Have tried to do a few firsts whilst I have been travelling and today was my first jet boat ride. We're out for about three hours with Brent who was driving the boat and the trip also included a walk in the wilderness. There were only three of us on the afternoon trip which was great, myself and a couple from Australia. The boat travels up the river which is very low most of the time, the water was no more than about two to five inches deep. We whizzes up the river taking sharp turns and occasionally scraping the river bottom which is mostly pebbles. Did quite a few 360Degree turns which was great fun, we did get quite wet but it was a very hot day so it didn't really matter. GREAT FUN if a little expensive. Brent was very informative and told us that the rock flour or minerals is what gives the lakes and rivers its colour which is a beautiful blue. The only disadvantage was getting bitten on the walk but otherwise a great day.
