Fantastic 5.0
This is a very long-standing attraction. After checking in on time, there is basically no wait. The experience is very fulfilling and exciting. You will get a little wet from the river water, but overall it's not a big deal, except that the life jackets are used so frequently that they have a damp, musty odor.

We didn’t know what to do and just decided to book ThunderJet and no regrets! Originally booked the 30 minute ride but got upgraded to a 1 hour ride for free. Very fun and amazing experience we loved it! Thank you Mitch for taking us spinning around the Kawarau River

A very fun activity to experience while in New Zealand. The fast but safe jetboat and chill funyak paired with the view of the mountains was definitely a memorable part of our trip.

What to know before visiting Queenstown

Why travellers visit Queenstown

Queenstown is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, with Water activities and Cruises also popular through the year. Klook booking data shows Outdoor & sports activities lead in bookings, followed by Water activities, Cruises, Tours and Massages, so most visitors come for active, outdoors-focused experiences. Demand rises toward December and eases through March, so your choice is whether you want the lively peak-season atmosphere or quieter off-peak days. Decide between peak-season buzz or quieter exploration — Klook booking data helps you pick the mood that suits your trip.

When to visit and price rhythm

Demand on Klook peaks in December while March is the quietest month, so if you prefer livelier crowds aim for December and if you want calmer conditions aim for March. Prices move modestly through the year: the typical paid on Klook drifts down into October–December and rises toward May, so months with lower demand often align with lower median prices but the priciest median falls in May. For lower prices and smaller crowds, target October–November; for peak-season atmosphere pick December.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average USD 107
February Quieter than usual USD 108
March Quieter than usual USD 110
April About average USD 108
May Busier than usual USD 117
June About average USD 115
July About average USD 113
August About average USD 111
September Busier than usual USD 106
October Busier than usual USD 103
November Busier than usual USD 103
December Busier than usual USD 103

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers planning ahead

Most travellers on Klook lock experiences in about two weeks ahead, while the earliest planners book around five weeks out, so allow some planning time before you travel. Because December is the peak month, booking earlier for December experiences is wise; in quieter months you can be more flexible and book closer to your trip. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure activities that suit your preferred pace — whether you want the buzz of peak season or smaller crowds at lower median prices — and consider reserving higher-demand activities early to avoid missing out.
