a sunny day.

J.

Incredible! Great experience and was amazing to see the falls so close uo

k.

Great experience. Brendan was fab, really funny and knowledgeable about the falls. Although he did lie and say I wouldn't get that wet..... It all added to the experience though. Good fun!

A.

We have been to different jets around NZ and this one was the best. They did so many 360 spins, we lost count! We get so close to Huka Falls which is just awesome. I would do it again!

D.

Friendly driver. You get the option to purchase pictures and video of the ride. Safety instructions are made clear. We did get pretty wet, but I won't tell you which seat we were in.

k.

Really is something to experience! Don't forget to bring your camera to take a picture of the waterfall form the BEST angle! The people were nice but the only downside is the price.

A.

The staff were top-notch! The driver is very skillful. The ride was breathtaking! Be prepared to get wet and have fun!

A.

Superb! Top fun, great driver and awesome fun. Do it don't think about it. Also you will see Hukafalls from really short distance. Staff really friendly, professional with a good sense of humour.

C.

Very nice place, has all the facilities required. Staff are nice enough and served me well. I especially enjoyed the flirty female working when i came in. I enjoyed the place thoroughly and the services provided. Im unsure however weather i would come here i was suffering from any variation of hepatitis the vibe of the place also felt specially threatening to hepatitis A. Im unsure weather they would allow you to bring in an animal however big it may be. I would like to emphasize that i strongly feel hep A is not welcomed here.

L.

Great selection of honey from various places throughout NZ, good tastings available

M.

My favourite place really enjoyed it

A.

Great fun! Make sure to sit up front or at least avoid sitting behind someone taller if you'd like to purchase the video. Sides of the boat get wet, so if your concerned about staying dry sit in the middle.

B.

Awesome place...must visit

R.

Exhilarating! This was a great way to finish our time at Taupo. It's not for faint hearted and be ready to get wet. Highly recommended.

S.

If I'm ever coming back to Taupo, I'll be going straight to the jet boats. This was my first jet boat experience and wow!! The spins were simply awesome. I had to find my land legs when I got off! HIGHLY recommended for everyone.

A.

Amazing. The driver was awesome, had a great time, or youngest (6) loved it. So much fun, great value, everyone had a blast

D.

Definitely a must do. Made even more so by our driver Steve, ( I know you can't choose the driver but. . . .) Gave banter as good as he took. 😀

P.

Awesome experience is definitely a must do when in the area staff were amazing.

T.

Very fun with the 360°s turn

N.

couldn't fault it was a nice wee low level adrenaline boost.🚤

H.

Love this activity!!! Friendly staff .

L.

So much fun, a must do in Taupo !! Places where you get the most wet : Front right and Back left, so choose one of them to have the ultimate Jet Boat Feeling. Thumbs up!

M.

This is a must do experience, however... Its getting four stars from me vs five as I booked an instant replay for me and my daughter and their booking system couldn't cope. Result, they would honour the second trip but not for another two hours*. Not really what I had in mind when it was booked... TIP! Make sure you specify that your booking includes the replay if like me you suspect ya kids will say "Again! Again! Again!". *Refund provided no issue.

J.

If you're coming to Taupo then you simply have to do the Hukafalls Jet. It's exhilarating and top fun! We had the a lovely skipper called Sarah who threw us around the river but also stopped regularly to give us insight and info on the falls and the surrounding area. Would 100% do it again. We all left with big smiles! Excellent.

G.

What a great experience. Gotta do it NZ!

J.

Thrilling ride with safe, professional, and highly skilled drivers. Family friendly and exciting for everyone - this was an amazing way to experience the falls.

A.

Loved it . The boat ride was thrilling and all the 360 degree turns were breathtaking. The drivers are skilful and it is very safe if you hold on tight with both hands . The veiw of huka falls from the boat is something else .

N.

Just did the Hulka falls Jet, was the highlight of my trip to New Zealand so far and incredibly fun. Alex the driver was a legend and very knowledgeable about all the sights on the river. And he threw us around like crazy. Was wicked! If Alex is driving be prepared to get wet haha! Cheers mate!

A.

Highly recommend this experience - it only takes about a half hour and it's quite a thrill. You get very close to the base of Huka Falls. They will give you ponchos and glasses. Don't wear a hat or you'll be trying to hold it to your head the whole time.

A.

