  • 5Hanmer Springs Jet Boat

    If your in Hanmer Springs you must do the Jet boat experience. What a thrill ! Guide, Driver had a great sense of humour. Although the pics and video I got are great, I would have preferred being in the front or middle to get value for money on the pics & video.

  • 5Awesome!

    Awesome! Took the kids for a ride on the jetboat, so much fun! The heated handrails were much needed! Driver was great and made us feel completely safe and just enough terrified at the same time 😅

About Hanmer Springs

Hanmer Springs is an alpine village in North Canterbury, known for its thermal pools, forest trails and a ring of snowy mountains.

Hanmer Springs sits in a broad basin in the foothills of the Southern Alps, north of Christchurch, and has been a spa resort since the nineteenth century. Hot water rising from deep underground feeds a complex of outdoor and rock pools, and the village's main street of cafés, shops and gardens is shaded by mature exotic trees.
