Unfortunately, I was the sole occupier of my ride on the Huon Jet. Every aspect was just beautiful, it was a little overcast & rainy, so the smell of the Huon Pines was magnificent.My only criticism is the price - $75 when going with a group, $100 on your own.I would definitely recommend going with a group. The $75 is money well spent - the $100 not so much.
A wonderful experience, We went with other adult family members and everybody had enjoyed it, great for young families as well. Value for money. They also make home made scallop pies and they were delicious. The staff members are also very friendly and helpful. A great time.
Amazing action packed fun even in the rain. Well worth the trip out to Huonville from Hobart. Friendly and informative staff.
Booked this expecting it to be similar to other jet boat experiences around Australia and New Zealand. It really is more comparable to a scenic river cruise with commentary. There are a few 360 degree spins in the boat, but it certainly isn't the adrenaline pumping adventure you would expect. Our tour went for 40 minutes but I understand depending on the tide it can be longer. The staff were all lovely but at $78 per person it is very over priced.
We had an awesome time on the Huon Jet Boat ride!! It was my first time on one of these, although I have wanted to do it for a long time, was not disappointed, They are extremely friendly and took many photos of our trip for us. Even our 3 year old grandson had a ball. Well worth doing!!
Had so much fun! Kids are 7 and 5 and loved it! John, our guide/driver was brilliant. Stopping to show us things along the way and give us a bit of info on the area. He is pretty calm and laid back, which was good for someone who isn't a huge fan of boats (especially fast ones!) Highly recommend for anyone looking for a bit of a thrill!
Stop off at the Huon Jet Boats on the Esplanarde at Huonville .Cruise up the beautiful Huon River Conquer the rapids,view the magestic Sea Eagles posing on a high branch as if to say "don;t we look great" The Driver gave a interesting and friendly overview of the history of thr river and areaWe even saw the huge sea eagkes nest high in the trees .Make sure you enjoy this spectacular exciting river experience.Afterward you can enjoy refreshments in the cafe overlooking the calm waters,share witha duck or two and some fish swimming just below the water surface.Very easy level access
if your up for a Very Exciting and Hairy ride up the Huon River. Cruising up and over the Rapids. Enjoying the Friendly and Informative Driver all the way. Just about a 45minute drive from Hobart to Huonville, after going right through the Main Street,then turn right before crossing the Huon River, then another 1/2 k down to the Huon Jet Boat, past a Lovely Picknic & BBQ area beside the River.
Always find time to visit Huon Jet Boats when I'm in this area. Love the ride! I have never been disappointed. A bit expensive but well worth it :)
Although quite expensive for a relatively short time, well worth the money. We were the only two people on the jet boat - advise from receptionist to book for the first ride if possible, and had a great time out on the river with Andrew, the driver. He was very informative about the area and very skilful in operating the boat at high speed. Those spins were fantastic. The receptionist was also very friendly and took some great photographs of us before we went out on the boat. $15.00 for the CD of photographs of us and several shots of the river is a tad on the expensive side - but only going to be doing it once.
