The best jet boat experience we’ve had in NZ... These guys ROCK!! Going the extra mile to provide a fun, fab and exciting experience for the whole family, we felt like we were the only ones there that day, and yet we know that they had been flat out all day!! Absolutely exceptional customer service and we will be back without hesitation. Thank you for making our experience one to forever remember. Andrew & Chris: your passion shines through.
What an awesome crew. Took our Grandson for a ride, everyone was informative and the Driver fantastic. Well worth it. Thanks
Our jet boat driver was amazing- he managed to get every last person on the boat absolutely soaking. His skills had us all shrieking and thinking he was trying to make us crash into giant rocks, only to move ever so slightly at the last moment. So much fun!
Guide was great, even better they were happy to take just the two of us out.
Great morning out with the family, the kids had a blast going through the mud and creak crossings, hired the 2 and 3 seat option. Great experienced crew, well worth doing, good value.
Our second time going Quad biking with these guys, the guide Chris and owners are amazing and super friendly! We’ll be back, it’s the best way to spend a sunny avo when the pools are too hot and packed! 😊 Lots of hill climbing, stream crossings, mud and straights! All while you have the most gorgeous view of the river and mountains. Don’t forget your sunnies and sunblock!
I convinced my family to do this for my birthday and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! There were 7 of us ages from 63-6 and we all loved it including our three kids (6,7,8). The ride it self was so long & worth every cent. THE VIEWS WERE INCREDIBLE. Can’t forget BRENDON also HE’s Gangsta (AWESOME), he made it thrilling and also informative. WE EVEN ENJOYED THE WALK DOWN AND UP FROM THE JET we literally laughed all the way up and down from the jet, slipped a bit and laughed more, and it was the greatest bonding time. Overall it WAS THE MOST FUN, FAMILY/KID FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE with great customer service. I don’t recommend going in barefeet like my husband as its rocky on the way down lol
Excellent experience . Must try
Fantastic, friendly customer service. Super fun ride. The driver shared lots of info with us about the river. Would 100% recommend this activity on your trip to Hanmer Springs.
The overall ride experience is awesome apart from going up and down the dock as it is not safe enough for older people or families with small kids.
Absolute awesome experience, from views, to thrill, to laughter, and good local info. Well worth it ?? Thank u!!
Excellent experience
I've visited Hanmer Springs with overseas guests regularly and I always suggest a trip on the Jet Boat, fun experience and no matter how many times I visit the boys and the Amuri Jet, still blows me away everytime. Looking forward to my next trip.
Took daughter and son in law and enjoyed the thrill of the speeding zig zagging boat but also the spectacular scenery of rushing water down a gorge with rocks rising steeply on either side, opening up to views of snow capped mountains in the distance.
Thank you so much to the staff, who made my brother and myself feel so welcome! My brother has downs syndrome and is autistic so sometimes it can be a little tricky booking things in advance, especially if they have the potential of being canceled due to weather etc. Right from booking the experience was fantastic. I received prompt, friendly reassurances to my emailed enquiries and when we arrived in a bit of a froth after rushing from christchurch we were greeted with genuine kindness and no eyerolling. Then we found out we were the only ones booked but weren't made to feel like a nuisance at all. Huge thanks to Cerian (sorry spelling) who was entertaining and engaging, giving us a good laugh and making my brother especially feel included and a part of all the explanations about safety, what was going on etc. Honestly it's a real gift to your business to have staff that are so comfortable and accommodating of disability as this is often not the case. There is a big push in christchurch at the moment to encourage businesses to be more accommodating in this regard as it's a hugely under utilized market because many potential customers with disposable income in this demographic encounter staff with a lack of skills or understanding that can often result in a sub par experience for the customer. I would say the staff we encountered without exception were well above the average you can expect most places and that speaks volumes for the treatment you will receive regardless of ability! Would and will recommend enthusiastically just for this reason... On top of that the actual experience was incredible! Skilled and safe environment with enough tricks and surprises to keep us on the edge of our seats. Thank you team and Ceiran? You did a great job and we really appreciated it ❤
What an awesome experience this is. Had the best time and loved the jet boating so much.
