Exceed expectation! The ride was fun and the driver was friendly and gave us a few insights about the boat and the location. The landscape is also pretty amazing. Would recommend this to anyone who’s coming to Queenstown.

My most memorable part of this trip was our driver, Nick, being excellent in taking us through the river with high speeds and joy. He always managed to fits in as many 360s as possible and that is fantastic! This activity made my day and because of our brilliant and humorous driver, we left with a colossal smile for the rest of the day.

Great experience. The 25 minutes flies by, but you'll love it. If you have kids or are you are short try not to sit in the back row as the cameras won't pick them/you up. My boys basically aren't on the photos we purchased. Apart from that, a professional and we'll run operation and a great experience.

The views were awesome the ride was also great and very fast. The heated handles were also great. Great for the family or friends you don't get too wet either which is also good.

This attraction does not disappoint if you are into thrills and chills. Each boat holds 14 and is piloted by a professional driver. You will experience high speeds, and sudden quick turns as you head straight for a rock wall. 360 degree spins. We felt completely safe doing this. Amazing that the boat requires very little water to go skimming along at high speeds. Ride was 30 minutes so some may say it is pricey. But it was worth the adrenaline rush. A must do while in Queenstown.
