Children must be at least 2-years-old, weigh over 13kg and fit our smallest life jacket.

What are your weight restrictions?

You just need to be over 13kg.  There are no upper weight limits.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes. Jet Boating is an excellent family activity to be enjoyed by all. Bring your kids, they will love it!

Can I take my camera?

Yes, you may take your camera. We do plenty of photo stops so it’s definitely worth it, this is at your own risk.

Will I get wet?

Possibly. Spray jackets are NOT provided. Please bring a waterproof jacket with you! You'll want to dress warmer than the weather conditions so bring an extra layer or two.

Can I take my bag?

We have a safe locker for you to store your valuables, if it is necessary to take a small bag for medical reasons, this will not be a problem just let the friendly staff know.

Will I get seasick?

Jet boating should not make you feel seasick. Thunder Jet goes down the river where it is calmest even when the lake is rough.

Can I ride on the jet boat if pregnant?

We don’t recommend going jet boating while pregnant, unfortunately.
