Firstly, your twin engine Jet boat roars across crystal clear Lake Wakatipu at breath-taking speed. You’ll be surrounded by majestic mountains and mesmerising scenery.

Then you zoom under the Kawarau Dam onto the deep green waters of The Kawarau River where we’ll take you for lots of 360° spins. Next the adventure heightens as your driver navigates the fast –moving currents of the narrow braided Shotover River.

Your Big Yellow will race up the shallow channels at speeds of up to 95km/h. All the while skimming across water that’s less than 5cm deep in places.

SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST We have a stringent safety, maintenance and risk management programme in place to ensure your safety. Driven by over 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated. We’re proud of our heritage as the world’s first commercial Jet boat operation.
