Queenstown Explore New Zealand, Australia & Fiji!tune
Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Highlights
- Amazing one hour jet boating experience along the Kawarau & Shotover rivers
- Travel at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep
- Experience exhilarating 360 degree spins - what jet boats are renowned for!
- Travel 45 kilometres and soak up the diversity of stunning Queenstown landscapes
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.

Fun
Good experience to see lake & lower end of shot over It wasn't as scary as expected - pretty tame but the views were spectacular & very family friendly.
