- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

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.

What travellers are saying
- John WSydney, Australia11 contributionsWe had a fantastic trip with Andre up the Dart River! Andre was a great guide and really made the trip enjoyable for us! It was fantastic to experience the national park from the river as well as having a bit of fun on the jetboats! This was definitely a highlight of our time in Queenstown and Glenorchy!Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mel C6 contributionsI loved every minute of this trip. If you love the outdoors and want to immerse yourself in the beauty that is the Dart River then this is a must do.
The scenery is stunning combined with the adventure of the funyak being guided down the river offers a full day of fun in nature.
Highly recommend.Written 16 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sue gave us a rundown on the area whilst commuting us to the drop off point with Ben our skipper. Ben has a connection with the bird life and wilderness area whilst thrilling us with his boating skills over a 40 kilometre trip on the river. We had a fantastic time thanks Deidre and Bryan BurrellWritten 5 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adam ACanberra, Australia3 contributionsA sensational ride up and down the Clutha River with Michael. We had a group booking of ten Aussies which made the ride even more enjoyable. Michael is extremely skilled and is able to point his Jet boat in any direction, including complete 360 turns. For any thrill seekers this ride is a must. Michael is also very knowledgeable about the local history and was able to share many facts about the river, local Wanaka area and New Zealand. Thank you so much Michael and Amber.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Donna GStamford, CT58 contributionsOMG. We had a perfect day for flying, hiking, and jet boating. The staff is wonderful and helpful for apprehensive travelers. Flight on 4 seater (1 pilot, 3 guests) was stunning (about 20 min). The pilot takes off from the office area (grass runway), narrates the flight into the valleys/mountains, and lands on a grassy area next to a stream. The walk/hike across the stream is less than 5 minutes - the level is dependent upon rain (it was over my knees, but I'm short). We arrived a day after heavy rain so it was quite fast and wide. You need water shoes/sandals (get at the office before the flight if you didn't bring them) and recommend hiking poles - it is slippery and the water was strong. Did I mention it is also COLD? The second adventure is hiking out - we are slow and it took us about 3 1/2 hours (counting a lunch stop). The first part is through a meadow-like area (gradual incline), 2nd part is in the forest and there are some steep parts (not long and not that steep), and the 3rd part is downhill to the water again (this was slippery and long; hiking sticks well worthwhile). You end up in a meadow-like area by the water. LOTS of sandflies!!! Then the jet boat comes (ours held 11 and the driver) and a cool ride until you get back to the starting area. You may get wet. This was our last excursion in NZ after 3 weeks and it was outstanding.Written 11 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nicky G1 contributionSuper fun adventure. Greeted by the lovely Tracy, we stepped on board our 1st jet boat. Captain Pat was friendly and experienced and we were in great hands as he powered us up and down the mighty Clutha river, skirting the edges and exhilarating 360s.
My 16yo son LOVED it. An awesome experience all round. Highly recommend A+++++Written 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
