Jet Thrills

Shallow twisting streams, turquoise blue water, swaying broom - the mighty Waimakariri River has it all.
Jet Boating is a truly unique way of seeing the Waimak’s lower braided river system. Constantly changing and ever challenging. The Jet Thrills drivers speed and spin in water sometimes only centimetres deep. Our three Hamilton Jet boats make short work of the swift flowing river as it rushes from the Southern Alps to the sea.
