jet boating

High-speed river ride

Jet boating is recreational boating using watercraft propelled by jet drives rather than external propellers.

The jet intake allows these boats to operate in very shallow water—sometimes just inches deep—making them popular for river running and exploring waterways inaccessible to conventional boats.

We went jet boating through the canyon rapids.
