Our driver Ben made the trip great. It was the first time for my partner and second time for myself and we had so much fun. We got absolutely soaked and it was super fast!! The go pro up the front takes photos every 5 seconds and then they pick the best ones to post and you can download for free. Well worth the money!

What a blast!

"I'm so glad I went out in the jet boat. Shannon was our entertaining skipper and he spun the Cheeky Bee around like crazy. It was so much fun. Do yourself a favour and let yourself get wet. "
