- Alright so I've got a free afternoon around Queenstown
before I go up to Te Anau tonight in preparation for my
Doubtful Sound overnight cruise tomorrow.
So I was just chilling on the edge of the lake
and saw these guys just shooting around in these jet boats,
which look pretty fun.
Here you go: KJet Jet Boats.
So I thought alright I'll quickly book myself on
and see what all the fuss is about.
"Two Rivers - Twice the Excitement."
Well, do you know what, I first of all need to understand
what one level of excitement is, so I can then
accurately judge if I've 2-Xed my level of excitement.
Let's see.
Let's jump on and get ready to rock and roll.
Oh, safety briefing.
- Just make sure we stay seated,
and keep hold of the handrail.
- Hey!
Hey!
Oooohhhhh!
Wooo ooo.
Wooooo.
(upbeat music)
Pretty peaceful cruise on the lake if I'm honest.
(upbeat music)
(riders screaming)
Woooooo!
It makes it like we're gonna smash
into the islands when he does that.
Pretty good.
(upbeat music)
(riders screaming)
Woooooo!
Wehhhhh.
Woo wooo!
There we go, nice little jet session on the lake.
Got drenched a couple of times.
So was it 10 out of 10?
Was it twice the thrills?
Um...maybe not, it was alright.
At times it was a little bit like a
casual cruise on the lake if I'm honest.
But it was good though; I got wet.
Enjoyed it, I liked the speed,
I'll tell you the bits that really (expletive) me up,
was when he was literally going head-on towards
like a...a tree or something in the middle of the water.
Or the edges of the riverbank,
and then just swerving out of the way last minute.
And it was proper...that was proper,
proper got me going a little bit.
But yeah, it was interesting.
