Put a little sizzle in your day with this jet boat outing on one of New Zealand's most challenging and exciting rivers.
From the port of Lyttelton, journey across the fertile Canterbury Plains to the spectacular Waimakariri River.
The Waimakariri River is one of Canterbury's famous braided river systems. Braided rivers by definition are those with a very wide riverbed where the water criss-crosses its way downstream. Only a small percentage of the worlds river systems are braided, and the jet boat was specifically invented for navigating these types of rivers.Here, you'll gear up with a life jacket and board a Hamilton jet boat which will take you on a thrilling and spectacular 20 minute scenic ride deep into the Waimakariri River, skimming over water at times only inches deep -- a thrill that only jet boating can offer -- complete with spins and fishtails.
At the end of your jet boat experience, you will return to Lyttelton.
Notes:
Minimum age is 2 years. You may get wet.
