Here your expert driver will raise your excitement demonstrating the manoeuvrability of the jet boat pushing it to its absolute limits; skilfully navigating through shallow water, tunnels and over giant pressure waves, speeding past trees mere inches from your face disappearing in your peripheral vision. Picture yourself skimming across shallow water, over sand bars, through rapids and around rocks at speeds in excess of 80kph; and of course, a jet boat ride wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Hamilton Spin! A high-speed manoeuvre causing the boat to spin rapidly on the spot creating G forces you just can’t get enough of.

Amazing experience! Great views on the mountains around the lake and the river banks. Driving on a jet boat at high speed is a thrill, with our professional guide Matt just fun!

We’ve done the QT jet boat but this one has a smaller boat and it was faster!! We had such a blast and Matt is an outstanding guide and driver!

Great jet boat ride on the Clutha River. Fast and furious with plenty of spins and tight turns, Matt the skipper made the trip fun.

Such a great experience lots of fast paced and twirls and quiet times to follow 5knot rule. But the jet boat ride up the Clutha river was the best I have been on

Absolutely amazing. The man driving the boat (Matt) was wonderful and kept me feeling reassured because I was a bit anxious. Best time I've ever had on a boat. It was so exhilarating and the water was so pretty! The turns and spins were an awesome adrenaline rush!

Matt took me and my friend on the jetboat over lake Wanaka on a late afternoon in November. It was great! He knew a lot of stuff about the area and the boat. Spinned, raced and showered along river and lake, very skillfull navigator, really great fun!
