What to expect
Only KJet offers over 60 minutes of unforgettable thrills, spins and exhilaration across three waterways in one of the world’s most stunning locations. Firstly, your twin engine Jet boat roars across crystal clear Lake Wakatipu at breath-taking speed, surrounded by majestic mountains and mesmerising scenery. Then you zoom under the Kawarau Dam onto the deep green waters of the Kawarau River, complete with lots of 360° spins. Next the adventure heightens as your driver navigates the fast moving currents of the narrow braided Shotover River, racing up the shallow channels at speeds of up to 95KPH in water that’s often less than 10cm deep.
Reviews
Straight to the time, fun and exciting. Worth every pennies.
excellent experience. very exciting, highly recommended!
nice experience and beautiful view of queens town.
An exhilarating way to explore Queenstown. The sharp turns are so exciting - prepare to get wet! Stunning scenes from the boat.
Fantastic experience! The best advantage is that you get a full hour to soak in this exhilarating experience! Our boat instructor Luke had a great sense of humour and told interesting tales about the Shotover river and Lake wakatipu!
It was a long, exciting, and fun experience! If you're enthusiastic enough, the instructor will give you plenty of thrilling spins. I recommend wearing a waterproof and windproof jacket or a raincoat (with a hood), because your hair will definitely get wet! You can wear a phone lanyard so you don't have to worry about your phone flying out while recording videos or taking pictures!
An exhilarating experience. A bit of thrill without being over the top scary. The instructors were very entertaining and knowledgeable.
One of the highlights of our trip to Queenstown. Our driver/guide Rubin was fantastic. If you love speed, you are gonna love this !
We had a great time on the shotover jet, it was so exhilarating. If you want the most thrill (and to get a bit wet), sit at the front side. It’s advertised as being an hour long but was more like 45 mins as boat was late arriving and early dropping us back.
The experience time is complete, the commentator (the speedboat driver) is very funny, and it is not uncomfortable to sit up. It is a highly recommended activity in Queenstown.
