Jet boating was an absolute blast. Problem is it is almost 4 hours round trip to do it. Much BIGGER problem is the tour company thought it was a good idea to pack 18 people and 1 driver into a van for those 4 hours. To accomplish this the rows of seats were packed. Knees rested against hard seat backs and people literally screamed in pain when someone in front of them shifted their weight. One person asked to stop the van just to get out for a brief moment. Truly ridiculous and unprofessional. Especially tough to swallow when the people who booked through the cruise line showed up to the jet boats in a plush coach bus, which would have been a completely different experience.
