Pat was a very skilled and knowledgeable pilot and we had a great time while learning some 'fun facts' about the Clutha and surrounds. Would absolutely highly recommend this to anyone up for an adrenaline rush. Thanks to Pat, Tracey and Gabi for making our time with Go Jets Wanaka full of fun and lots of smiles in a spectacular part of NZ.

Patrick and his crew were very experienced and made us feel comfortable and safe, while having fun. The boat was clean and well-maintained. Patrick was knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of good information. The scenery was spectacular and the water was crystal clear. Patrick’s knowledge of the water was impressive. It was the right amount of time and the perfect balance of thrill. Patrick obviously loves his work! We can’t recommend this experience enough! Do it!
