Reviews: Katoa Jet Boat tour on Lake Rotorua

We had a wonderful experience and enjoyed it with the whole family. The boat driver was very cheerful and friendly. The explanations were very comprehensive and included jokes. The spinning the boat around in the water was something we really loved.

Fantastic ride on the longest river in NZ. Plenty of 360 spins, rapid runs, swerves and close calls! Driver Aaron was experienced and informative. Cracked a few dad jokes along the way. The gorge was beautiful, we saw fish, waterfalls and the misty morning in June was fresh. Not as high octane as Shotover- a different experience altogether, but many more swerves and 360’s made it worth the money.
Reviews: From Auckland | 1-day tour of Waitomo glowworm caves + Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ geothermal park in a 16-person group

It's Cheeky Wiki, a well-known local travel agency. Our group wasn't large this time, and the driver-guide arranged for self-introductions and a Q&A session, like a teacher leading students. It was my first time in New Zealand, and I saw wormholes, geothermal activity, and kiwis for the first time. It was definitely worthwhile to experience it all in one day. Although the driving time was a bit long, there were frequent short breaks, and the time management was reasonable, so it didn't feel too tiring.

What an absolute blast! The staff were amazing the ride was even more so. A group of 6 of us went along for a bit of team building. Being the middle of winter we excepted a very cold ride however this was not the case. The day was still chilly but the ride not so, a warm jacket is all you needed to be comfortable. Lots of spins and turns, bit of commentary about the dam, river and surrounding area. The photos were affordable and there was a decent amount of them unlike similar attractions where you may received 3. Some of us are planning a repeat taking family and friends along for the ride.
