Had such an amazing time ! The fews are so good! Definitely recommend it
Disappointed in the response when we rang and explained our situation that I had an accident the day before our jet boat ride and it happened less than 24 hours before therefore there wasn’t enough time to cancel and get a refund. I did not get home till late the night before the booking due to the accident and when I rang in it was after hours so I could not get a hold of anyone. So I rang at opening the next morning and was told they can’t help me because I should have left an email. The difference in them receiving an email which they would have seen at opening and the time I called would not have made any difference. The best they offered was to reschedule 3 days later. The accident was completely out of my control as was the timing. Therefore, there should be some consideration for that.
Fantastic! Nice shot

Fun for all
Water was quite high the day we went, but was still fun. The driver was great, talked to everyone and showed us some things along the river. The full boat turns were super fun. We didn’t get more than a spray on us at the front. Thankfully our ride wasn’t cancelled but be aware weather can close them down when planning your holiday.
