If you are travelling from Nelson down the west coast, a bit over half way to Reefton is Buller Canyon Jet, but more than this there is the amazing swing bridge, and the chance to try your hand at gold panning. Mark was amazing as he took us down, then up the pristine mighty Buller river. Not just thrills and spray, a little low speed cruising to take in the breathtaking beauty of this seemingly untouched forest. It felt like a trip with a friend rather than a commercial tourist activity.
The river itself reminded me of Straun in Tasmania. I haven’t been to Queenstown yet, but I suspect I’ve already had the best jet boat experience in NZ.
Wow your review blew me away what a special description of our river thank you so much ,your friend Mark
What an amazing experience! We absolutely loved it! Mark is an amazing skipper, warm and welcoming and loads of fun! The 360 spins were epic! The boat's power and Mark's skills were really impressive! He also has a deep appreciation for the river, which he shared with us. Large doses of adrenalin peppered with serene floating! We would do it again...and again...and again!
far out !!! cool review thanks alot I'm very lucky to be able to share such a lovely part of NZ, go well- Mark
We had such a fantastic jet boat trip up and down the Buller river with our skipper Mark. Beautiful river and gorge and fabulous locsl knowledge of river and gold mining history. Had a lovely walk afterwards and visited gold miners cottage . Highly recommended and a must do for anyone either visiting or living in NZ- awesome fun! Enjoyed 360 turns and getting wet . Thanks again to Mark.
Glad you enjoyed so much our beutifull area and hope you have many more happy memories of your holiday Cheers Mark
Seriously Good. Spins Spins and Spins. Lots of different spots with different history. Enjoyed going upstream on the waves.
And you will get on to the swing bridge for free
Thanks Mate never have to many spins ,happy travels BCJ
Our campsite lady - Linda from Riverside, recommended Mark and his jet boat experience to us. We are so glad she did! We had a thrilling time doing 360 degree spins, bumping through white water and even floating peacefully about.
We would certainly recommend this trip to anyone seeking a bit of an adrenaline kick.
I even came away with a tiny speck of river gold!
So glad you took Linda's advice to join us on the Buller and enjoy the Many moods of this fantastic River but oh oh watch out you don't spark another gold rush ,All the best Mark
It was a rainy day and the office was closed for the day due to bad weather but we'd been told not to miss this experience and as we were only in town for one day, we telephoned the owner Mark and he opened up for us on request. We found Mark to be a friendly, fun, safety conscious guy who took our family of 4 on a fabulous personalised jet boat adventure. We were his only clients due to the weather on that day and his service went above and beyond, with Mark being very generous with his time on this quiet day, giving us twice the amount of time on the river than our 40 minute allocated ride time. He tailored the trip to our needs sharing the beautiful, unspoilt natural beauty of the area with us and the waterfalls were running nicely in the rain. You're going to get wet anyway so I'd recommend you take a trip on the Buller Canyon Jet regardless of the weather. You'll be very glad you did.
Cheers for the lovely review Jacki and i'm glad if I can help make your experience special for you and youir family , All the Best Mark.
P.s if the rain is to hard we sometimes cancel due to safety
