Overview

The KJet Queenstown 1-hour jet boat ride departs from the Main Town Pier in Queenstown, New Zealand. The ride begins by crossing Lake Wakatipu before entering the Kawarau River, where the boat performs high-speed spins. It then continues onto the shallow waters of the Shotover River, navigating tight bends and narrow sections. Life vests are provided for all passengers, and a professional driver guides the boat throughout the trip. The experience includes fast speeds and water spray. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included. Children must be accompanied by an adult, with a minimum age of 2 years. Passengers are advised to wear comfortable shoes, a jacket, and sun protection. Caregivers must assist with boarding and disembarking passengers with disabilities, and at least one caregiver must accompany larger groups on the boat.
