Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jetboat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.

This was the best experience ever! Definitely value for money with an hour of speed and laughter. Perfect for all ages seeking a thrill, beautiful scenery and a cool off. We went in Winter and it was chilly, so definitely rug up and wear water resistant clothing or a poncho!
Took the whole family on this ride. Exhilarating experience and good value for money. Well run operation with friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend this Queenstown experience to others.
Our whole family loved this... so well organised, amazing jet boat operator.. a thrill for sure but we felt totally safe the whole time. I would highly recommend, great value for money booking online!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the experience, we saw the two rivers, the driver was friendly and knowledgeable, we felt safe at all times while experiencing some thrills. If you sit on the outside of the rows, a waterproof covering would be well advised. It was a great way to see the rivers and more of Queenstown. Thank you.
