Extreme Jet Boating in Hanmer Springs

Extreme Jet Boating in Hanmer Springs

Soak up the scenery of Hanmer Springs while you jet through the narrow gorges, white-water rapids, and braided shallows of the Waiau River. Experience the thrill of a 30-minute jet boat ride, a high-octane adventure that carries you over mere inches of water and rotates in 360-degree spins.

Select from several departure times at booking and head to the jet boat base in Hanmer Springs to board your powerboat. You'll experience the ultimate ride with a skilled driver at the helm, who maneuvers the jet boat down the Waiau River. Speed over white-water rapids and through steep gorges while the boat negotiates the narrow river channel.

Skim over the crystal-clear waters of 6-inch-deep (15-cm) riverbeds through braided shallows and hold on tight during 360-degree jet spins while you attempt to take in the scenic river views during your 30-minute adventure.
