Location

This exhilarating Hanmer Springs jet boat ride will take you on a high-speed adventure past the jagged cliffs, narrow gorges and white water rapids near Hanmer Springs. Hold on tight for the jet boating ride of your life through the famous Waiau Gorge near Hanmer Springs and Christchurch. This thrillseekers adventure activity will take you zooming past spectacular scenery as you weave and wind down the river, expertly twisting, turning, power braking and fishtailing for 40 minutes of pure jaw dropping fun!

The jet boat's powerful V8 twin engine allows incredible control with crazy spins and seemingly impossible tight manoeuvres on the river. This really is New Zealand jet boating at its very best – it’s the ultimate Christchurch jet boat adventure for adrenaline junkies!
