✨ A wholesome full-circle moment with our guide JJ & her little shadow, Tahlia! 💛

Back in August 2023, this Aussie whānau had a guided trip with JJ, where Tahlia formed a special bond with her. Fast forward a year and a half later—they booked again, hoping to see JJ. And guess what? The universe delivered! ✨

"Why did no one tell me how fun jet boating is?? Even though I spend my summer on water, nothing could've prepared me for the feeling of gliding across the water that's made possible with this type of engine, and then you get to SPIN! Think like doing donuts combined with a roller coaster.

Had a gigantic grin plastered all over my face the entire trip, and officially discovered my favorite kind of activity: a really fun tour, with a really awesome backdrop and this delivered 👏 "
