From calm waters to full-throttle action
Strap in for a jet boat ride that takes you from scenic to extreme in seconds! After a quick safety briefing, your expert driver cranks up the speed, launching you across the glassy waters of Lake Wakatipu at a heart-racing 95 km/h. Feel the wind whip past as you carve through the lake, passing lush shorelines and spotting black-billed gulls, paradise shelducks, and scaups along the way. But this is just the beginning – the real adventure kicks in as you power into the Kawarau River, where narrow canyons and twisting channels await.
Tight turns, wild spins, and epic landscapes
As the river winds through the dramatic Kawarau Gorge, sheer cliffs rise on either side, leading to jaw-dropping views of the Remarkables mountain range. Your driver pushes the limits, weaving through the canyons before hitting the brakes (just for a moment), then launching into exhilarating 360° spins that send water flying. Whether you go for the 25-minute thrill ride or the full 60-minute adventure, expect non-stop excitement, insane speeds, and a whole lot of splashing fun.
