Review for: Dart River Funyak (Self-drive)

This trip from start to finish was AMAZING! Starting the morning in the jetboat and travelling upstream to board our funyaks. Riding the rapids, paddling through the most majestic scenery, enjoying lunch and having tour guides who went above and beyond. My highlight of an extraordinary day was paddling through the gorgeous glacier carved chasms - the colour was extraordinary.

The entire trip was exceptionally well organized and planned. All the staff were very friendly and kept us very safe while providing a very fun experience. A special shout-out to our instructor, Anna. She was very kind and helpful, providing us with a fun and safe experience.

It's super fun here. Although it's super cold, they provide big windbreakers and life jackets, which are very safe. It's a pity that we didn't get to go canoeing because of the bad weather, but the speedboat part is also very fun.

Great activity experience, the scenery is still beautiful even if it drizzles, but there are a lot of sand flies around the river, so remember to bring mosquito repellent

Review for: Dart River Funyak with Transport from Queenstown

It was truly a wonderful experience! Riding the jet boat, we weaved and sped upstream through magnificent mountains and rivers. The driving skills were top-notch, and the 360-degree spins were thrilling and fun. Paddling downstream in the inflatable raft was leisurely and effortless, as long as you could steer. Passing through the more turbulent sections looked nerve-wracking, but with the coach's safe guidance, everyone moved forward smoothly. We even enjoyed a delicious and hearty outdoor lunch midway. I really admire our coach, Michelle; she's like a superwoman! Her explanations were clear and humorous, and she's beautiful, smart, capable, and dedicated. She made my friend, who can't swim, feel completely at ease and happy throughout the trip! I give a big thumbs up to this company for their overall activity planning and teamwork!

Review for: Dart River Funyak with Transport from Queenstown

A fantastic experience, although it can be a bit tiring as the latter part of the trip involves rowing. I'd never rowed a boat before, so I felt quite exhausted, but the process was very interesting. The speedboat ride at the beginning was great fun, and the staff's driving skills were excellent. Even with the 360-degree turns, my body didn't shift, and I remained securely seated. Additionally, the rowing staff were very professional, ensuring the entire journey was very safe, and they were constantly monitoring everyone's movements.

Highly recommended! Pls go!! Best kayak and views ever. Wished the pilot did more stuns on the jet boat though and we got bitten by many sandflies but still an unforgettable experience!

Review for: Dart River Funyak (Self-drive)

The guides were professional and friendly, the pre-trip briefing was detailed, and the equipment provided was very complete. The jet boat ride in the first half was exciting, and be sure to keep your head warm due to the wind. Unfortunately, the weather was bad that day, the water flow was rapid and murky, and after lunch, the kayaking portion didn't go into the blue river channel I most wanted to visit. They only took us to see the stream on foot, which was disappointing, but understandable. I would go again if I have the chance!
