Johan does one of the best tours you can get and to honest needs to charge more for what you get. This exsperance was so much better then the Dart river boat trip that it was not even in the same ball park and to be honest that was fun but not even close to what they offer. If you want the quick I did a boat ride and move on it’s not for you but if you really want a experienc and learn something then please take the time and book with them.
Hi,

Had a fantastic day on the jetboat trip from Lake Hauroko and down Wairaurahiri river! Johan was a excellent "captain" and guide! The BBQ where also very good!
Awesome day!!
We walked back from Port Craig to Waitutu Lodge to connect with the W Jet Boat back up the river to Lake Hauroko...that track is muddy but the boat trip is very cool. Be sure to use this jet boat service if you are travelling on the river. The operators are experienced and knowledgable, and they also run other routes on Lake Hauroko
HI,
Thanks for your review. It is a shame about the track Johan and I will be forever trying to get the track upgraded. It's such a neat place its a shame the track lets it down.
Thanks again for your kind words.

From all the jet boats we saw, and we didn't like, because they make spinning trips and it must go fast, was this something totally different. Trip with the host Johan, who took time for his guests, to explain everything about the secret lake and island were there is a grave of some ancestors, this was all still on the lake, after this a rough ride in de boat over the river, where in the beginning you must get used to it, but it was like flowing over the river in a normal way, nice was the feeling that Johan has that much experience after all these years that you are not scared at all. Nice stop in the middle, in which Johan explained some things about the ancient forrest, very interesting. What even was better in the end, where you were at the sea, nice walk in the reserve, and a really terrific lunch from the bbq, excellent cook as well that Johan. Anyway, very, very worthwhile. All the best Johan, greetings from Holland Yvon en Gerrit.

I can't say enough good things about this experience, it was just fantastic. The scenery, the wild river ride, the beauty of the coast and the amazing views out to the Solander islands. Roffy is a great host who gauges the personality of his guests and tailors his commentary and trip to reflect their interests. Several times he stopped on the way to show me places of interest we had discussed and this really brings the day alive. A really memorable and enjoyable day. I think almost everyone would find this experience really worthwhile and this is wild New Zealand at its most raw. Just brilliant. Cheers again Roffy.
