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.
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!
Guide was great, even better they were happy to take just the two of us out.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Took daughter and son in law and enjoyed the thrill of the speeding zig zagging boat but also the spectacular scenery of rushing water down a gorge with rocks rising steeply on either side, opening up to views of snow capped mountains in the distance.
A must do in Hanmer Springs! Grear value for money. Friendly and knowledgeable driver. Will so do it again. Real thrill Aye
Such a fun experience! Our guide Josh was great, and suited our trip to our skill level perfectly, the scenery is stunning and the bikes are of great quality. I fully recommend the experience, we will go again - make sure you wear older clothes/shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy
Wow, what an amazing experience. The guide was fantastic. They provide gumboots and overalls, along with all safety gear. After the group was familiar with the bikes and confident we were off!!! Along the way we stopped for a hot chocolate and biscuits. I would absolutely recommend this and will be back.
The actuql jet boating and staff were fricken awesome. Was smiling ear to eat the whole time, part way through I actuqlly had to stop smiling as my cheeks got sore. Only thing that tained the experience was the hill/driveway that we had to walk down and up to get to and from the jet was a bit of a let down. Actual jet boat experience was awesome, but the in and out kind of took away some of the enjoyment, even just a trailer or tractor would do to take people up and down :)
We had a fantastic time experiencing our first-ever jet boating adventure. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time! Great activity for the family while in Hanmer.
The Staff are very friendly I even left my action cam and went back to Christchurch but they assisted me right away how it can be delivered to me right away. The experience was awesome! I thought its just going to be a normal jet boat ride not until the driver did some really tricky manoeuvre and 360 spins but we felt safe the whole ride because the driver never failed to remind us what to do and not to do. Even though it was gloomy the view was still amazing. I woudl definitely bring my family next time so they too can experience this awesome adventure.
This was a fabulous experience. I booked for our family and close friends for my 50th birthday amd it was a high lite of our weekend in Hanmer. Our driver was calm and made us feel assured of our Safety and funny and informative. Beautiful ride with thrills along the way. Photo to purchase at the end. My husband had been on the jet boats in Queenstown but said this was way more beautiful river and scenic.
We had a great time on the quad biking tour, the tour leaders explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable before heading out on the track. The river crossing's were the highlight of the tour.
The staff were very friendly, and I even got picked up from town to the main office, the driver even stopped so I could take a photo at the lookout. The driver and assistant of the jetboat were awesome, friendly, patient. I had an amazing time, it was fun and thrilling and beautiful, would love a job doing this kind of thing, I would definitely use this company again for any more adventures. And reccomend them on social media to any keen adventurers. Thank you for an awesome time. Made my day.
We had a fantastic morning out on the Jet Boat with Darryl. The ride was awesome and we saw some pretty cool scenery along the way. Darryl is a great bloke with a good sense of humour, and an awesome Jet Boat pilot! Thanks for a great experience - a definite highlight of our trip.
So much fun especially for a first time rider, easy to learn and such a thrill.
The staff are fantastic. Each one had spunk, personality, humour and down to earth. We probably would of liked a 5 minute down time in between each activity tho as we didn't get a chance to catch our breath after the hirendous walk back up the hill. You guys should get a little trailer for one of the quads and drive people up and down. An extra thrill haha. Thanks for an amazing day team ??
We really love it!
Good and experienced driver. Will definitely do it again ???
Not only was our driver awesome but the experience itself was amazing. Thrill ride and a half was absolutely Awesome!
Riding a quad bike through rugged riverbeds was an amazing experience.
Highly recommended...we got s cheap package deal for both jet boat and clay shooting. Great fun and awesome hosts. With friendly staff.
Really had an awesome time on the Jet Boat! It was a very scenic ride down and up the river! You might get a little wet so highly recommend taking a rain jacket. And clay target shooting was really awesome! Had a great time with friends and family! highly recommend you book this adventure when you're in Hanmer Springs!
It was a wonderful experience. I would love to try bungy and rafting next time.
Great morning with a fantastic host. More than just a jetboat, it was informative & educational. Loved it & will be back!!
Awesome experience, friendly staffs Amazing guard tour who is following tight with health and safety instructions with nz driving rules. Keep all travellers safety on this quad bike experience 👍
It was fantastic
