"Rocking the boat with the royals! Kate Middleton and Prince William continued their tour in New Zealand on Sunday, April 13, with a fun-filled ride on a Shotover Jet, which touts itself as the &amp;quot;world&amp;apos;s most exciting jet boat ride.&amp;quot; Clearly, from their expressions during the outing, the Duke and Duchess certainly seemed to enjoy the action-packed, adventurous water excursion.\r\n\r\nAfter arriving and changing into waterproof coats and life jackets, the couple then made their way down a ramp into one of the 15-seater boats. The Duchess arrived with her hair down and pulled her tresses into a perfect ponytail. The pair waved for souvenir pics and greeted hundreds of tourists who had gathered downstream after their adrenaline-pumping water ride. The royal couple returned 20 minutes later, slightly damp but clearly exhilarated.\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;They were both grinning,&amp;quot; one observer told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;William said to Kate &amp;#x2018;that was so much fun!&amp;#x2019; and they were giggling as they came back to shore. Both a bit wobbly legged I think.&amp;quot;\r\nThe operations manager for Shotover Jet, Wayne Paton, took the Duke and Duchess out on the river. Paton, 43, told reporters, &amp;quot;They loved it, the Prince wanted me to go closer to the canyon walls. He said, &amp;apos;You can go closer than that.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\nAlong with Prince William&amp;apos;s thrill-seeking quips, Paton said, &amp;quot;There were some screams but not from them. It didn&amp;apos;t seem to phase him at all he was right into it and so was the Duchess.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLocal schoolteacher Joelle Healey, who took her students to greet the Duke and Duchess, told reporters that Kate was a big fan of the Shotover Jet. &amp;quot;The Duchess was talking to me about the boat ride, she said she loved it, and would recommend it to anyone,&amp;quot; Healey said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
