Arrived thinking the rain could cancel our Jet boat ride. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Rain stopped so time to go. OMG what a fantastic experience!!! So much fun, couldn't stop laughing. Scary in parts as the "captain of the Jet Boat" was an excellent driver but gave out hearts a scary flutter :) I recommend this ride 110%. You come off saying you want more and we will certainly be back again for sure. Thank you for the pictures, they will bring back the happy, fun, scary, soaking wet memories of the ride. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GOLDFIELDS JET. ?????? p.s. take a spare set of clothes, you will get soaked !!!!
It is definitely right up there for scenery, service, Driver and staff friendliness. We are a local family and tried them all and I would say thats it the best ride and the biggest bang for your buck. Just have to travel a bit further. It was awesome all round. we loved the experience. Well done team and thanks heaps
Buenísimo! Muy divertido, todo perfectamente organizado! Lo recomiendo.
Amazing
Highly recommend. Self guided tour, fabulous presentation around gold and finished with gold panning. Great experience, the whole family loved it! Arrive early, it talked around 3 to 4 hours to enjoy the day. Thank you, we absolutely loved our visit here!
We found this gem on bookme. And so glad we decided to tiki tour to go there. From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted by the lovely staff, the tour guide was engaging and informative. Our 1yr absolutely loved walking through the Chinese settlement. Lots to interact with and to end with panning for your own gold was awesome!
It was perfect! There were only 2 of us on the tour which they allowed us to go for the earlier slot although I was booked for 3pm. After we did the 1pm Jetboat tour we went straight on for the Tour. Sandy is a great Guide and it was so personal since just the two of us. At the end of the tour she taught us Gold panning and found us quite a large piece! I also did find one tinier piece on the 2nd round I pan myself..just our lucky day, really satisfied. Jetboat was really awesome too! worth the drive out. these bookme deals are great not only did we saved but got our monies worth!
First time on a jet boat for all of us. What an amazing experience. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole journey. A well run tourism spot with a variety of things to do. Our driver was a lot fun and gave some of us a good soaking ?and a brief history into the area which was very interesting. We look forward to doing it again on our next trip back to Queenstown
Good selection of car's in nice environment,nice cafe and pleasant staff
Putting warm greetings and theprofessional pilot aside, the ride is an amazing experience and the view would just wow you. Considering the price, the ride is longer than expected and it definitely worth it!
This was a fantastic experience to do. The team were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The information and knowledge during the flight was great. I enjoyed the view. We were particularly blessed as there was a little snow left, and we got to play in it on our landing.
Great experience, as one of 4 passengers and the pilot, Richard. Very well organised with ours delayed 24 hours due to the weather and continuously updating with status updates. The Flight itself and then alpine landing were both great! Highly recommend! Thank you :)
It was really a great experience. The actual time we booked was 1115H but it was so foggy but thanks to them that they have adjusted the time so that we could really see the view. And the staff were so accommodating and they really update you time to time by calls and messages. Easy transaction with them. We did enjoy it?.
Service was great, ride was smooth, landing views were to die for! Thank you and would definitely recommend!
THE BEST experience both my wife and I.It's the 3rd time we had our vacation in QT, and I did lots of comparison due to she is 5 months pregnant and I wanted to give her the best memory this time. It's definitely the right decision I hv to say. The assistant Jolanda was extremely kindness and enthusiasm.She recommended the date which could have a fascinating feeling and keeps following the forecast of the weather for us. The helicopter was particularly beautiful and it gets windows everywhere so each seat could all have a fantastic sight of view even in the middle seat. The pilot was super!He keeps introducing the enormous landscape both back and forth of the flight. Book without hesitate.
One of the best experiences of our lives, everything was absolutely incredible. Richard & Jolanda are extremely kind, accommodating & professional, they are the best in the region! I would do the trip again in a heartbeat and highly recommend this trip!
A trip well worth it with a fabulously friendly husband and wife team at the helm. Yolanda and Richard have first class personalised service and made us feel like very valued clients.
Best couple to deal with...made it work in the time available ....more than delivered on the experience...interesting commentary and the geography...ultra safe operators ..and hot chocolate on a mountain top in the snow! Definitely going again.
Good to try!
An experience not to be missed!
I couldn't recommend this experience any more highly. From start to finish the communication was exceptional, going out of their way to help arrange transport & new timings when the bad weather set in. A must do experience in this area and no better company to do it with
Richard and Yolanda provided an incredible experience. This is not to be missed!
Great experience on our one year wedding anniversary!
being life time locals decided to give as a gift to hubby he and my daughter they just loved it ,friendly helpful fun staff ,would recommend to any one weather you are a local or just passing through crowmell
Well informed - Great Thrill Ride - Be prepared to get a wee bit wet - But it's only Water - We had a Ball - Wrap up warm in the Cooler Months
First time on a jet boat. Awesome experience. Our driver was a lot fun and pretty, and a brief history into the area which was very interesting. My group keep talking about it for days about it. Picture will describe your feeling
Cam and Shaun are very friendly, professional and really know their stuff. My group of 6 from Australia, Denmark, New Zealand and Canada thoroughly enjoyed this exciting adventure and highly recommend this company and tour. Well done guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
