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.

Did all three thrilling activities: bungy, swing and zip line. Awesome experience would do it again. Can’t wait to do the Nevis bungy next visit. Thanks Klook for making this affordable to do

What to know before visiting Queenstown

What Queenstown is famous for

Queenstown is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Water activities and Cruises, with Tours and Massages also popular. The city's rhythm through the year shows a strong summer surge: Klook booking data records January as a busy month while March is noticeably quieter. Expect action-packed options in the busiest months and calmer, easier bookings in the quieter shoulder months. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or a more relaxed trip — Klook booking data helps you time activities around those seasonal swings.

Best months to visit Queenstown

January is the clearest peak in demand while March is the quietest month; Klook booking data marks January as busier and March as quieter. Prices drift across the year with the priciest month in June and the cheapest in September; the median price over the last 12 months is typically around AUD 162 according to Klook booking data. When demand and price align, June shows both higher prices and steady interest, while September offers lower prices and lighter crowds — a good choice for value. For lower prices and smaller crowds, choose September; for peak-season atmosphere, pick January or June.

January Busier than usual AUD 154

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia lock in plans well ahead: bookings typically happen about 15 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 46 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can still be flexible, but it's wise to secure must-do outdoor adventures and popular water activities earlier in January and June when demand climbs. If you're booking later, Klook often shows last-minute availability about 5 days before travel, so check for updates. Book through Klook for easy confirmations and to secure preferred time slots for peak-season experiences.
