Get ready to experience 360 degree spins at incredible speeds as youre taken on the jet boat ride of a lifetime. For 30 minutes youll have the opportunity to experience some of the best wilderness and along the way, participate in a few hair-raising jet boat manoeuvres!
Experience a unique combination of excitement and natural beauty of the Huka Falls on this 30-minute thrilling jet boat ride. During your experience, youβll be in the hands of a down-to-earth, funny and professional jet boat driver who can make a jet boat do things you would never believe possible!
Your jet boat will incorporate the very latest technology and is powered by a supercharged V6 Buick engine with twin Hamilton Jet units thrusting 800 litres of water a second. These boats offer superior visibility thanks to tiered seats which are also ergonomically moulded and even feature heated and hinged hand rails for enhanced comfort and safety.
The half hour of thrills, fun and excitement will take you along a beautiful river environment, lined with native bush, sheer rock cliff face and natural hot springs. But itβs not all smooth sailing as you take on 360 degree spins at incredibly close and disorientating speeds for an amazing must-do jet boat experience, before you even reach the awe inspiring Huka Falls.
From the unique vantage point we have on the boat you have the best water level view of Huka Falls; New Zealandβs most visited natural attraction.

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.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice.

Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author β including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
