About the Dart River

Our team spend years training to become Dart River guides. Their expertise on the jet boats, as tour guides, and in the local area make Dart River Adventures so special. With many years under our belts, we know the Glenorchy region like the backs of our hands.

Every adventure is different. The glacier-fed river means that water levels and access changes frequently. We get to share different parts of this unique landscape every day. Ngāi Tahu—the local Iwi—is proud to share this impressive slice of Te Wāhipounamu with people from all over the world.

These incredible glacial landscapes are recognised as some of the best in the world. The only way to see them is with Dart River Adventures.

As a gold-tier Qualmark certified tourism service provider, Dart River Adventures is proud to uphold the three main components of Tourism New Zealand’s accreditation:

• Light footprint: An environmentally friendly and holistically sustainable experience.
• Safe and sound: Where safe principles and practices are part of every experience.
• Warm welcome: Where you will always find a genuine welcome and true New Zealand hospitality.

At Dart River Adventures, we believe that taking a long-term view of sustainable operations can ensure our children’s children and the generations beyond will enjoy the whenua as we do today. So we have taken the Tiaki Promise to:

• Care for land, sea, and nature. Treading lightly and leaving no trace.
• Travel safely, showing care and consideration for all.
• Respect culture, travelling with an open heart and mind.

We work alongside the Routeburn Dart Wildlife Trust, the Electric Jet Boat Project, and the Department of Conservation to make more sustainable and climate-conscious business choices where we can. The Tiaki Promise we have undertaken informs all our decision-making, and the Ngāi Tahu iwi guides us on people and future-focused vision for generations to come.

Jet boating in Queenstown is the best way to explore our wild rivers.

Skim across the water, whizz round corners and shoot through narrow rocky gorges on a high-speed Queenstown jet boat ride. Queenstown is home to the world’s first commercial jet boat tour . Brothers Alan and Harold Melhop set up Kawarau Jet Services (or KJet as they’re now known) in 1959, introducing locals and visitors to a new kind of water adventure.

Today, adrenaline jet boat tours vary from white-knuckle white water rides, to wilderness tours, and even combos that offer jet boating followed by boutique wine tasting.

Experience a new generation of jet boats on Lake Whakatipu. Hydro Attack’s semi-submersible sharks are another world-first - a cross between a jet and torpedo, they hit speeds of 80kph, diving beneath the surface and breaching into the air.

Are jet boat tours in New Zealand safe?

Absolutely, all of these commercial jet boat tour operators have highly trained and experienced staff who have your safety as their number one priority.

To get your jet boating license you must complete 50+ hours on the water training. On top of this most commercial jet boat operators have additional training before drivers are allowed to take passengers. 

They will give you safety instructions and a life jacket prior to any trips and they will explain the safety procedures in depth, as long as you listen to their instructions and guidelines you will be fine.

These businesses must comply with strict safety regulations in order to conduct their business and they are regularly checked on by Maritime NZ   who ensure that each tour company is abiding by all of the rules and regulations.

You can rest assured in knowing that each touring company we've included in today's write up all meet the safety requirements and regulations set out by Maritime NZ.

How long do jet boat tours last?

Most tours are only around 15-25 minutes and time flies due to the exhilarating nature of your tour. Tours such as Kjet in Queenstown offer a 60 minute tour which is definitely a better experience if you want value for money. If you want to go up the river to the rapids, where the fun really starts, you'll only get around 20 minutes on the boat, as the river isn't long enough to offer longer tours. 

Some companies offer free shuttle buses from town to the base, and these bus journeys are often much longer than your actual time on the river. 

Do I get wet on a jet boat tour?

You will get wet however most companies offer a poncho or spray jacket which goes over your clothes and under your life jacket to keep you dry. 

In winter it can be pretty chilly so you'll definitely want to wrap up warm, while in summer, getting a little wet is all part of the fun. I always wear a coat and then the poncho, and my clothes stay dry! My hair on the other hand is always a bit messy and wet after. 

How fast do jet boats go? 

The boats can go up to 95km/h in a straight line on shallow rivers such as the Shotover. As you get up into the canyons and smaller rivers such as where the Shotover Jet and Skippers Canyon jet operate, you'd never be able to achieve these speeds due to the nature of the river. 

Some jet boating companies like to promote their jet boats as the fastest but this makes little difference to your experience as you have absolutely no idea how fast you're actually going. 

How much water do jet boats need?

Some jet boats only need 4" of water to operate, although operating at this level of water can scrape the bottom of the boat especially if there's rocks or wood in the water. 

This is what the jet boat was invented for, very similar to a jet ski which uses a jet propulsion engine which sits just below the water surface, allowing for gliding over the water at depths as low as only 4" or 10 cm of water. 

Will I get sea sick on a jet boat tour?

While jet boats don't go out on the open water (except in Auckland harbour), they do go up and down the rapids, as well as bob up and down in the water like any boat, so it's highly likely if you're prone to sea sickness you will feel unwell on a jet boating tour. 

Getting off in the event you're unwell is embarrassing as the tour has to stop for everyone else while they return you to base or the edge of the river to walk back to base. If you're prone to sea sickness, either find a different tour or take some sea legs before you board. I'd also skip breakfast! 

How much does the average jet boating tour cost?

Prices can range between each company and depending on what type of tour you are doing and for old old the person that you are paying for is.

Some general prices you may expect to see across most jet boating tours are ass follows:

• $60-100 for a child.
• $100-$160 for an adult.
• $200-$400 for family packages which usually cover 2 adults and two children under the ages of 15.

These are just general prices to give you a rough idea, you may encounter cheaper or more expensive tours between different companies and different types of tours.

What types of things will I see and do in a tour?

Each company offers different types of tours and different types of beautiful scenery for you to see, in general you can expect to see all kinds of beautiful views of forestry, wild animals and waterfalls.

Some tours take you through various areas where you can see historical heritage sights which are truly unique.

Most tours will showcase their boats speeds and give you a good adrenaline rush full of 360 degree turns and high octane speeds.

You can choose prior to going out on a tour on whether you want a high speed adrenaline rush type of tour or a more slower and calmer scenic type of tour.

All jet boating companies offer a wide range of different types of tours to suit everyone whether it be for and adult or a child.

There are more things that haven't been mentioned here that these businesses will show you on their tour, each company is different and you will generally be told by them what they offer in their tours on their website or in our write up for each business above.
