What you can expect

Experience 25 or 60 minutes of exhilarating adventure from the heart of Queenstown’s town centre. Jump on our Queenstown Jet for an adrenaline rush like no other.

Our jet boat rides are filled with speed, thrills and plenty of those famous 360-degree spins. Take in the stunning scenery with the wind in your face as we race across Lake Whakatipu and head down the Kawarau River. Our experienced drivers will get you up close and personal with the lake's edge, skimming past trees and any obstacles in the way. Be sure to hold on to your hats as we navigate under not one, but two bridges at speed.

Location

35 Shotover St, Queenstown, NZ 9300
