Good experience, our boat operator ensured we had loads of spins and spent time to share about the rivers
Must do! Spins are awesome, will surely do again. !!
It was 60 mins of thrilling jet ride across Whakatipu lake and Shotover river. Absolutely fun jet driver, we did several spins and got wet! Would totally do it again. Highly recommended!
The experience was very fun especially how the driver turns the e boat 360 and does sharp bends and turns. You also learn about the history of the lakes and rivers which is great. Overall the Kjet experience is amazing.
Easy to locate, just have to be there half a hour in advance. There were 14 of us and they were helpful in getting us on the same boat. Was a fun ride down the rivers. The sharp turns were manageable. Truly memorable!
Super exciting. Multiple 360° turn and high speed on the boat. The skipper went through safety checks and shared inform information about the lake. Beautiful and exciting day.
