Queenstown Jet 1-hour Jet Boat ride on Lake Wakatipu and Kawarau River

Charge across Lake Wakatipu with a jet boat ride like no other and a great thrill off the shores of Queenstown. You're in for a treat as your driver navigates through the shallow waters, past towering cliffs, and down the winding path of the Kawarau River.

Once you step onto the vessel, you're propelled out into untouched scenery that you can only access by watercraft. Check out the peaks of the Remarkables, the Kelvin Peninsula, and Cecil Peak as you race over the water at up to 55 miles per hour (90km/h). The power of your boat can lend itself to some great acrobatics, so hold on for the famous 360-degree spin.

Your expert driver can effortlessly handle Class V rapids and aims to give you an exciting ride with the maximum degree of fun; heighten the extraordinary adrenaline rush and get the perfect combination of natural beauty and artificial power.

Go Orange offers you an electric ride. Filled with speed, thrills and even more of those famous 360 degree spins. Hold on as we race faster than ever before down Lake Wakatipu and onto the beautifully scenic Kawarau River. Be sure to hold on to your hats as we navigate under bridges at speed and skim the river edges with precision.

Great for families, we can take as young as two years old.

Our experience is champion in the jet boat game and we can’t wait to give you the ride of your life.
