Reach lightening speeds during this action-packed jet boat ride along the Waikato River. You'll hold on tight as your highly-trained driver squeezes through the narrowest section of the river and plays in the pressure waves of the Nga Awa Purua rapids, with plenty of spins thrown in along the way.
Experience all the spills and thrills of jet boating during this 35 minute ride on the Waikato River. After hopping on board the custom-built boat, your highly-trained driver will give you a quick run down of the beautiful river you'll be floating on before taking off. You'll shoot through the narrowest canyon on the Waikato River, ride in the pressure waves of the Nga Awa Purua rapids (river of springs) and experience multiple twists and turns. Your driver will reach speeds of up to 90km/h, so don't be surprised if you get the odd splash of pure Waikato blue over you!
