Your Trip - Jet, Walk, Heli
Jet Boat
Showcase
Exciting Jet Boating on the Matukituki River, the most spectacular glacier fed river in the Queenstown region. The winding and ever changing waters of the Matukituki flow just centimetres deep past towering mountains and waterfalls, Lord of The Rings film locations and fantastic birdlife.
Feel the wind in your hair onboard Wanaka River Journey's purpose built jet boats. Like rally cars on water our jet boats use sliding turns and speeds of up to 80kmph to navigate this shallow and braided river system. This is a jet boating sensation like no other with the only jet boat company to see Mount Aspiring and her Glaciers.
