Queenstown Explore New Zealand, Australia & Fiji!tune
Hit the water for an unforgettable exhilaration and blood-pumping thrill of New Zealand’s most iconic adventure activity, the jet boat!
Highlights
- A wild jet boat ride on world famous Lake Wanaka and the Clutha river.
- Pure adrenaline on New Zealand’s swiftest river
- World renowned Hamilton Spins and high powered jet boats
- Real jet boating in waters that’s less than 5cm in places
Picture yourself skimming across shallow water, over sand bars, through rapids and around rocks at speeds in excess of 80kph, now picture doing this down New Zealand’s swiftest river with no seat belt and no brakes; that’s one way to get your adrenaline levels through the roof.
Set in the South Island's gorgeous Wanaka, you’ll explore the famous Clutha River at mind-boggling speeds with some of the world’s best scenery in the background.
Starting with a breath taking journey over Lake Wanaka, take in the snow-capped mountain views as the anticipation of tackling one of the world’s swiftest flowing rivers begins.
Let you adrenaline levels build as your demonstrates the manoeuvrability of the jet boat, pushing it to its absolute limits as the boat is skilfully navigated through shallow water, tunnels and over giant pressure waves! And of course any jet boat ride is complete without those famous 360 spins.
Along the way, the driver will stop for that once in a lifetime photograph and provide a fascinating commentary of the area and the jet boat itself.
The ultimate fusion of spectacular southern scenery and pure exhilaration - don’t leave Wanaka without doing this!

Amazing!!
We had an amazing experience with Lakeland Wanaka. The jet boat ride was so much fun. The commentary was interesting and the driver was super friendly.

Exhilarating Jet Boat Ride
We have been on other Jet boat rides, as opposed to being short and sweet, the Wanaka Jet Boat ride was a whole hour of exhilarating fun, so much beautiful scenery and Amber our driver and guide gave us a wonderful insight into the lake and river with plenty of really interesting facts snd figures. Rated highly! We’d do it again for sure!
From Wanaka Jet Boat - 1 Hour Jet Boat ride
