Poor service

Dennis_M, Jun 2026

There was no experience. I checked availability, booked and paid for the trip only to get an e-mail 30 min later to say they are not running the jet boat as the water level is to high. This was the day before the booked ride. I'm now trying to get a refund but nothing yet 3 days later.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that we were unable to operate your Jet Boat experience due to high water levels on the river. While we understand this was disappointing, safety conditions must always determine whether the activity can proceed. We also regret any concern caused by the timing of your refund. Once a refund has been authorised, the timeframe for funds to appear in an account can vary depending on the booking platform and financial institution involved. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We know this was not the experience you had planned for, and we appreciate your patience and understanding regarding the safety-related cancellation.

Awesome experience! Hike...

Joe_T, Jan 2026

Awesome experience! Hike down is no joke, kinda dangerous and very strenuous. Not recommended if you aren't in shape and have good balance. The ride was amazing, the views at the bottom of the falls are amazing, drove over 4-5 rapids as well, very fun for younger folks. Total ride time is maybe 40 minutes.

You will be soaked in the...

You will be soaked in the absolute best way. There is no view of the falls quite like this. It's a perfect blending of awe inspiring and thrill ride. The hike getting there is a little intense, but if you go slow it's not bad.

Fun experience

Lisa_S, Jul 2025

Good fun and good to see the bottom of the falls and all the power of the water. Recommend this as a toue

Great Fun and Well Worth Doing

GlennEdwards, Sep 2022

Great fun and a must do. Viator messed up the booking time but these guys ensured we were picked up and were able to do the boat ride before another activity. Boat ride was a lot of fun. The guys running it are great and ensure you are well looked after. A great way to see the falls.
