KJet: Jet Boat Ride Queenstown

Only KJet offers over 60 minutes of unforgettable thrills, spins and exhilaration across three waterways in one of the world’s most stunning locations.   Firstly, your twin engine Jet boat roars across crystal clear Lake Wakatipu at breath-taking speed, surrounded by majestic mountains and mesmerising scenery. Then you zoom under the Kawarau Dam onto the deep green waters of the Kawarau River, complete with lots of 360° spins. Next the adventure heightens as your driver navigates the fast moving currents of the narrow braided Shotover River, racing up the shallow channels at speeds of up to 95KPH in water that’s often less than 10cm deep. Departing every hour on the hour from Central Queenstown, come and experience the world’s first Jet boat ride with Kawarau Jet (KJet) from the Main Town Pier. There’s a reason we’ve been around for over 60 years…
