Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jetboat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.

An amazing time. Our 4yo loved it and the heated handle bar made for a comfortable ride. The driver was amazing and would certainly do it again!
We enjoyed doing this thrilling activity in winter. Layer up and feel the freezing temperature while getting splashes here and there from the refreshing lake water. Overall 10/10. Our jet boat operator was very nice and informative, he would check to see if we're ok from time to time.
Very fun experience with stunning views on the lake and of the remarkables
What a fantastic way to see queenstown from a different perspective whilst having an adrenaline hit that’s so much fun. Sam (our driver) was amazing - very funny whilst being professional. We all felt safe and had the best time. Thanks guys 😊
