Jacob was amazing! A very talented driver and had a great sense of humour! It was an overall thrilling ride with some splashes to keep hydrated. Jacob was informative and provided many facts along the River; in addition to 360 spins. Lastly, the photos provided at the end were super high quality! Happy to support this business 😊

Had the best time with Shannon at the controls of the jet boat experience! Great fun great organisation and brilliant experience! Great value for money. Very safe and exhilarating at the same time. The Waikato River is stunning! A fantastic time from start to finish! Thanks, Rapids Jet! Had a ball!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘Epic ride on the Waikato River with Captain Jacob…..who is the coolest catfish to ever skim the river’s surface at 90 kmp……we laughed….we screamed…..we cheered…..we posed for photos…..and we walked away grinning, drenched and heads full of knowledge about jet boats, movies and the Waikato River…….totally rate this experience……especially with Captain Jacob’

“Amazing and worth every cent! I booked last minute and was so glad. Simon the driver was awesome.... riding the rapids was way more fun than I realised. The boat was smooth, and the 360 spins were awesome!”.
