Don't think just go for it

Don't hesitate just do it. We underestimated this ride, leave your shoes, put on those ponchos cause you won't be hopping out that boat as dry as you started. We were soaking wet !All those fast spinning, sudden stops, it was fun and exhilirating ride. Feels like you are in a ferrari or lambo but in the water! Well done to our cutiepie driver 😉😂

Excellent

I've been on many jetboat rides before and this ranks high on the list. Lots of twist, speeds and spins. Guaranteed to get soaked so bring togs/towel
