Hold on tight and buckle up as you are taken on this high speed jet boat ride on the mighty Kawarau River. Your highly-trained jet boat driver will navigate shallow braided water, race past canyon walls at epic speeds and finish off with some unforgettable 360 spins, so hold on tight!
Prepare for the thrill of your life with this 40 minute jet boat ride on the Kawarau River in Central Otago. Arriving 30 minutes before to check in, buckle into your life jacket and settle into your seat on this high speed jet boat. Take off discovering the Kawarau Gorge and learn about the history of the region from your experienced skipper. Next, you’ll pick up speed and zip past sheer rock cliff faces, giant boulders and into the shallower waters of Bannockburn. After viewing the Kawarau Gorge, hold on tight as you’ll speed up all the way to the ‘Staircase Rapid’ and end the ride with some 360 spins. This experience is perfect for an afternoon or morning activity to get the heart racing, all whilst enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Kawarau River.
Warm clothing is recommended in the winter. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen, a camera, and sunglasses.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