The staff were very friendly, and I even got picked up from town to the main office, the driver even stopped so I could take a photo at the lookout. The driver and assistant of the jetboat were awesome, friendly, patient. I had an amazing time, it was fun and thrilling and beautiful, would love a job doing this kind of thing, I would definitely use this company again for any more adventures. And reccomend them on social media to any keen adventurers. Thank you for an awesome time. Made my day.
Loved it
The Staff are very friendly I even left my action cam and went back to Christchurch but they assisted me right away how it can be delivered to me right away. The experience was awesome! I thought its just going to be a normal jet boat ride not until the driver did some really tricky manoeuvre and 360 spins but we felt safe the whole ride because the driver never failed to remind us what to do and not to do. Even though it was gloomy the view was still amazing. I woudl definitely bring my family next time so they too can experience this awesome adventure.
Thanks bookme for the good deal and the best experience we had for the day???. Way to go if you want to experience a thrill adventure. Will do the bungy jump next time.
The staff are fantastic. Each one had spunk, personality, humour and down to earth. We probably would of liked a 5 minute down time in between each activity tho as we didn't get a chance to catch our breath after the hirendous walk back up the hill. You guys should get a little trailer for one of the quads and drive people up and down. An extra thrill haha. Thanks for an amazing day team ??
Loved every minute of it! Daryl was a brilliant guide and hilarious to boot. Thanks for a great day out guys
Christian our Master speed chase driver of the boat was simply fantastic. Thankyou !
Awesome highly recommend. Will be back.
Had a lot of fun!!! Lost my cap in a spin... so no cap when jetboat riding😄😅 Lovely place... just over 1.5 hrs drive from Christchurch...lots of other activities happening too.. definitely coming back 😃
We had a fantastic morning out on the Jet Boat with Darryl. The ride was awesome and we saw some pretty cool scenery along the way. Darryl is a great bloke with a good sense of humour, and an awesome Jet Boat pilot! Thanks for a great experience - a definite highlight of our trip.
Wow, what an amazing experience. The guide was fantastic. They provide gumboots and overalls, along with all safety gear. After the group was familiar with the bikes and confident we were off!!! Along the way we stopped for a hot chocolate and biscuits. I would absolutely recommend this and will be back.
This was a fabulous experience. I booked for our family and close friends for my 50th birthday amd it was a high lite of our weekend in Hanmer. Our driver was calm and made us feel assured of our Safety and funny and informative. Beautiful ride with thrills along the way. Photo to purchase at the end. My husband had been on the jet boats in Queenstown but said this was way more beautiful river and scenic.
Loved this! The scenery is so beautiful, an amazing experience! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting hanmer springs. We had a hiccup on our trip with a person who struggled driving the quad, the instructor did amazing job supporting her and getting her to the end.
A must do in Hanmer Springs! Grear value for money. Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Will so do it again. Real thrill Aye
Such a great activity for Hanmer Springs
Not only was our driver awesome but the experience itself was amazing. Thrill ride and a half was absolutely Awesome!
Friendly staff.Well organized. Fun ride.
There is a first for everything and what a place to experience it. Hanmer springs itself is such a beautiful little town which became even more memorable when attending our activities, Our guides were full of knowledge, humor and were very chilled out which made the extreme side of it feel safe and in good hands. And to top it off it snowed.. Life time memories
We found this to be a very awesome experience, our driver was entertaining and kept up the thrills. Very beautiful river.
So much fun especially for a first time rider, easy to learn and such a thrill.
Great morning with a fantastic host. More than just a jetboat, it was informative & educational. Loved it & will be back!!
Highly recommended. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Jetboating was the best experience ever and was the highlight of our holiday.
It was great worth for money 100% .Bery nice people .
What a fantastic opportunity bookme presented. We would never have considered at all had we not found your incredible deals for this trip. Aaron our boat driver was professional and personable, dishing up fun and facts during the trip, along with some thrilling 360 turns and close encounters with cliff faces. Exceptional value all round.
Had the pleasure of taking my wife on her first jet boating experience yesterday at Jet Boat Waiau River in Hanmer Springs. It was a beautiful sunny day as we loaded the boat full of excited holiday makers. It didn’t take long for the yelling and screaming to start as we speed of up the river and completed our first 360 spin. The next 40 minutes was action packed as we speed back down then up the river narrowly missing rocks and fallen trees spraying the other boat with water as we did more 360s. A great 60 minute experience where not one of us came back with a dry butt. Great value and highly recommend. 🚤💦
