Nette Abwechslung

War einen Besuch wert, einmal Jetboat fahren ist jedoch nach meinem Empfinden genug. Location hier ist sicher spannender wie in einem See. Preis ist eher teuer, ist jedoch überall in NZ etwa gleich.

Wahnsinn!

Es hat riesig Spaß gemacht. Wir sind in hohem Tempo durch den Canyon und haben die ein oder andere 360 Grad-Drehung gemacht. Der Guide hat zwar ein bisschen zur Region und der Geschichte erzählt, aber wir saßen in der letzten Reihe und haben aufgrund des lauten Motors nichts verstanden. Man wird ziemlich nass, also am besten Wechselsachen dabei haben. Einen Fön gibt es vor Ort.

40 Minuten?

5 Sterne für Jetboating an sich, ABER da dies keine Bewertung für die Aktivität, sondern für den Anbieter ist muss ich meine Begeisterung für diese sehr zu empfehlende Sache zurückstecken. Ich habe zum Glück ein gutes Angebot auf dieser Seite bekommen, sonst wäre meine Freude wahrscheinlich ein bisschen gedämpft, da die Fahrt (mit 40 Minuten angegeben) nach maximal 25 Minuten vorbei war (ja ich habe gestoppt). Die 40 Minuten würde ich eher auf die gesamte Zeit (Wartezeit, Umziehen, Ein- und Aussteigen) beziehen.
