Fantastic, wet and wild jet boat ride

Review of: Queenstown Jet Boat Ride on the Shotover & Kawarau Rivers

So much fun!

Review of: Queenstown Jet Boat Ride on the Shotover & Kawarau Rivers

Such an awesome trip! So easy to access too (right in the centre of town). The staff are great and the under water viewing at the end of the trip is super cool! Definitely recommend doing a trip with KJet!

Best fun! Thank goodness for the heated 'oh sh*t' bar, I clung on to it the whole time, but looking at the photos and video, smiles all round the entire time.

Fast and Fun!

Even in wintertime it’s a great thing to do in Queenstown! I did it together with my 13-year old son and we enjoyed the ride very much! Loved the 360°- spins

Marisa D

Is it best to book this in advance or can I do that when I get there? If so, is a day or two in advance good enough or do they sell out quickly?
