A fun ride up and down the river. Daniel was fun!

Hanmer jet boat
So disappointed. Paid $88 pp. Got to the place to book in and found it was only $60pp. Waste of money.

재미있는 경험 이였습니다.
5살, 3살 아이와 함께 보트를 즐겼습니다. 무더운 여름날이였기 때문에 무척 시원하고 즐거웠습니다. 5살 아이는 타기전에는 무서워 했지만 즐거워 했고 3살 아이는 좀 무서워 해서 제가 옆에서 아이를 앉아주고 잡아주어야 했습니다. 제트보트는 시원한 바람을 맞으면 속도감과 재미를 느낄 수 있었습니다. 추천합니다.
