Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...

Highlights

  • Amazing one hour jet boating experience along the Kawarau & Shotover rivers
  • Travel at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep
  • Experience exhilarating 360 degree spins - what jet boats are renowned for!
  • Travel 45 kilometres and soak up the diversity of stunning Queenstown landscapes

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.

즐거운 한시간

제트보트 경험을 여러가지 서비스를 검색을 했었는데요. 일단 장점은 - 비슷한 가격대의 다른 보트들이 30여분 정도인데 비해 거의 60분을 타고 퀸즈타운 안쪽까지 돌아볼 수 있음 - 탑승포인트가 시내에서 시작해서 접근성이 좋았던 것 같아요. 단점이라기 보다는 고려할 사항은 - 1시간이 너무 길다면 패스 - 신청을 하더라도 해당 시간에 예약자가 적으면 자칫 못 탈수도 있어요. (저도 다른 분이 더 안오셨으면 미처 타지 못할 뻔 했어요) 도움이 되셨으면 합니다. :-)

별로..

바람 많이 불고 파도 심하면 진짜 허리 끊어져요 처음 출발할때 재미있다 싶었는데 딱 10분 재미있고 50분동안 그만하고 싶었어요 ㅜㅜ

From KJet - 1 Hour Jet Boat Ride

Hi Junyil, Thank you for choosing KJet and reviewing your experience with us. During springtime Queenstown is known for being quite windy, and therefore the lake can sometimes be choppy. We offer trips that depart from Frankton Marina which cuts out the first and last 10 minutes, which can be the bumpiest part of the trip when its windy. We hope you had a lovely time in Queenstown and hope to see you again on a calmer day. Many thanks KJet Queenstown

가성비 최고!!

Shotover jet을 탈까 이것을 탈까 고민하다 결정하였는데 후회 없었습니다 긴 시간 동안 지루하지 않게 지속적으로 스릴을 줍니다. 다만, 옷이 젖지 않기 위해 입는 방수코트에서 걸레냄새 같은 것이 좀 많이나요 ㅋㅋ;; 근데 보트가 달릴때는 냄새를 느낄 틈이 없습니다 ㅎㅎ

재밌음

바람 엄청맞고 물도 많이 맞아여~ 재밌는데 이건 호수에서 하는거에요~ 협곡에서 하는게 더 재밌을것같아요 하지만 그게 비싸니깐...이건 가성비대비 재밌습니다! 아저씨가 360도 회전 많이해주세요
