What To Expect

Begin your tour at our office to get fitted for your bike and helmet plus a spray coat and life jacket. Take a short bus ride to the boat ramp where you'll board the boat with ease thanks to convenient ramps. After a short safety brief it's time to hit the water! Travel down the Upper Waiau River with crisp air rushing by, crystal-clear waters below and stunning views all around. Pause along the way to learn about the area and it's rich history, have some laughs, spot trout, re-imagine Lord of the Rings from 3 film locations and listen to native birds as your driver quiets the engine. Enjoy plenty of photo opportunities plus high-speeds and spins - which are great fun for all! Emerge onto Lake Manapouri and embrace the silence while surrounded by towering mountains and a view that will leave you speechless. Disembark into the National Park for a short guided nature stroll among native flora and fauna. Jump back in the boat and head back up river for more FUN! Back at the boat ramp your bike will be waiting to travel the designated cycle trail 10km/7mi along the river's edge back to Te Anau's town centre. The trail is well-formed and just requires a moderate level of fitness.

An impromptu wander along the lakeside had me contemplating hiring a bike for the day… I stopped in at Fiordland Jet & was given options including a jet boat ride! I came back just in time to snag the last spot in the boat for the 2pm journey. I did not regret it. The team were super helpful & friendly and conditions were great on the lake! A few spins, some splashes and some added history about the area, thanks to expert driver Andy - A natural skipper out on the water! Alex also joined our boat & added some laughs and bonus facts/ knowledge about the flora and fauna on the Kepler Track (you can tell she is passionate about the environment & conservation). Money well spent and an enjoyable afternoon! Making me feel much less sad about being unable to hike the Kepler Track.

My husband and I had a brilliant time both out on the jet boat and cycling back to Te Anau. Shaun our boat diver and guide was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. We especially appreciated his Kiwi sense of humour. The river and lake are so beautiful. Highly recommend

Thank you John and Lucy at Fiordland jet Te Anau for giving us an incredible experience in one of the worlds most pristine untouched environments . From the warmth in your original welcome you made us feel at home with your kindness and care . John, you are one of the greats ! Your knowledge of your land was second to none , and your enthusiasm for a cheeky jet boat spin was wonderful . This experience , coupled with a stunning mountain bike return to Te Anau is firmly in my recommended top 5 must do when in NZ . Folks , forget the red boats in Queenstown, get yourselves down to Fiordland Jetboat and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience of a lifetime .
So much fun

This was awesome. Jet boat thrills were fantastic but also loved the small tour of the Kepler track and being in the middle of lake manapouri with the jet boat engine off and not another soul around was just magical. Did the e-bike as well and those e-bikes are next level - so easy to use and great experience riding through the trees. Loved it
