Nette One-Time Erfahrung

Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Mehr als die 25 Minuten müssen aber aus unserer Sicht nicht sein. ;-)

Jet-Boot war spitze

Die Fahrt war super. Das muss man einfach erleben. Leider ist unser Foto bisher noch nicht bei eingegangen. Schade.

Wet, cold but so much fun

The weather decided to rain just as we headed out, so we got pretty wet and cold fast, yet it just added to the experience. My kids and I had a blast, our driver was cool and so was the music, and the views were just amazing. Thanks Thunder Jet Queenstown.
