Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did this boat trip today & because the lake was rough we drove with the boat 1ins up the road to get onto the river. Matt was brilliant, he drove the boat very competently and shared his local knowledge at relevant points along the trip. We rode close to the trees and did several Hamilton turns as well as riding fast over rapids and along the river. There were only 4 of us on the trip but we were made to feel very safe and welcome. I would highly recommend this boat trip to anyone staying in Wanaka.

My family booked the speedboat ride on a perfect spring day in Wanaka. Our captain/driver Sarah was outstanding. She was very informative and playful but we knew we were in safe hands. Thanks for a memorable and fun boat ride.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the jetboat on beautiful Lake Wanaka. Guide, Matt, was excellent. Our son (13) was reticent at first but when we got back to shore asked if we could go again 😁 Hard recommend.

Excellent trip for anyone looking for a unique adventure. Felt very safe and comfortable with Matt as our skipper/guide. Matt found a good balance between the thrill of jet boating and giving good local insight to the river and region. Certainly the best way to see the Clutha River. Highly recommend.

Very easy to find and gorgeous view. Stopped just one night. A little downgrade on the Top10 campsites we ahve been staying at. Could do with some upgrading of facilities. Internet is very poor. LAudry could do with card payment as noone ahd $2 coins.

Hi, what's your cancellation policy (for jet boat rides)? Couldn't find any info about this on your website.
