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.
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!
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.
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!
The jet boating & quad bike deal thru treat me? 10/10 the whole experience, the jet boating was exciting Chris made it such a primo experience! Luckily enough we also got chris for the quad biking and it was so cool, we went thru water got wet and laughed our arses off LOL! Our team was so cool we were all so happy in the van ride back! If you’re thinking of doing it GO! Such a cool experience Ngā mihi Nui! Chris bro thank you so much your an asset to there team!
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.
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.
We found this to be a very awesome experience, our driver was entertaining and kept up the thrills. Very beautiful river.
The second time I have done this with this company & can't recommend it highly enough! Darryl our instructor was so patient & has a great sense of humor! The track was varied with super fun water crossings. From start to finish we had fun & can't rave enough!!
We had so much fun! Great for all ages...my son is 5yrs old and didn’t want it to end.
Totally recommended this experience to anyone weather you are a new zealander or a traveler, young or the young at heart. Put it on your list of things to do!
I went rafting while on my trip in Hanmer springs. It was outstanding from the team to the adventure. Our rafting coach was very friendly and interactive. The sights and history lessons were excellent. We were kept safe and enjoyed our experience. We had a great surprise at the end of our rafting trip! 10/10
Enjoyed the rafting experience with our 7 year old. The low grade rapids are safe for children to enjoy. For pro adult rafters, this might not be the best place. Christian was friendly and he took great care in explaining us about the river and the surrounding mountains. One disappointment was the photographs, we paid $40 for them, but none of them captured the action and it was too far away from the raft. I was expecting clearer and more better picture. I would recommend to not go for the pictures until advance go pro are being used.
What a fantastic thing to do in hanmer well worth it we will be back even if it's raining again
Unfortunately our raft guide had a injury. But he rung us super early. We had an amazing experience jet boating & whole team/staff was amazing- must do fun for all ages and will do again! - in summer. Thank you!!
best time ever
Nice relaxing float down the river. Beautiful scenery. Exciting ride back on jet boat.
Staff was friendly and excellent customer service. The rafting itself is fantastic, spectacular landscapes and the swimming is so relaxing ?? Keep it up pls
Took our son on this for his birthday. Couldn't wipe the smile off his face, great friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Great country, great views. The dust though 😩 yuck!
Enjoyment from beginning to end. Brendan was a great guide and made the experience memorable. Family of four had a blast. Going under trees and close to rocks with 360 degree turns was really cool. Thanks Amuri Jet ☺
The best jet boat ride so far we love it?
Thanks to brendon and the crew for a fantastic ride. Kids absolutely loved it and Havnt stopped talking about it. Highly recommend
Knowledgeable funny driver, great views add to this thrilling experience. Can’t wait to go back
Well worth doing. I’d never been on a jet boat and my daughter had a bad experience on a jet ski told the driver this he told us the best place to put her on the boat and made sure she was ok she loved it wanted to go again. All the staff and friendly and helpful well worth doing.
Enjoyed this whole experience provided by a very down to earth bunch. It began with the jet boat ride which took us 20kms down river. (The access to the jet is very steep so may not be suited to people with limited mobility ) Then the 2 hour quad bike experience which covered some varied terrain. I loved the quad bike, very easy to operate. Great for blowing out the cobwebs.
Wow, what a blast. We had such an awesome time. It was a perfect day. Our driver gave us some really cool information about the fault lines that could be seen up the river and some little bits of history when we stopped. Mixed in with lots of at speed twists, turns and full circles it was an awesome experience.
We really enjoyed the ride Staffs were so welcoming Best ride ever A+++
What a great experience, really enjoyed the landscape and guide was great. Look forward to returning 😊
Must go alots of fun in ?
Thoroughly enjoyed our jet boating. Would recommend this to everyone.
Despite being very nervous about rafting before the trip, I really enjoyed my time! It's a great way to experience rafting as well as the exhilarating jet boat ride back! The trip started off cloudy but the weather cleared by the end and we also had great views of the surrounding scenery.
