Breathtaking Dart River: Queenstown Jet Boat & Funyak Adventure

Just do it! I was reluctant thinking I wasn’t fit enough but it was the best day ever. Nikki our jet boat driver was very experienced and made our ride out to the start of our funyaks journey exciting, stopping along the way to give us interesting information. We met our guides Brandon and Rob and after a short brief we were in our way down stream to our lunch spot. Lunch was delicious. After lunch we entered the chasm which was the best experience of the day apart from everything else. I cannot recommend this day highly enough. And if you are a Lord of The Rings fan you will like it even more. 10/10. Thank you Mac our bus driver, Nikki, Rob and Brandon.

-The flow of the dart river and its level were high. So we didnt enter the Chasem - what I was waited for, also we had been tight up as a raft instead of indeviduall cannoe option - this diminished the hype from the adventuere. - Food for vegeterian is so-so. - Some of the guides was not very nice - we felt like we owe them something . The Jet boat was also very mild ... The positive points are that at least they gave us a chance to decide wether we want to change or cancel and receive a refund in real time. But pitty that they didnt offer a rebook voucher on top of the partial experience. I think that was a better idea if they had think about it.

Best fun we've had in years. So well organised and the guides Matt and Rob were fabulous. Ages from 11 to 80 and all had a great experience not to mention the stunning scenery. Highly recommend this experience to anyone, especially if you love peace and tranquility.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Scenery, weather, coupled with caring and helpful staff who were very professional in what they did made for a memorable experience.

One of the best adventure experiences I’ve had with my wife. We are both over 60 and whilst I am reasonably active and fit with a sense of adventure, my wife is not as fit and mobile, and consequently is not very adventurous. She was only doing this because friends recommended it but was very apprehensive about doing it particularly as the weather forecast was for a cold, windy and wet day. From start to finish, Dart River Adventures was very professional and all staff tried to put my wife at ease. Particular thanks to Jarrod, Georgia and Michelle. Their communication, organisation, friendliness, enthusiasm, support and above all else making us feel safe was second to none. And at no time did we really feel cold with all the warm and water proof gear that was provided. Each part of the experience from jet boating to canoeing on the Dart River and in the beautiful chasm, lunch (including home cooked items) and even the bus trip back to the office through a working farm, with wonderful scenery made for a truly wonderful experience. Most highly recommended.

The crew was very accommodating and friendly! Amazing scenery and experience! We were given the opportunity to reschedule because of rain in the forcast but we wanted to continue on and the crew took us in the rain! Very unique experience for those who love the outdoors and don’t mind putting a little work in!

AMAZING tour!! So stunningly beautiful. Guides Rob and John were great, informative and fun. We had (another) John as our jetboat driver, who had great knowledge of the area. The paddle is very easy to do; you basically just float down the river. The lunch was delicious too. Only one small suggestion, tea/coffee would be lovely with the lunch or when we get off the jet boat.

An amazing and unique experience. The guides are awesome and you get to see some incredible sights. A great day out was had.

What an amazing experience! I love seeing the spectacular views of the mountains and river. Seriously my favorite activity I did in New Zealand! Love love love! And great guides too! Shout out to Rob!

All the guides were fantastic. We had Rob, Brendan, John and Toby. Would highly recommend even for a beginner adventurer.
