KJet - 60 Minute Trip - Shotover and Kawarau Rivers
From
Highlights
KJet offers 60 minutes of unforgettable thrills, spins and exhilaration across
three
waterways in one of the world’s most stunning locations. The twin engine Jet
boat roars across crystal clear Lake Wakatipu at breath-taking speed,
surrounded by majestic mountains and mesmerising scenery. Then the Jet boat
zooms under the Kawarau Dam onto the deep green waters of the Kawarau River,
complete with lots of 360° spins. Next the adventure heightens as the driver
navigates the fast-moving currents of the narrow braided Shotover River,
racing
up the shallow channels at speeds of up to 95KPH in water that’s often less
than 5cm deep.
CHILDREN AND INFANTS
Children are aged 5-14 years inclusive. Infants are aged 2-4 years and Jet
boat for free with an accompanying adult.

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.
