Unfortunately, the weather prevented us from doing the canoe and jet boat experience. We were able to do the jet boat experience and really enjoyed it! It was fun and exhilarating, but also very safe. We would highly recommend this excursion!

Beautiful views well run tour.John was a great driver of the boat and though I was nervous, ended up feeling very comfortable in his hands.2 hours flew by

John was our driver and he was great. He was very knowledgeable and personable. "We really enjoyed our spins with John." The weather was awesome. We highly recommend Dart River Adventures when your New Zealand.

Great 2+ hour jet boat ride up the Dart River! Pedro was exceptional, full of information and we were able to go pretty far up the River. Have already recommended Dart River Adventures to numerous people we have met. Highly recommend

10/10 on the fun meter. The drive to Glenorchy from Queenstown is picturesque, and if you have a car it is worth stopping in some of the bays. The jet boat up the dart river was a total blast through some of the most beautiful scenery in all of New Zealand. The funyaks were amazing to kayak through the rock gorges and back down the river. Staff was great and I felt like they were extremely well prepared to deal with any weather elements and committed to safety. This is a must-do, you will love it!

Had an amazing time even though it was very cold. I wore 5 layers. They provided a head wrap, rain jacket and life jacket. Be sure to wear something over your eyes, either glasses or goggles if you go during a time when the air is cold bc the cold wind blowing in your eyes makes them water and would prevent you from seeing the amazing scenery. It’s so beautiful. We had the best captain named Dean. He was personable and talked to us telling great stories and also history of the area. His driving skills are out of this world awesome. I would do this many times over .

We enjoyed an amazing trip along the Dart River with Pedro originally from Brazil but truly enjoying his new adopted life in NZ. The water level on the river was low but that did not deter from the ability to manoeuvre the boat through the various channels and rips as we weaved a path through the wilderness. The views were truly beautiful and could not have been experienced from the banks of the rivers. We finished up in a valley surrounded on all sides by sheer cliff faces and not another human being in sight. Pedro was very informative about local Māori culture and history about the surroundings which enhanced the experience. Highly recommend this activity if you are looking for an adventure filled with incredible scenery.

We turned up on spec and were able to join the afternoon trip. The staff were friendly and professional and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Andre was a brilliant guide with interesting facts about the area and a thrilling journey that was fast and exciting whilst always feeling safe.

We had a great time. The boat took us way up river and it was really cool going so fast over the shallow water. The scenery was spectacular and our guide was great! It was very helpful to have the bus pick us up and drop us off in town since the start of the trip is quite a ways out of town. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone looking to get out on the river and experience nature at its best.

Great experience all around! The staff was very responsive to my online queries before the trip, including a refund for one member of my group, and were great once we got to the pick up point in Glenorchy (we did the self drive option). The boat driver (I don’t recall his name!) was very competent and attentive to the needs of the passengers while on the river. Some people were good with more spins and speed, others not so much, so he did a nice balancing act with the adventure stuff while also educating us on our surroundings. Pictures cannot fully capture the beauty and scale of the landscape, but seeing it from a boat on the river was a fun and memorable experience.

A brilliant experience flying up the valley and finding places of real peace and beauty. Our pilot Daniel was great fun and clearly passionate for the area. Exciting and enervating. A must-do for Queenstown!

This is a MUST do! It is so much fun and the scenery is breathtaking. We will do it again and again. Worth every cent. And Andrew was the perfect guide. It was a blast!

The staff were helpful and welcoming, lots of interesting information on the way to Glenorchie and whilst on the jetboat. Daniel the guide/driver was lots of fun and kept us entertained. The scenery was spectacular.

Pedro, our guide, was amazingly informative and handled the boat really well. It was a fun morning on the river with beautiful scenery and an exhilarating boat ride

Great fun - we certainly got more than we expected. Our driver was a real comic which kept us all entertained. We travelled 40 km up stream and 40km back - with many spins along the way.
