My husband is a non-swimmer, so was concerned about the 'Hamilton Spins' on the return boatride. We spoke to Nick about it and were assured that safety was their number one concern. We found that to be true when we arrived. The driver Robert was so nice and personally spoke to my husband prior to departing. Everyone was required to... more

This attraction was recommended by Lava Glass down the road as they thought it was greater value for money. We took the Waikato River jet boat ride combined with an hours walk around the thermal wonderland Orakei Korako. Great service with modern clean facilities. Ideally catered for families and smaller groups. A personalised experience where you can avoid the large... more

Fantastic trip. The trip has awesome scenery and is really balanced between excitement, history, a scenic park walk and spectacular surroundings. I did this trip with my small children and they had a blast. The concept of getting out and walking around the park at the halfway point is just great. Well worthwhile! more

RiverJet took us on a calm and informative 45min boat ride to Oraki Kurako up a river so still it was like glass with towering cliffs that had huge trees growing out the side of them. we learned alot from the guide including about the many Maori battles that took place around the river. Then we explored the park (and... more

One not to miss. A great trip on the jet boats, great scenery including thermal springs, steam rising up out of the river valley, raptors, herons, all sorts of wild birds to see, close up. Brilliinat spins and side slips in the jet boat, our driver was a competition driver on a boat that does 0 to 100mph in 2.5... more

Nick with Action New Zealand/Riverjet set up a wonderful day for four of us, including a van tour with Trent, a very nice guy and knowledgeable guide who took us to many "off the beaten path" geothermal spots in and around Rotarua, and the impressive Huka Falls. Our day also included the Riverjet boat ride with a stop at Orakai... more

NZ RIVERJOT WAS AMAZING!!!!! We went on 'The Squeeze' which is a senic tour up the river in the jet boat than you go into the thermal waters and slide and squeeze under and between huge rocks and end at a waterfall and on the way home you have a fast jetboat ride! it was the most fun we have... more

Just wanted to sing the praises of NZ Riverjet. We booked the 3 hour Thermal Safari. The thing that rang my bell was the combination - sure, jetboats are a hoot, and there are faster, bigger, more furious trips around I'm sure. What this company does is mix it up. You get a scenic tour of the Waikato and the... more
