Itinerary

Charge across Lake Whakatipu with a jet boat ride like no other and a great thrill off the shores of Queenstown. You're in for a treat as your driver navigates through the shallow waters, past towering cliffs, and down the winding path of the Kawarau River.

Once you step onto the vessel, you're propelled out into untouched scenery that you can only access by watercraft. Check out the peaks of the Remarkables, the Kelvin Peninsula, and Cecil Peak as you race over the water at up to 55 miles per hour (90km/h). The power of your boat can lend itself to some great acrobatics, so hold on for the famous 360-degree spin.

Your expert driver can effortlessly handle Class V rapids and aims to give you an exciting ride with the maximum degree of fun; heighten the extraordinary adrenaline rush and get the perfect combination of natural beauty and artificial power.

    Stunning views and fun times. Highly recommend this experience. Driver was outstanding and the scenery was spectacular. Fun for kids as well and better than paying for a 25minute ride with other companies in the area for your first time. The 360’degree turns were fun and not scary at all. Next time I would like to go on a more adventurous version of this experience.

    I have done previous trips with other companies and much preferred the Dart river excursion in Lake Whatatipu. In hindsite I regret we did not do a jet boat out of Wanaka this time. The Kawarau river scenery was average. The 12 March afternoon trip was marred during our return ride when we encountered a short steep chop head-on as a rain shower passed through. Incredibly hard and jarring ride which the boat operator did little to mitigate. I am a skipper myself and he should have slowed down more and taken the waves at an angle. He was in a comfortable spring-mounted seat so was oblivious to the discomfort of his passengers. Perhaps he was in a rush to get back to the dock.

    The boat ride was exciting and fun. My family enjoyed every moment. The pilot of jet boat is entertaining as well. I would recommend others to experience it.

    This was a well done tour, boat was fun and great shape, felt very safe even though going at high speeds. The only negative is I am 70 years old and there was lots of turbulence on the water which caused some hard bumps that I think affect the older body a bit more than young ones. While I had a good time I am not sure I would go again uncles the water was very calm.
