Hello my name is shonese wright we booked in for the 3rd of march for my birthday and I’m telling you me and my family had an absolute blast!! We were the loudest people on the boat and the biggest group but I’m telling you we’d book again in a heartbeat!!! Definitely coming here again. You guys catered to our needs 100%!!!
I had a really fun time. Our driver was lovely and made me feel simultaneously safe and hyped up. The free photos were appreciated.
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.
Excellent experience . Must try
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
So much fun especially for a first time rider, easy to learn and such a thrill.
The actuql jet boating and staff were fricken awesome. Was smiling ear to eat the whole time, part way through I actuqlly had to stop smiling as my cheeks got sore. Only thing that tained the experience was the hill/driveway that we had to walk down and up to get to and from the jet was a bit of a let down. Actual jet boat experience was awesome, but the in and out kind of took away some of the enjoyment, even just a trailer or tractor would do to take people up and down :)
Our guide Zac was awesome on the quad bike tour. Really knowledgeable and personable. Started out as learners. Zac made us feel really safe and we gained heaps of confidence throughout. Recommend this tour to anyone that likes fun.
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.
We found this to be a very awesome experience, our driver was entertaining and kept up the thrills. Very beautiful river.
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.
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.
Highly recommended...we got s cheap package deal for both jet boat and clay shooting. Great fun and awesome hosts. With friendly staff.
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
Awesome experience, friendly staffs Amazing guard tour who is following tight with health and safety instructions with nz driving rules. Keep all travellers safety on this quad bike experience 👍
Absolutely awesome, guides were funny and gave us some really interesting facts about the place
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 ??
It was so easy to book and then the jet boat place kept in contact, the best activity
excellent and exciting fun ride session. highly recommended to anyone coming to Hanmer Springs. The whole experience is about 2 hrs long, around 15km. Totally worth the fee and time! A must do. (there is a 10min rest and water/cookies time before doing the return journey - a very thoughtful of the Company, thumbs up!) May be the Company could do a 1 hr ride session, as 2 hrs ride can seem a little long for some, for those who just wanted to have a quick experience or do not have 2 hrs to spend. Hence you have the opportunity to capture more customers (that are willing to try a cheaper 1 hr session). Thanks so much for the great ride session and the photos!
We had a fantastic time experiencing our first-ever jet boating adventure. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time! Great activity for the family while in Hanmer.
Such a fun experience! Our guide Josh was great, and suited our trip to our skill level perfectly, the scenery is stunning and the bikes are of great quality. I fully recommend the experience, we will go again - make sure you wear older clothes/shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy
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.
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.
We had a great time on the quad biking tour, the tour leaders explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable before heading out on the track. The river crossing's were the highlight of the tour.
Good and experienced driver. Will definitely do it again ???
It was great worth for money 100% .Bery nice people .
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.
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.
The girls and I had a funtastic day on a jet boat. Recommended
It was a wonderful experience. I would love to try bungy and rafting next time.
We really love it!
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. 🚤💦
What an awesome experience this is. Had the best time and loved the jet boating so much.
Great morning with a fantastic host. More than just a jetboat, it was informative & educational. Loved it & will be back!!
Awesome experience, great guide our whole group had a blast!!
It was fantastic
