Step off Queenstown's Main Town Pier and onto a big yellow KJet boat for an unforgettable Jet boating experience...
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jetboat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.

It was a nice experience. The rider Anton explained in between the ride. But they could have taken picture individually while on ride using an action camera.
So much fun awesome driver must do when in Queenstown
Good fun, with an entertaining driver, and of course wonderful views. I was getting a bit queasy by the end though.
Had wonderful weather,it’s always nice being out on a boat. Fast but not dangerous or scary. Got a little spray that’s all. I would recommend it for a good opportunity to see Queenstown from the water.

Great fun and you WILL get soaked!
Great team who carefully explained all safety aspects of the ride. Our driver did lots of 360s which was awesome! It was a VERY chilly afternoon and we weren’t quite prepared for how wet we would get and how cold we would be once we were wet and the wind was whipping by us as we sped along! Counted fault KJET - perfect ride length compared to other companies - just remember to pack that spray jacket!!
