Get ready for the ride of your life on a one hour adventure, filled with world-famous 360 spins, skimming the water as we race across Lake Wakatipu and onto the historic Kawarau River!
Racing over Lake Wakatipu is one of Queenstown’s best-loved activities and we are here to deliver the goods.
Take to the water and get ready for the time of your life on an electric RealNZ Jet Boat ride filled with world famous 360-degree spins as you skim across the water of Lake Wakatipu.
With the mountains either side of you as you depart the bay, hold on, dig your feet in and feel the fresh spray of glacial lake water on your face as we set off on this adventure. You are entitled to the ultimate bragging rights on board the RealNZ Jet Boat as we stop for ample photo opportunities.
Be sure to hold on to your hats as we navigate under not one, but two bridges at speed and get you up close and personal with the lake's edge. Our boats are powered by twin VB engines, with an impressive 820 horsepower and we boast the furthest distance travelled on the lake with a whopping 47km covered.
We challenge you to delve deeper, go further than the average experience and Go beyond with us.
Our driver was safety focused but showed us a good time on the water! Recently recovering from a broken ankle but he helped me into the boat and made me feel secure. Choice views of the area you can't get anywhere else. Too bad we had a few people that didn't listen to the driver, and a translator for their group that was so loud we didn't hear much of the tour. Not GO Orange's fault though, keep up the great work guys!
Loved it and the driver was a comedian and very skilled at his 360’s

Heaps of fun
So happy with our choice and had a blast. Make sure you dress warm and get ready to get wet, especially if you are sitting on the side. If you get scared then there is an option to drop you off quite early in the ride and you can go and have a drink at the Hilton. You get picked up on the way back. I think it’s a great option instead of driver going easy on the whole ride because of one person. That’s what happened on our ride. One person got scared and got off and rest of us enjoyed the endless spins :) extra points for the fun driver.
