KJet delivered an epic experience from start to finish. The team were professional, friendly, and made everyone feel completely at ease before getting into the fun. The experience was full of speed, excitement, and thrilling spins, all set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Wakatipu and the Kawarau River. 100% would highly recommend!

This was an amazing & exciting experience with the team keeping safety a priority while keeping the ride interactive. The jetboat ride is a must do in Queenstown!

It was a fun ride but the only disappointment we had was that we didn't see our faces in the picture taken by them.. only the first row passengers got the beet shots!.

A great thrilling time of Jet boating along the local rivers. Awesome guide with facts about the history and areas. Highly recommended.

This was a great experience! Exhilarating and exciting, superb fun. We were the oldies on the boat, both over 70, but don’t let that put you off. A highlight of our trip.

Loved it!! Family of 5 including 3yr old who fell asleep half way through - such an awesome experience and beautiful views. Booking was disrupted due to high winds so didn't depart from waterfront but departed from Marina which was fantastic well organized transportation & we still got the full Jetboat experience with plenty of 360 spins (note middle seats do get soaked so if your hoping to stay dry wear waterproof clothing). Heated handrail on the boats were much appreciated especially going on the 5pm ride, cooler evenings. Will definitely book again 💯

Bloody awesome. Weather was windy but didnt stop us. Pilot was off tap and very knowledable. Was a great trip. Highly recommend 😁

Driver was very good. Funny but still kept us well informed of what was to come. Was very thrilling but not as scary as I thought it would be.
