Hello Tracey, thank you for a great review. Our Maddie is the best jet boat driver in Hanmer Springs and a very rare female driver in New Zealand, so we appreciate her very much. She is always down for some fun in the sun. We are happy you had a great day with us and we hope to see you back again soon. Cheers from Hanmer Springs Attractions Team

Short trip not worth the money you spend.
If we were to add up the whole time we were on the water it would've been only about 10-15 minutes say start time was 11am the driver comes at about 11:15 to take you down to try your life jackets that's another 10mins, the walks is another 5mins. Don't know why driver stops to tell stories no one in the back could hear. Zz
