Jet Boating, Huka Falls Jet Boat - Taupo, NZ Jet Boat Rides
The manoeuvrability of the Jet Boat is legendary, you’ll awe at the speed and precision in which you torpedo gracefully down the river to play in the tail of the mighty white water of the Huka Falls. You will pass by clouds of steam, rising where a hot stream joins the river, you will see the Huka Prawn Park, the Wairakei Geo-Thermal Power Station and the Aratiatia Dam.
You will zoom past sheer rock cliffs with just centimetres to spare, exhilarated and secure in the knowledge that your driver is an expert and that you’re enjoying the most thrilling ride of your life.

Reviews 
The most fun we had all holiday - great for the younger and older members of the family. The whole experience was made about 500 times better by Minger who was hilarious for the full 30 minutes and also a very talented and precise pilot (mind the cliff). He had us all in stitches with his antics which I'm sure he's done many times over, but it all came across as if it were the first time. Brilliant bloke! Sharp as a knife. Fantastic boat! You couldn't have more fun... well, not in a boat doing 360 spins at any rate. Do it - you won't regret it!
