Wanaka River Journeys
Kia ora, we're Ruth and Johnny, the owners of Wanaka River Journeys. Johnny has 10+ years experience driving jet boats and has lived in Wanaka for the past 20 years. Ruth was an ecologist in her previous life but has worked in the tourism industry on and off since 2012.
Wanaka River Journeys has been operating since 2005 and we pride ourselves in offering real experiences to people. We incorporate conservation, māori culture and local knowledge into our trips to offer customers a unique experience. It's not a jet boat or packraft ride, it's an experience, it's a River Journey.
