For all you "revheads" out there this tour provides a complete V8 experience. Combine the awesome experience of driving a V8 Super School Racing Car at the Holden Performance Driving Centre with the thrills of the “Chevy V8” powered Jet Boat ride.
Your tour begins as you arrive at the departure jetty, where you are greeted by your skipper for the day. After a quick briefing on safety, you will don a lifejacket before heading out onto the open water.
