Hilarious Ride on Thunder Jet Boat at Sydney Harbour. Staff was helpful specially the manager. The Boat operator Darren was operating boat and he was great and skilled. He did excellent job and made the trip memorable for us. Highly recommendable.

By Kattia P

This jet boat ride was so much fun, loved the speed and music on board. Definitely got the adrenaline pumping. Staff were very friendly. As others have mentioned, be prepared with a change of clothes. We got drenched! An unforgettable experience.

By Absolute Blast

Great way to see the harbor in a fun and exciting ride, even for locals it is quite memorable. Highly recommend everyone to go try it out, driver was fantastic and crew on wharf were just as fantastic. Do bring a change of clothes though as you are guaranteed to get wet!

By Christine F

Have done similar rides in both New Zealand and Fiji...and I would rate this one as the best of the 3. What a unique way to see the magnificent harbour, not one person got off the boat without a smile from ear to ear. The staff are very helpful and friendly, Cannot recommend this enough..JUST DO IT!
