Go with an open heart and you will learn from Brent's storytelling, and you will love the thrill of the wilderness and the ride on top of the water! The total experience was superb, we were awestruck by the views, the cultural perspective and the wilderness walk - not too taxing, but gives you more of a feel for the... more

From pick up at our accommodation to return the whole trip was well organised, personal and enjoyable. The jet boat ride was through stunning scenery and was not for the thrill seekers but more gentle enjoyment although Kelvin, our guide ensured we all got a little wet. The trip incorporates a short walk and Kelvin passed on his wealth of... more

felt I had to get straight on to trip advisor on our return from new zealand and tell all of you wanaka visitors not to hesitate in booking your river journeys experience. I can't begin to describe what a magical time my husband and I enjoyed, jet boating along the river in the very capable hands of Kelvin, our guide.... more

It a big compliment to say that this is the best adventure in Wanaka, and it is. When friends come to visit, it's the "must do" trip in Wanaka (and we go with them!). more

This was highlight of our trip to Wanaka...beautiful scenery, knowledgeable and passionate guides draw your attention to interesting things you might miss, jet you up the river with panache and the walk up to the Rob Rouy glacier is wonderful. Not too taxing...the end of the trail is a great picnic spot to watch the avalanches and admire the alpine... more

This was truly a superb trip - filled with fun, adventure and spectacular views. Wanaka River Journeys is the only company allowed to venture out on this river, so you can really appreciate the natural beauty of the area, without competing with other vessels. The scenery is just breath taking and Brent has a wonderful way of sharing with you... more

A fantastic journey into remote New Zealand with a great insight to local mythology and history of the surrounding areas. Added to this was the great jet boat ride and wonderful vistas that all made for a very memorable day in a beautiful place. Highly recommended for Kiwis and tourists alike. more

Sue and Brent are fantastic! This is a jet boat ride down the beautiful Matukituki River toward Mt Aspiring. The information on the area is superb. Brent is a great story teller and so knowledgeable and passionate. It isn't just a thrill ride, although thrilling at times yes, as it's the nature of jet boating over shallow water. It is... more
