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.

Really good experience & fun just not as thrilling as I expected, just think it should be advertised different to the original Shotover jet, as it’s not as thrilling more of a family ride
We went so fast! It was tons of fun but make sure to hold on for the spins! Also, try getting there early so you are first in line and can choose a seat on the edge of the boat! You might get a little wet, but that’s where you’ll get the best views. If you want to stay dry, sit in the middle.
Hi Louise, Thank you for reviewing your experience with us, it's awesome to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the speed! Unfortunately, we can't always guarantee seats even if customers are at the front of the queue, sometimes the drivers must be strategic about where they place people in the boats. We will always do our very best to get people the seats they want. We hope you enjoyed the rest of you visit in Queenstown. Many thanks KJet Queenstown
Definitely not what I thought it was going to be like. Actually got a bit boring and the ride back was pretty much the boat just smacking up and down on the water so it was actually just really uncomfortable. The staff were really nice and friendly. But I wouldn’t recommend it. Rather boring and slow, definitely not how it’s advertised. The first 10 minutes were good but yeah don’t waste your money. Just slow and not it. But staff were super cool.
Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for coming out with us for a second time and for reviewing your experience. We could not be happier that you and the kids loved the trip and your driver. We hope you enjoyed your time Queenstown and hope to see you again for a third time one day ; ) Many thanks KJet Queenstown
