What to expect
Ride with Lakeland Wanaka and experience the water like you never have before. We take you on a thrilling 60 minute high speed Jet boat ride; departing from Wanaka’s waterfront enjoy a short jaunt across the lake taking in unsurpassed snow-capped mountain views, as we prepare to enter one of the world’s swiftest flowing rivers, the Clutha River.
Here your expert driver will raise your excitement demonstrating the manoeuvrability of the jet boat pushing it to its absolute limits; skilfully navigating through shallow water, tunnels and over giant pressure waves, speeding past trees mere inches from your face disappearing in your peripheral vision.
Picture yourself skimming across shallow water, over sand bars, through rapids and around rocks at speeds in excess of 80kph; and of course, a jet boat ride wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Hamilton Spin! A high-speed manoeuvre causing the boat to spin rapidly on the spot creating G forces you just can’t get enough of.
This is an adventure for most so come and experience the iconic NZ Jet boat right in the heart of Wanaka.

Took the jet boat on a whim with the family and was certainly not disappointed! The jet boat gives quite a drastically view of the areas around Wanaka from the trails. A special shoutout to Sarah for being a great guide and skipper, giving us a spin when the energy level waned and answering all sorts of questions about the river. Would definitely recommend for those visiting Wanaka! PS. Address given is actually the carpark opposite the i center. They're a mobile container and may not be so easy to find just using GPS.Myself and my family loved this jet boat tour! We had an awesome guide (Matt). Would 100% recommend this tour for all ages🙂

The skipper was friendly and knowledgeable. Where to go to participate was not clear on their website, but I found it in the end. The map would have been helpful on a confirmation e-mail or the website.

Micheal took us on an exhilarating ride but balanced it off brilliantly with knowledge about the lake and Clutha river. Would do again at the drop off a hat!

The autumn colours were superb as was our driver and guide Matt. Lots of thrills, with fans and sprays of white water from the jet boat, hang on spins and hold your breathe moments...
Brilliant jet boat trip on Lake Wanaka and down the Clutha River passed Albert Town and maybe halfway to Luggate. The autumn colours were superb as was our driver and guide Matt. Lots of thrills, with fans and sprays of white water from the jet boat, hang on spins and hold your breathe moments. Lots of fun and interesting facts and figures - well worth taking the time to see Wanaka and surrounding countryside from a different perspective. Thank you from Vicki and Cohen.Excellent trip and experience with perfect mix of thrill, tour and guide with local information. Matt was a great guide and made us feel very safe and looked after - important with young kids. Highly recommended. Not your average quick thrill jet boat trip but much more.
