Motu River Jet features in this jet boat club trip up the mighty Motu River, near Opotiki New Zealand. The destination: Helicopter Rapid. Opotiki Helicopters flew in too, for action from the air as well as the water. Both Motu River Jet and Opotiki Helicopters run commercial trips around the Opotiki-East Cape area, capturing the adventure and escape of Eastland — and if you're not into full-on, they do more leisurely trips as well. Brilliant stuff.
