jetboating

Watercraft canyon adventure

Jetboating is the recreational activity of riding in a jetboat, a watercraft propelled by a jet of water rather than an external propeller.

The design allows jetboats to operate in very shallow water and make sharp turns at high speed, making them popular for river touring and thrill rides.

We went jetboating through the canyon rapids on our New Zealand trip.
