Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jetboat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.
Spins soak you and then upstream against the freezing wind but it's all part of the experience.
Hi Lucky, Thanks for leaving a review, we appreciate all feedback. We are pleased you had fun on the trip. We do advise certain clothing to be worn by our guests depending on the season. As we are a water-based activity there can be a bit of spray from our 360° spins. We hope to see you again someday when the weather is warmer. Many thanks KJet Queenstown
Defo, jump on board this awesome trip, great for adults and kids alike… more time on the water than the others as well… just do it….
Hi Jamie, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for choosing to jet boat with us! We are very happy you had a brilliant time out on the water. It is a MUST DO and is great for families too! Many thanks, KJet Queenstown
We were excited and the speed and thrill was great however we were disappointed the recommendation was to wear puffs jackets only and no waterproof jackets supplied! My husband and 10 yr old son got so so drenched and spent most of the trip shivering and ending up soaking wet for the rest of our day in Queenstown. We consequently they both got sick. This was during winter.
Hi Caro, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are pleased you enjoyed the ride but sad to hear that you didn't have a 5 star experience with us. We do advise customers to dress to the conditions of the day as well as advertise ponchos to purchase before your trip. We hope we have the opportunity to take you out again during the summertime if you do return to Queenstown. Kind regards KJet Queenstown
Definitely not what I thought it was going to be like. Actually got a bit boring and the ride back was pretty much the boat just smacking up and down on the water so it was actually just really uncomfortable. The staff were really nice and friendly. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Rather boring and slow, definitely not how it’s advertised. The first 10 minutes were good but yeah don’t waste your money. Just slow and not it. But staff were super cool.
