Our jet boat rides are filled with speed, thrills and plenty of those famous 360-degree spins.

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.Choose from a 25-minute or 1-hour experience and with a convenient departure right from the heart of Queenstown. After getting equipped with a life jacket, climb on board and experience exhilarating 360-degree spins, skimming the water at speeds of up to 95 km/hour.  Then, travel down the river where it is calmest, even when the lake is rough.
