Thrilling, fun and fabulous views! - My husband and I had an absolute ball on our jetboat trip! Anton our guide was wonderful and great fun and facilitated an atmosphere of fun, adventure and safety. It was just brilliant fun! The views were fantastic too and we really enjoyed some background on Queenstown and the surrounding areas too.

Great fun on the water - Great experience on the water with not a dry person on the boat. Impressive scenery, speeds of up to 95kms/hr and some impressive spins. Absolute blast for any adrenaline junky.

Loved it - We had such a great time we went in April so it was a little chilly, but we dressed accordingly and had a blast! Our kids range from 3-10yr old and all loved it.

Great experience. Only... - Great experience. Only advice I would give to others is if you/family are sensitive to coldness take a beanie, gloves and even glasses/goggles maybe. The cold air after you have been wet can be a bit much.

Great fun but you WILL get soaked if you sit on the outside edge! - Great team who carefully explained all safety aspects of the ride. Our driver did lots of 360s which was awesome! It was a VERY chilly afternoon and we weren’t quite prepared for how wet we would get and how cold we would be once we were wet and the wind was whipping by us as we sped along! Couldn’t fault KJET - perfect ride length compared to other companies - just remember to pack that spray jacket!!

Great 1 hour excursion. - A blast. Expect to get splashed, maybe wetter in a couple seats, but no need for extreme protection.

Fun but bring a rain jacket - Lots of fun. Friendly staff. Great driver Anton. Only downside despite claiming to provide wet weather gear had to pay $5 for a rain jacket which was an expensive plastic garbage bag.

Wear a rain jacket. You... - Wear a rain jacket. You will get a little bit wet even on a sunny day. Better to try and go on a sunny day to get the best views.
