Wanaka River Journeys is a half day wilderness jet boating adventure beneath spectacular views of Mount Aspiring and her Glaciers. Feel the wind in your hair on board our purpose built jet boats as you wind your way past towering mountains, waterfalls and Lord of The Rings film locations on a jet boating sensation like no-other!

Like rally cars on water our jet boats use sliding turns and speeds of up to 80kmph to navigate this shallow and braided river system. This is a jet boating sensation like no other with the only jet boat company to see Mount Aspiring and her Glaciers.

A highlight is the remote guided walk into an ancient beech forest, a great opportunity to experience real New Zealand wilderness. More than just a jet boat ride, this is a journey into the cultural heritage of our people and our land.

Summer departure times: 10am and 1pm
Allow: 4 hours

For those who want an even MORE exciting experience and an up-close look at the Glaciers, there is an optional helicopter flight from the jet boat and high altitude snow landing. The ultimate combination of jet boating, wilderness walk and glacier helicopter flight.
