You’ll marvel at the incredible water-level views of the spectacular Huka Falls as you slide past cliffs and trees at an incredible 80km an hour in one of the state of the art jet boats. Then get ready for their trademark 360 degree spin as the boat turns on its own length, leaving you with a beaming smile and a heart pumping with adrenaline.
All passengers must be at least 1 metre (39 inches) tall to ride the boat. If for any reason, medical or otherwise, you are unable to get into and out of the jet boat without assistance, you are required to have two support people who are able to get you in and out and they must also be booked on your trip. If you have any specific medical conditions including breaks and fractures, or if you suffer from back or neck problems, please advise us at the time of booking so they can assess and advise your suitability to travel. If you are pregnant they do not recommend that you ride on the jet boat.
