Speed, spins, and stunning scenery

Strap in – it’s time for a high-speed adventure across Queenstown’s legendary waterways. Your jet boat adventure kicks off with a quick safety rundown (don’t worry, even this part is fun) before you hit the throttle. In an instant, you’ll be skimming across the glassy waters of Lake Wakatipu, gaining speed as you enter the mighty Kawarau River. Hold on tight as your expert driver pulls off gravity-defying fishtails and exhilarating 360° spins, sending sprays of turquoise water into the air. With the Remarkables mountain range towering in the distance, this is Queenstown’s natural beauty at full throttle.

The adventure intensifies as you navigate the shallow, braided channels of the Shotover River and jet boat in water less than 5cms deep. This is an adventure you’ll need to experience for yourself.
