Jet boat experience and great scenery.

5.00This was a 2 hour experience up the Dart River into a Unesco world heritage area. We had good commentary and stops along the way. The jet boat travels along some shallow areas of the river with the driver selecting the route as he is travelling. There is some amazing scenery during the ride. Only 14 people in the boat.

5.00What a thrilling and amazing experience. I’d done the driving from Queenstown so hadn’t been able to fully appreciate the scenery on the way to Glenorchy so I really enjoyed the bus ride up to and beyond the town of Paradise. The educational walk in the woods was so peaceful and interesting. Then the thrills began! The ride down the river with our guide Nikki was an amazing experience. So much fun, such breathtaking scenery, on such an incredible river and in an amazing and exhilarating jet boat! So many great memories!

5.00The tour was superbly well managed. The tour guide was efficient in driving and navigating the boat. We felt very comfortable and safe in the seat. The boat went up the river over a good long distance and down in good speed without any rashness of bravado.
Fabulous experience!

5.00We had such a memorable afternoon, definitely one we'll never forget! We shared our experience from Queenstown with a group of 30 from Israel - we're really not sure if they realised what they had been booked to do as they didn't seem to be the jet boat type (especially the chap with crutches!) They didn't understand they couldn't all go in one boat together so that took some sorting before we had to kit up. It had rained heavily overnight so we had to bus to the river, the mud steps proved challenging for them so we jumped in to help the driver & captain Toby. They asked for the boat to go slower as they had 'neck & back issues' - Toby was an absolute star, so patient & calm with the situation. Anyhow, we sat up front with Toby & had a great time - the views were awesome , the colours of the water, the mountains - untouched & unspoilt. Never been in a jet boat before & loved it! We helped them all out again as we'd have been there for hours if we hadn't! We had such a laugh, well done to all involved as it really was fun!
This is an experience not to be missed.

5.00This was a fantastic experience. Our skipper, Toby, was very informative and a super helmsman. He took time to point out various interesting facts about the river, its changing heights and flow rates.
Wild and safe adventure

5.00Great afternoon, well organised and great fun. We boarded upstream because of strong southerly winds on the lake. We travelled up two of the rivers. The speed and 360 turns was great. We did pause for some education on our environment and the boat jet engine. Highly recommended
