Imagine flying down a river in a boat at about 80 miles per hour, just narrowly missing every trunk sticking out from the water, skimming the trees on the side of the river with your Jetboat, and doing 360 spins along the way.  This was our next thrill-ride of our trip -  Jetboating. 

I honestly was amazed at the absolute skill of our driver, not to mention more impressed at my willingness to trust this total stranger to conduct such an intense ride.  The drivers of these Jetboats actually take psychological tests to ensure they are sane enough to be manuevering these high speed boats, and they have over 100 hours of training, before they even take their first passenger. 

Our final destination of the ride was to Huka Falls, a spectacular waterfall, that is supposedly the most visited site in New Zealand.  Although the trip is only 30 minutes total, we certainly felt like we got our monies worth on this totally unique experience.

To top it off, right next door to the HukaJet was the Huka Prawn Park - Grandpa Art would have something to say about the Kosher aspect of that one.  Although a completely cheesy, tourist place, we couldn't resist a plate full of peel and eat prawns to end our HukaJet experience.
