About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 265susv0 contributionsThrilling —Don’t Miss it!We were traveling with Grand Circle Travel and the jet boat was an extra (paid) option, not included as part of our tour. I was so glad I opted to do this! My friend and I expressed some nervousness about our stomachs and all the spinning, so we and a few others were placed in the Stingray with Lex at the helm. He simultaneously showed us the most exciting and the least nauseating time! He asked us if it we were okay doing a couple of spins, which were awesome! We loved tearing through the water! The incredibly beautiful scenery in the calm lake Manapouri area provided a breathtaking counterpoint to all the thrill riding.The knowledgeable and always entertaining Lex stopped to point out a few spots where LOTR movies had been filmed. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and if anyone is considering it, I’d recommend it highly!Written September 9, 2024
- bouzaidanna0 contributionsOutstanding ExperienceI have used Fiordland Jet for many years now I find the Team + owners to be Outstanding Helpful Reliable Patient Safety conscious (which is a must) And fun Thanks to an amazing team My group absolutely lived their experience with you allWritten September 4, 2024
- M5646DAjackp0 contributionsMust do trip!The jet boat tour with John (the skipper) was the highlight of our NZ trip. John provided great and amusing commentary, drove the boat with such skill, and catered for people of all adventure levels. If you're nervous about how fast or rough it might be, don't be, John will make sure it's all within everyone's comfort zone. If you are an adventure seeker, you'll still have plenty of adrenaline and fun! This is a MUST DO in The Anou!Written August 30, 2024

- Adventure543192900580 contributionsMust do in Te AnauThe most incredible experience I have ever had, stunning surroundings paired with fun. Our bus driver, and John shared their wealth of knowledge about wild life, along with information about the mountains, rock formations and Lord of the rings views. Will definitely do this again. A treasure in Te Anau. Thank you to the whole team. Including the Mouse where we shared an end of trip drink and snax. Just an all rounded epic experience.Written May 12, 2024
- AnnetteC9500 contributionsAwesomeAwesome driver John. Very informative trip. Loved the lord of the rings references. Heaps of fun. Loved it. MUST DO !!!!Written April 26, 2024
- Geoff N0 contributionsAbsolutely outstanding!This was an absolute outstanding experience. John - our jetboat driver - was incredible. The support crew were so friendly and helpful. The actual jetboat ride was next level amazing. The commentary and stops along the trip make for some wondrous surprises. My wife was nervous about going on the trip as she hasn't spent a lot of time on the water, and she was concerned about the spins. Afterwards she made a point of telling John that he made her feel very safe; the anxiety was gone. She loved it! If this is the only thing you do in Te Anau - do this!Written April 21, 2024
- Z4753UIstephanies0 contributionsA Highlight of our Trip!!This was definitely a highlight of my trip with my sister. Our guide, Lex, was great, gave us plenty of opportunities to take photos, asked the group if everyone was comfortable doing some spins on the water, and shared so much knowledge of the park with us.Written April 18, 2024
- IncrementalTourist0 contributionsPerfect way to experience a perfect placeBest activity we did in New Zealand. The scenery was indescribably beautiful, and when the boat was stopped it was an amazingly peaceful experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful and our jet boat pilot, Lex, was the absolute best. He was very knowledgeable and obviously loves the area and was keen to show us its beauty. The 360 spins were fun and there was no deliberately getting us wet! I also loved that we got to go onshore at Cosy Nook and walk in the forest. Overall it was a great experienceWritten April 14, 2024
- Nuanne0 contributionsGreat experience on riding and spinning and a little trekking.Good experience! It is worth to come and has fun here. My captain is Lex.(not sure but you can see from the pic) is nice and friendly. Also he gave us time to take photos. However, on the jet you will be fine and be dry. My kids have fun and ask for more spin and more spin. Thank you for the great experience!Written April 14, 2024
- 129reecer0 contributionsStunning Views & Amazing ExperienceWe did the Jet boat trip experience, took about two hours. Was such a brilliant experience with our little trip to the lake on the bus, and then onto the jet boat. Such a stunning view, with lots of knowledge and facts about the lord of the rings, which I never knew was filmed there!!! Worth doing, and decently priced!Written April 12, 2024
- M8095CCgrahams0 contributionsAmazing staff and experienceJohn our driver was very professional and showed us the "hidden" areas not normally seen. The support team were very friendly and equipment provided was greatly appreciated. For us this far exceeded the Shotover Jet experience as far more rhan just speed and spinningWritten April 3, 2024

