It was really fun. We enjoyed it! This is our 2nd time trying this. Pedro was good too, loved his playlist.
Great experience, Petro was amazing! Thank you for a great time
On a beautiful sunny day we went on a boat tour with Chris. First over lake Wakatipu, then on 20+ km on the Kawarau river. We passed the impressive cliffs along the river, and made some 360 degrees turns, and some seemingly near hits of trees and buoys, exciting! We went past the Shotover river, possibly because it was too shallow this time of year.
My partner and I had so much fun jet boating for the first time and would highly recommend the experience to anyone else! Our driver was clearly very experienced and informative and everyone at the company was friendly and helpful throughout the entire activity. If you have time, definitely book the 1 hour experience! You won't regret it.

Awesome Engaging Experience
Best jet boat experience with thunder jet, engaging, fun and interactive. Highly recommend. I had used an alternate service provider in 2021 and must admit this experience in 2026 was so much better overall. Thank you Thunder Jet!
