Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jetboat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.

Great fun took the kids along 4 and 5 years old. Nice staff and an awesome deal
First time Jet boat riding,the rails are heated so no gloves are required bonus.Ben was very thorough with safety checks from the beginning to end.We sat second to back row highly recommend as you can get soaked.Did a few 360 spins,super fun and awesome adrenaline.Ben always checked in after each spin and spoke about key land marks.Our driver was friendly and smiled all the time.Highly recommend KJet to anyone.
Went on Wednesday, the staff are so friendly. Love how we do short pit stops where they share a bit of history and the area around us. not forgetting also checking on everyone as well. Love love the spins.
Great experience as the staff was nice and friendly. Our boat driver was good with safety. Overall superb experience if you are in Queenstown.

Our driver (lockie) i think his name was. He was awesome! Even though it was raining it was still so fun! 10/10 reccomended. I originally booked for 2pm but there was a chance they it may not go out due to not enough people, so I was greatful that they rung and offered me a different time.
