About

KJet holds the crown as Queenstown's original jet boat experience, and after 30-plus years of perfecting the art of high-speed water thrills, they've earned every bit of that reputation. What sets KJet apart isn't just their claim to fame – it's the sheer scope of their adventure. They're the only operator that takes you on all three of Queenstown's iconic waterways in a single ride: the dramatic Shotover River with its narrow canyon walls, the braided channels of the Kawarau River, and the expansive beauty of Lake Wakatipu stretching toward the Remarkables.

Highlights

  • Full hour of adventure covering 45 kilometres with speeds reaching up to 95kph
  • Signature 360-degree spins and shallow-water river running through braided channels
  • Departs directly from Queenstown town centre pier - walk from your hotel
  • Original jet boat operators with over 30 years of experience and expert driver-entertainers
  • Stunning backdrop of the Remarkables mountain range and dramatic canyon walls
  • Waterproof gear provided and family-friendly adventure suitable for all ages
  • Optional Time Tripper underwater theatre experience to see beneath Lake Wakatipu