All staff involved in this business were very friendly and professional and we had a great experience, with the jet boat ride you experienced both fast spins and all scenery on offer along the Waiau River out into Lake Manapouri with a knowledgeable awesome driver, then a stunning bike ride back into town along side the river on a sharing walk/bike track… Highly recommend this trip. All the best Chris and team for the year ahead.Regards the Northlanders🤙🤙

It was the best jet boat ever (Moses 9yrs). For the rest us this was a true kiwi experience, a family experience for both us and the hosts- the host Chris was enthusiastic and generous and made a concerted effort regarding our security and comfort. John the boat driver was informative with a great sense of humour and made an effort to give the thrill seekers what they wanted but keeping us incredibly safe at the same time. The bike ride back to town capped off the whole experience riding along side the river under the shady trees. This oldie (69 yrs) who seldom rides a bike had great fun on the electric bike. A small company with great heart. Well done Fiordland Jets

Well if Moses said it... it must be true! Thank you so much - especially for the support. 'Oldies' like you are a joy to have on and shows age really is just a number and we're all young at heart - fun is good for everyone, and you can have fun and be safe!
So again thank you! Cheers

This activity is an absolute highlight and a must when in Te Anau. Adrienne and Chris are super friendly and made the whole trip so much fun. We were the only booking for the day and had a real treat of stopping wherever we wanted, having a yarn in the river and on Lake Manapouri. It also helped that we had a fantastic winter day - sunny and calm.
The boat trip was great - a few thrills and spins and then an e-bike ride back to Te Anau. Excellent! (And lunch was good too)

A fantastic trip. John and Abby went above and beyond- delaying the morning trip to give clouds a chance to depart and to give us time to cycle up to meet the boat. Very accommodating, generous and wonderfully outgoing people. A perfect way to begin a holiday in Te Anau. The jetboat ride was a great combo of thrills (no spills),some fun local and lortr trivia and jaw dropping scenery. Would highly recommend, especially to visit lake Manapouri, which is stunning from the water! Thanks so much guys for a great and memorable day!

Thank you! Sometimes the weather gods don't play ball, but we'll be darned if we don't try everything to get the ideal trip in regardless. So pleased we could share such a special area with you! Cheers

Clear blue sky. 25°. We did the bike and jet combo. Adrienne in the office sorted us out with bikes – bubbling with enthusiasm, honest and encouraging. We rode from Te Anau town to Waiau river boat ramp on Lake to Lake trail. Chris was our boat driver. The quintessential southern man. Handled a boatload of Kiwis holidaymakers (no foreign tourists – this is Covid) superbly. A consummate professional. Manapouri scenery stunning. Great value for money. Would definitely repeat. A must do while you are in Te Anau.

A great afternoon out! Lex took us out on the boat down the river to Lake Manapouri, stopping along the way to tell us some of the history of the area and show us Lotr filming locations. While it was still in the colder months, we were not cold as warm clothing was provided. After the boat we cycles back to Te Anau along the lake 2 lake track. Worth it!

Superb jet boat trip In awesome scenery. As Lord of the Rings fans, it was great to spot various locations used in the film.
We were impressed by how long we got on the water, and getting to keep the bikes for the rest of the day was great value. Nice touch to shout us a drink at the Moose Bar next door at the end.
Felt well looked after from start to finish by excellent , friendly staff. Good safety equipment and briefing. Nico our skipper was brilliant and the jet boating was really fun, but we also loved the little bush walk he gave us. He was so knowledgeable and we learned heaps.
Abi who sorted out our bikes ( good bikes, well maintained) gave us great advice about the extra bit of the trail we fancied doing. She was absolutely spot on.
We loved our experience so thank you Lindy for persuading us! We’ve done a few NZ jet boat trips before and have to say this is right up there and is most probably our FAVOURITE!! Highly recommend it - fantastic!

This is a must do. The jet boat ride is not crazy, but lots of funny. Scenery was spectacular. Lots of stops along the way for photos and information. The short forest walk was interesting and informative. The guide gauged the comfort level of the group when he did the spins in the boat and we all wanted more! I also recommend getting the bike and doing the longer ride. We had e bikes which I would highly recommend unless you are a serious cycler as it is hilly. But the views are amazing. All the staff were terrific.

Excellent scenic jet boat trip through stunning Lord of the Rings scenes. A brief walk on the Kepler (we’ll be back for that) then biking. Good bikes and helpful staff let us go well beyond the 10km suggested return trip to Te Anau. Instead we headed to Lake Manapouri and then back to Te Anau on Lake2Lake cycle trail, doing 46km total in beautiful surrounds. Perfect day’s adventuring :)
