Ride with Lakeland Wanaka and experience the water like you never have before. We take you on a thrilling 60 minute high speed Jet boat ride; departing from Wanaka’s waterfront enjoy a short jaunt across the lake taking in unsurpassed snow-capped mountain views, as we prepare to enter one of the world’s swiftest flowing rivers, the Clutha River. 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. This is an adventure for most so come and experience the iconic NZ Jet boat right in the heart of Wanaka.

The amount of knowledge that our driver amber had about the lake was amazing. We couldn’t believe how good of a driver she was. We had a blast!

One of the best experiences you can do. Great adrenaline rush! Woo Hooo! The trip down the Lake Wānaka Outlet/ Clutha River to Albert town Bridge was amazing. Water levels are currently high so you only got glimpses of rocks underneath the surface. Amber was so informative and a great driver. Those 360° turns... wow! A Gopro would have really helped to be hands free as I didn't trust myself not to hold on 🤣

Value cannot be beaten! We paid $270 for the 2 of us and got way more than 60mins and over 50km on an incredible jet boat ride. Seriously if you go anywhere else, prepare to fork out some serious coin. The team were accommodating, friendly, fun and safety certain. Loved the whole experience from booking, to price point, to traveling to the river, being helped with our PFDs, our captain was a no nonsense all cheeky guy who really knew the river, completely knew his vessel to sharing some of the local history as well. Worth every penny and as newbies to Wānaka we want everyone to give it a go, you won't regret it. Thrills aplenty! Loved this ride!
