We had a blast. Were booked on a lunchtime ride but this was postponed due to heavy rain. The excellent and friendly staff said there was a good chance of a window in the weather at about 3:15pm so we headed into Taupo for lunch and sure enough the rain subsided around 3pm and we got the thumbs up. The skipper was great and we whizzed up and down the river for over 30 minutes doing numerous 360s and flying over some great rapids numerous times. He stopped and explained the geography of the river and some of the films and locations used during the trip which was really interesting. We are so glad we decided to take the later trip before heading on to Rorotura. Thoroughly recommend it and thank you to all involved at Rapids Jet Taupo.

Brilliant fun for the whole family, best thing to do on a slightly wet day. Our driver Taylah had excellent knowledge of everything about the river and the dam. Highly recommended.

Super fun — a must-do while in the area! The staff were incredibly welcoming, informative, and friendly from start to finish. We had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed the thrill while taking in the breathtaking river views. Getting splashed on the boat was the perfect cool-down on a hot day. Highly recommended!
