This has to be one of the most enjoyable activities we have ever done as a family. It is also very good value, considering you get a shuttle to and from your accommodation plus more than an hour of absolutely fantastic high-speed jet boating through some seemingly impossibly shallow river. We twisted, turned, sometimes 360 degrees, we did a nature... More

This would be the most comprehensive jet boat trip I have been on. Well worth it and the mountains covered in snow above the river look spectacular

what a great afternoon. not just a jet boat ride. Brent is such a lovely guy with so much knowledge to share about the history and surroundings, obviously very passionate about the environment. The trip included a walk with a short climb up to a waterfall. The jet boat and turns were exhilarating. Brent must know every inch of the... More

A jetboat ride was not on our list but we thought we would get more adventurous as our holiday would soon be over, on the recommendation of our B & B host we decided to give it a go. This was one of the best decisions we made. It was a lovely day, James explained the journey to us and... More

We are not thrill seekers but wanted to experience a jetboat. I had read some forums and thought Wanaka River Journeys fitted the bill as they also included a walk in their itinerary. We booked our place with Scott from the i-site in Wanaka and he said how awesome this trip would be. We were picked up from the middle... More

Jetboating was not part of our initial itinerary but another activity was cancelled and we were advised to try it with WRJ. It was a real fun and exciting as this was our first experience of such a kind. Apart from the Jetboating itself you will have amazing scenery around and the river (Matakitaki) is very nice itself. In the... More

We went with Wanaka River Journeys last week on vacation. They are fantastic. "Jet Boat James" was our guide for the day and he provided us a very good tour. We had a fun trip up the river, stopping a few time for some scenic views and information on the area and what we were looking at. Took a short... More

A seriously fantastic experience for our party of four. We'd missed the Shotover jet boat in Queenstown due to flooding on our last visit to NZ in 2002. We weren't going to miss out again! This Wanaka operation is very well run and managed. Amazing scenery. Great boat. Our tour leader was a chap called James and he was excellent.... More

I have been on many jet boats over the years from the bay of islands , waikato river , shotover and the saint lawrence river rapids in Montreal , and i can say without a doubt, that if you want a jet boat experience that is better than the rest and really gets to the heart of what these boats...
