    Serenity in a hidden place

    Loved the diverse scenery and changing landscapes as well as the delivery of information and great customer service given. Also good to see that some passengers had done it a year ago & wanted to share it with family. The Haast area is an enhancing place indeed. Thank you team at Wayne's Waitoto Jet Boat Safari!!

    The best

    This was just the most wonderful ride in a jet boat. It was not about thrills, it was about traveling to the head of the Waiatoto River and seeing nature in all it's glory. Absolutely stunning scenery along the way. Expertly skippered by Wayne, he gives great commentary about the river and its surroundings. This trip really showcases the West Coast area. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Incredible journey in magnificent country

    I'd been to NZ many years before and did the backpack 'thing' and, of course, I went on a jet boat ride and did crazy stuff, however I didn't go on a jet boat ride like this one. What sets Ruth and Wayne's operation aside from all the other operators out there is their interaction with their customers. Ruth's helpfulness and Wayne's knowledge (intertwined with some good dry humour) really do make the difference. The safari is a decent half day taking in some incredible sights and history. You really do see it all from the 'off the beaten track' bush to the busy banks stuffed with whitebait fishermen. Incredible value for money. I'd recommend this trip to anyone visiting.
