Just do it!!! - Great experience thanks to our driver Amber. She was safety conscious and gave very interesting facts about the lake, river and local surroundings during the slow times on the boat. The many 360’s were lots of fun, and the close calls were exciting. Thanks for a highlight time in NZ.

Loved it! - What a great experience. Matt was the perfect driver - friendly, super-skilful and provided useful info without overwhelming us (he also let a little boy on board steer for a bit which was cute). Tons of fun jet-boating along the beautiful Clutha River at a reasonable price compared to what else is on offer. Highly recommend.

Must-do - This was so cool, a must-do when you are in Wanaka, also a nice way to see the surrounding nature, the beautiful mountains. Matt was great!! I really enjoyed it.

First Jet Boat experience - First Jet boat experience was really enjoyable although maybe not as adrenaline fuelled as we thought it might be. Amber good host and informative about lake and river.