I wasn't prepared for how much fun this was going to be!! The drivers are bordering crazy with how close they get to obstacles (but you always feel safe and in control) and the 360 spins are epic! Couldn't beleive how beautiful the Waikato river is with it amazing bush, crystal clear water and the awesome Huka Falls - highly recommended. What an epic afternoon thanks team!

B.

Awesome experience, took the kids and the 5 year old was a touch scared at times, but the 7 year old loved it, as did both adults

K.

Checking in for activity was a breeze since we pre booked online. We were taken to the jet boat promptly and engaged in the approximately 20min thrilled jet ride!quite a few 360 degree fast turning and be prepared to be wet despite the wetcoat provided.at the extreme end of the river was a very pretty fall whereby we could take a photo to commemorate this experience.definitely recommended for all!

S.

Drivers are awesome, funny, and knowledgeable... just remember to hold on! Great opportunity to get one to the falls and take pictures.

B.

Worth every cent. Our driver Chopper was also awesome and very friendly.

A.

Have been here several times. This is fun. Better to make advance booking as they are quite busy during season

M.

Great fun. Probably a little more expensive than I expexteded. I thought the photo package was way over priced. Paid extra for a video only to discover it was less than 3 minutes long.

J.

Had a great time. Really got the blood pumping. Staff were friendly. Merch was reasonably cheap. Our driver (I think his name was Liam) got us really close to the falls and answered all our questions. I learned a lot about the boat and also learned of a few local attractions that aren't so well known.

K.

Fantastic experience, enjoyed by all of our party of 6. Liam was a great host and we all particularly enjoyed the 360's!!!

P.

M.

Must do. Pleaseee do not miss this one at any cost if you visit taupo. This was my first adventure of taupo. Won't ever forget. Thunderous.

C.

I enjoyed this but expected a more thrilling ride i wanted more spins and hair raising moments definetly overpriced tourist attraction our boat broke down and had to get out and into another one the guide was lovely and helpful think i will try the rapid jets next time as it could b more thrilling

S.

Excellent! Great thrills and a unique vantage to view the falls.

O.

It's fun even though you can finish it being a little dizzy. You can get a lot of adrenaline. The best part is to see the falls so near.

K.

Absolutely loved it and our driver Scott was awesome will definitely be back 🤙

T.

Absolutely awesome an absolute must do if in taupo . Awesome drivers too. Highly recommend

H.

Wow what an experience, we had a blast.!!! Huka Jet was so much fun, I certainly recommend.

L.

We did the first trip of the day two weeks ago. Our Jet Pilot was Jeremy. What a brilliant time we had. Jeremy started with a Maori "prayer" which made it all the more special. What a lovely way to start the day! The jet boat ride was thrilling and brilliant and the commentary by Jeremy was very entertaining...we are still laughing. Loved it and would recommend it to everyone. Thanks Jeremy

B.

Absolutely fantastic experience, driver was really good and had a wealth of knowledge, did this as part of 4play,on 2nd January, what an experience to end our holiday on👍

A.

This is better than the shot over jet Queenstown. This is something amazing , there is an option to going again for additional 18 dollars and I indeed went again for three times. Its worth it.

R.

Clear water and nice scenic view It's a beautiful place to go

T.

Exhilarating ride. The whole family loved it. We got wet and wind blown but it was so worth it. Very memorable.

L.

Highly recommend. It’s worth every penny.

You can’t believe how so much can be packed into a 30-minute ride. An incredible experience and highly recommended.

It was fun and wet, but I don't know that we would go again - the scenery wasn't really that much better than what we could have seen from the overlook.

C.

Had a great trip with Elliot! Very entertaining and a definite must do when in Taupo.

R.

Hands down the best adventure activity in Taupō! If you are a Taupō local they have a locals day every now and then which is nice cheap, keep your eyes peeled for that

J.

So glad I booked this in as it was the best experience and not too scary! Such a thrilling ride and really cool to do!

D.

Great fun, unbelievable how well they can drive those boats, missing cliffs & trees by mm. We were really impressed with the video & photos too.

S.

We arrived after lunch so had to make do with the gardener steering us at rock faces, trees and ducklings. I suffer from mild depression so was ready for anything - except his jokes. I can not recommend Hukafalls Jet highly enough. Jeremy, thank you for sparing us all. And Go the Maroons. A Filthy (wet & smiling) Cane Toad.
