KJet Queenstown Jet Boat Ride on the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers
Overview
Available languages
Hang on during this thrilling Jet boat ride that travels at high speeds on two rivers, covering more ground with a longer time out on the water than similar tours in the region. Leaving right from the Main Town Pier in Queenstown, scream with delight as your jet boat zooms across Lake Wakatipu, spins in circles on the Kawarau River, and navigates the shallow waters of the Shotover River. Be prepared to have heart-racing fun on this roller coaster of a ride!

5.00It's a great fun time and you do get wet ha ha. You get to spend time on the river doing something that you wouldn't normally do. The shot over part is great fun
What a blast!

5.00Depending where you sit, you may get alittle wet, love the spins, amazing how close they get to the shoreline with the jet boats as they have a flat hull so they can go in shallow water.Bring a light jacket as can get alittle chilly.
Very enjoyable
