Queenstown Jet Boating & Water Adventures:

Kawarau Jets big yellow boats leave every hour at the Main Town Pier in the centre of Queenstown. In an unforgettable jetboat experience you’ll be transported from the sophisticated downtown area into the channels of two of New Zealand’s most scenic rivers. Across the pristine waters of Lake Wakatipu and through the tranquil beauty of the willow lined Kawarau River, the jetboat then speeds into the shallow, fast moving braids of the Shotover.

The Dart River Safari: combines a 1 ½ hours jet boating, a 20-40 minute forest and nature walk, and 40-50 minute back road journey through Paradise.

A short and easy bush walk, of 20-40 minutes, takes visitors through a wonderful example of the forests of the region.

Step aboard - watch the stokers fuelling the fireboxes and hear the sound of the steam engines working as the TSS Earnslaw takes you on a nostalgic cruise of beautiful Lake Wakatipu.
