Great fun on the river with excellent driving skills from Charles (19/09 at 2pm). Good snippets of history intermittently when we paused and really got our hearts racing with the driving skills!

Highlights

Depart from Main Town Pier in central Queenstown for a jet boat ride of about 1 hour across Lake Wakatipu and along the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers. Ride a big yellow twin-engine jet boat at speeds of up to 95 km/h past rocks and under bridges. In the shallow sections of the Shotover River, you can also experience thrilling 360-degree spins. Heated handrails let you enjoy the ride in any season, and the jet boat is owned and operated by New Zealanders.


Program

Board a yellow jet boat
at Main Town Pier in central Queenstown

After a safety briefing at the main town pier in central Queenstown, board the big yellow jet boat. It departs right from the town centre, so it is easy to get to, and the heated handrails keep you warm even in winter.

 

Cross Lake Wakatipu to the Kawarau River

The high-performance twin-engine boat speeds across Lake Wakatipu. Take in the majestic views of The Remarkables as you enter the Kawarau River, where twists and spins follow as you pass rocks and bridges at up to 95 km/h.

 

Experience 360-degree spins on the shallow Shotover River

In the shallow sections of the Shotover River, the boat performs 360-degree spins at speed. Hold on tight to the heated handrails during the spins. After covering about 45 km, return to the pier where you can view photos and videos taken during the ride and purchase them if you wish.
