From Thunder Jet Queenstown - 1 Hour Jetboat Ride
Thank you so much for this amazing Review! We are so lucky here at Thunder Jet to be able to show people the beautiful views that Queenstown and Aotearoa have to offer. Mitch will be thrilled to hear you loved his music and what he has to say about our home. We hope to see you again soon!

Great fun
We enjoyed our time in the boat . Jess is a great driver and she is fun . It was cold out there “could not feel my hands at the end “ However the spins were fun but my wife and I felt a bits sick towards the end and wanted them to stop. More shard driving along the sheds would have been more fun . But overall great fun .
From Thunder Jet Queenstown - 1 Hour Jetboat Ride
Love this review—thanks for the laughs! 😄 Jess will be stoked with the shoutout! Sorry about the chilly hands and those extra spins sneaking up on you 🤪 but glad you still had a great time!

Thunder Jet Experience
I really enjoyed the ride, the driver is so cool and have a nice and loud music to enjoy the whole ride. I also appreciate that they give a space if you book in a group of 5 so me and my friends seat together in one row. I will definitely recommend this ride and will do it again next time. friendly staff as well. my 4yrs old daughter really enjoy this extreme activity, but because she gets bored easily she just sleep half way of the trip I found put so funny. few of advise go earlier than the booked time because we almost missed the ride as they leave on time.

Thanks so much! 😄 So glad you had a great time—and your daughter’s mid-ride nap made us laugh! 😂 Hope to see you all again for round two 🚀

Fabulous host, wonderful experience
I have fear of water, so never do any water activities but mannn i had so much fun. Couldn’t open my eyes for the first couple of 360 turns but after that it was all fun and games. It was the most enjoyable thing we did when we were in queenstown, would definitely recommend…
From Thunder Jet Queenstown - 1 Hour Jetboat Ride
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌊 We’re especially thrilled that you stepped outside your comfort zone and ended up having such an amazing time in Queenstown. Those 360° turns can be a little daunting at first, so it’s fantastic to hear it became the highlight of your trip! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again for more adventure soon!

Our Awesome Experience we will never forget
We had Mitch , he was wicked . It’s not just another tourist attraction. Been a Nz Māori. There was special beauty, from every corner.. The guided tour of the Mountains history, whakapapa it blew my mind. The water the thrill the boat wow. Hold tight and don’t underestimate it lol. The music just took it to another level. With current cost of fuel. If you are short for time you can explore the whole of Queenstown in 1 hr so worth every penny. Would highly recommend .
