We had Jacob as our guide he was awesome, comedic and talented driver very fun boat ride aswell recommend checking the weather forecast before booking but they supply you with glasses for if you do it in the rain

My partner and I had Jacob as our guide and he was amazing. Talented with driving the jet boat and a wealth of knowledge. An amazing adventure we’ll never forget!

This was our top tour of our trip and we did 27 things. Highly highly recommend. It was raining on first half of our ride but didn’t even matter. We had a blast !!! My wife that was scared / nervous about all the other tours loved this one the best and would do it again anytime. Highly recommend to purchase the photo package after. Very high quality and shots taken. Worth every penny.

Jacob was amazing person / jet boat driver and with great sence of humor. It was lovely experience and must visit. We all enjoyed will highly recommend to everyone.

This was the the highlight of our trip to Taupo Jacob is the best driver and host so funny and was great with my 3 boys who want to go back again so worth the money and experience the thrill thanks so much Rapid jet can't wait to come back again highly recommend a must to try 😊

The staff at Rapids Jet were friendly and professional, ensuring that everyone felt at ease before embarking on our journey. After a brief safety briefing, we donned our life jackets and boarded the jet boat. As we sped off down the river, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking scenery that surrounded us. Towering cliffs, lush greenery, and crystal-clear waters created a picture-perfect backdrop for our adventure. The knowledgeable guide, Jacob, provided interesting insights into the area's history and geology, adding an educational element to the thrill ride. The sheer power of the jet was awe-inspiring, yet I felt completely safe in the hands of our skilled driver. One of the highlights of the trip was the famous "Squeeze," a narrow gorge where the water rushes in at breakneck speed. Throughout the journey, the boat's speed and agility were truly impressive, allowing us to tackle even the most challenging rapids with ease. Yet amidst the adrenaline-fueled excitement, there were also moments of tranquility as we cruised along calmer stretches of the river, taking in the natural beauty that surrounded us. The Rapids Jet experience had delivered an unforgettable adventure, I recommend embarking on this unforgettable journey down the Waikato River.

Jacob the driver was unreal and friendly He made the boat give us the best ride ever!!! He had good information about the river and ensured it was a great experience

Awesome time and highly recommend. Our driver, Jacob, was great, his skill, knowledge of the area, and humour were outstanding.

RapidsJet provided an exhilarating experience that exceeded all expectations. Jacob, our guide, was nothing short of phenomenal. His knowledge of the river and passion for adventure were evident throughout the journey. From thrilling maneuvers to insightful commentary, Jacob ensured every moment was memorable. RapidsJet with Jacob at the helm is an absolute must-do for adrenaline junkies and nature enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend!

It was So much so much fun. Loved the twist and 360's and even more going up the rapids. Guide was funny and informative too!

My partner and I had so much fun. The views were amazing and Simon our guide was fun and very knowledgeable. We were in awe the whole time. Definitely something to put on your to-do list if visiting the area.

Fun and exciting! Even though the weather was not great we still had a lot of fun. I will recommend this to anyone.

WOW!! An absolute must when at Lake Taupo. The most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. Our boat driver Simon was very knowledgeable and shared lots of fun facts about the river and where movies were filmed. Not to mention he’s one badass boat driver.

Well delivered boat ride, great fun, great staff. Busts of speed and turns, over rapids several times, stationary river facts were given at appropriate points.

Amazing rapids jet ride. My family and I had a blast. Great jet drifter helmed the boat. Great customer service and awesome experience. Love it

Fabulous morning spent with the knowledgable Jacob. Great fun whilst still feeling safe and in great hands. Definitely recommend

Wow - what a thrill and fantastic experience!!! Simon, was an amazing driver and had incredible knowledge about the river. I had my family over from Melbourne and NSW and they were in awe and had a fabulous experience. We won't forget this experience.

Had a great time doing donuts on the Waikato River with these guys. Action packed with a few laughs, some great information about geothermal activity and huge amounts of water flow with the added bonus of cruising through a few movie sets from some pretty big movies. Value for money definitely.

Jacob was awesome, he started our stag day great. He was funny and knowledgeable about the area. Thanks for a great experience!! Probably one of the best jet boat rides!!

We had a brilliant trip with skipper Jacob. Such good fun and the speed was amazing. Be prepared to get wet, couldn’t decide whether to wear waterproof jackets but when I saw Jacob in one we decided we would. We were very pleased as we got soaked, being in the front, which I think was the best seats. We saw lots, Jacob was informative and had a good sense of humour. Lots of turns and jumps in the rapids. Would definitely recommend to anyone
