Region: Queenstown; Canterbury; Makarora; Waitokot

Fit for all ages and thrilling for everyone, a jet boat ride takes you powering through narrow river gorges, almost brushing against sheer rock faces; or skimming across the surface of water channels that weave through the shingle banks of braided rivers.

It’s so much fun that you will brace yourselves before you almost touch the rocks and smoothly glide aside in a jet boat. Some of the most exhilarating trips are available near Queenstown and Canterbury.

Other areas include the Buller and Makarora regions in the South Island and the Rangitaiki, Whanganui and Waikato Rivers in the North Island.
