Review for: Pure Wilderness - Jet Boat and Scenic Walk

I really enjoyed this Jet Boat experience. Our skipper was very knowledgeable, experienced and humourous. My husband and I also enjoyed the short walk on the Kepler Track. We had our 8 and 10 year old with us and they really enjoyed the spins! highly recommend this ride to truly take in the sights and beauty of the Fiordland.

Very good experience! Not only is it exciting, but the attractions are introduced in great detail, and you can also take a walk in the small forest! What a great experience! And it’s very convenient to participate in the city

Review for: Pure Wilderness - Jet Boat and Scenic Walk

When you go to Te Anau, you can not only see fireflies, but also take a jet boat ride. The scenic spots will be explained and introduced along the way. In the middle, you will go for a walk in the rainforest, and there will also be a small spin in the middle. It is a great experience, although the day of the experience was a bit... It rained, but the overall experience was still great. The staff were always concerned about whether it would be cold, provided blankets, and put on raincoats and life jackets before departure.
