Depart from the heart of Queenstown, climbing aboard a big yellow jet boat at the Main Town Pier. Enjoy the acceleration and exhilaration of a high-powered twin engine jet boat as you shoot across the crystal clear Lake Wakatipu.

On the Kawarau River, ride the twist and spins as you race past rocks and under bridges at speeds of up to 95kph.

Grip tightly to heated handrails and experience full 360° spins as you go! The adrenalin rush intensifies as you race up the shallow channels of the narrow Shotover River, in water that can sometimes be only centimeters deep.

After 43-kilometers of pure adrenaline, return safely to the Pier for a complimentary view from Queenstown Underwater Observatory. View and purchase the photos and videos from your trip before getting up close and personal with fascinating rainbow trout and lake life.
