5Breathtaking scenery, exhilarating ride!
What a great way to spend an hour. The jet boat ride was awesome, loads of fun, laughter and adrenaline! Liam (our boat driver) was wonderful. Absolutley delightful, very knowledgable and an exceptional driver! (Other than thinking it funny when he got us wet on a spin - haha) I would definately recommend you give this a go!

5Lakeland jet
An exhilarating experience and the highlight of our stay in Wanaka. Ben, the jet boat driver, was very friendly, skilled and informative. Excellent value for money.
5Best value for money
We stayed in Wanaka and didn’t feel like driving to Queenstown for another jet boat ride. What a great decision. The ride went for over an hour with a combination of thrills and scenic boating, and interesting talk about the area, lakes and mountains. Such good value for money considering it was way cheaper than other operators and went for nearly 4 t8mes as long. We would highly recommend this experience.

About Wānaka
Wānaka is a lakeside town in New Zealand's Southern Alps, set below snowy peaks, a gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park and the ski fields.
Wānaka sits at the southern end of Lake Wānaka in the Otago region of the South Island, with mountains rising on every side. A path follows the lakefront past the lone willow that stands in the water, which has become a symbol of the town. Roys Peak, with its zigzag track, and Mount Iron give views over the lake and the valley. The town has cafés, galleries and a nearby wine region.
