Wilderness Jet Boat Experience

• Experience the thrill of speeding through Dart River on a 2-hour jet boat ride that covers up to 90km of unmatched scenery in Mount Aspiring National Park.

• With dense forests as your backdrop, listen to your driver-guide share tales of how the Māori trekked through the region on their way to the pounamu fields.

• Marvel at the snow-capped Mount Cosmo and Nox and the cute blue and gray ducks as you speed over the shallow braids of Dart River.

• Did you know? Mount Aspiring is often called ‘the Matterhorn of the South’ due to its pyramid peak.

You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
