Richard Dalby said... We had an absolute blast on the Kawarau River ride with Thunder Jet Queenstown! We took our two kids, aged 5 and 8, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and exciting. A huge shoutout to our driver, Pedro, who was fantastic. He was incredibly professional, handled the boat with expert skill, and made sure everyone on board felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire journey. It’s not always easy to find an activity that keeps both the adults and the kids thoroughly entertained, but this was a total hit for the whole family. The scenery through the lake and river was amazing, and the adrenaline-filled spins and speed were just the right amount of thrill. We really appreciated how Pedro balanced the excitement with safety, ensuring we all had a fantastic time without any stress. If you are looking for a fun, action-packed family activity in Queenstown that is managed by a top-tier team, we couldn’t recommend Thunder Jet highly enough. We’ll definitely be back next time we are in town!
