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

재미있는 경험 이였습니다.
5살, 3살 아이와 함께 보트를 즐겼습니다. 무더운 여름날이였기 때문에 무척 시원하고 즐거웠습니다. 5살 아이는 타기전에는 무서워 했지만 즐거워 했고 3살 아이는 좀 무서워 해서 제가 옆에서 아이를 앉아주고 잡아주어야 했습니다. 제트보트는 시원한 바람을 맞으면 속도감과 재미를 느낄 수 있었습니다. 추천합니다.
