Review of Sydney’s 30-minute jet boat ride, with Opera House views, 270-degree spins, practical tips, price advice, and what to expect.

“This was good fun but you do get absolutely soaked, even with wearing the poncho! Most of the ride I had to keep the hood on and could barely see with all the sea spray in my eyes! We all had to buy dry clothes afterwards for our meal reservation, bear this in mind and take a change of clothes!! Kids enjoyed it though, it was a thrill ride with lots of giggles!”

Review of Sydney Harbour’s 45-minute Thunder Jet ride, with 360 spins, wave jumps, wet-weather tips, safety notes, and value advice.

“Absolutely amazing. It was a gift for my husband for his 70th birthday. We both had the best experience, the crew knew their job and did it in a professional manner. The only thing I did not think about was getting in and out of the boat which was hysterically funny. Thank you I am planning on sending my son and grandson for a ride. What a wonderful Saturday. Thunder jets gooooo!”
