Highlights
  • Fiordland - Begin your tour at our office to get fitted for your bike and helmet plus a spray coat and life jacket.

Take a short bus ride to the boat ramp where you’ll board the boat with ease thanks to convenient ramps. After a short safety brief it’s time to hit the water!

Travel down the Upper Waiau River with crisp air rushing by, crystal-clear waters below and stunning views all around. Pause along the way to learn about the area and it’s rich history, have some laughs, spot trout, re-imagine Lord of the Rings from 3 film locations and listen to native birds as your driver quiets the engine. Enjoy plenty of photo opportunities plus high-speeds and spins - which are great fun for all!

Emerge onto Lake Manapouri and embrace the silence while surrounded by towering mountains and a view that will leave you speechless.

Disembark into the National Park for a short guided nature stroll among native flora and fauna.

Jump back in the boat and head back up river for more FUN!

Back at the boat ramp your bike will be waiting to travel the designated cycle trail 10km/7mi along the river’s edge back to Te Anau’s town centre. The trail is well-formed and just requires a moderate level of fitness.

Jet Boat and E-bike ride not to be missed. Magnificent!!! - You cannot visit New Zealand without visiting Te Anau and you can’t visit Te Anau without taking a tour with Fiordland Jet. It is quite simply beautiful. As close to perfect as you could ever wish. We took the Jet Boat and E-bike option. It was magnificent. The scenery is spectacular, but that is not why you do this trip. It’s the people. The people working at Fiordland Jet love their work. It is so obvious. We had John Lapsley as our driver. He is a caring and thoughtful man who has a great respect for the environment he gets to enjoy everyday. He loved sharing it with visitors. The thrills of the Jet Boat were fantastic, but sitting serenely in Lake Manapouri with the motor off, just taking in the breathtaking beauty all around us was just as invigorating. We had a walk on the Kepler Trail when John was able to tell us seemingly every knowable fact about the region and its history. On our trip we had a severely disabled young man who loved every minute of the adventure. John’s patience and loving kindness towards this young man were admirable. It was heartwarming. We took the option of riding e-bikes back to Te Anau. The bikes were great. Very comfortable and well maintained. And they were powerful to get us up the few hills. The ride along the banks of the Waiau River is wonderful. Fiordland Jet is a small family business staffed by people who know their stuff and love their region. It seems to me that their greatest love in life is sharing New Zealand with anyone lucky enough to spend a few hours with them. Do this tour!!!

Great family experience for a day in Te Anau - We were originally planning just to do a bike tour around Te Anau. We stopped by the bike rental close to the lake, and after talking to Chris and Abby we decided to try the tour they were suggesting. We biked for 3 hours with e-bikes and then we did a jet boat tour. Our driver John was a great guide, very skilled and made sure everyone had fun on the boat. Loved that they provided warm gear during the boat experience. We definitely recommend to try this experience.

Lake2Lake there and back - The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They outfitted us with nice warm jackets, beanies and even gave us sunglasses if we didn’t have any! Our driver was Lex and was exceptional. He made the trip fun, informative and did plenty spinners for the kids! The trip down the river was beautiful! From Te Anau to Manapouri it was clear waters and beautiful forest. Bonus was seeing some Lord of the Rings locations! Then we decided to take the bike trip back on the Lake2Lake trail, which was an awesome option. We got some exercise and some extra beautiful views of the river.

Great fun but also informative trip. - Had a great time. We are a retired couple from the UK and booked the trip spontaneously. We had some concerns beforehand about the speed of the boat but our guide Lex was very reassuring and indeed made the experience fun, informative and ensured that we all felt safe. It was very enjoyable and we are so pleased that we booked.

100% quality-safety-price-pleasure - On February 14, 2024, we took the combined ticket with the jetboat ride and the return by electric bike but were not sure we would like it. The day was great. The team is very dynamic and it is the complete opposite of mass tourism. We were full but only 10 on the boat. Whether it was Chris, Abby or our TOP skipper Alex, they gave us many explanations and prepared some good surprises for us. Everything is planned in detail. Well done and thank you to all 3!! I highly recommend. 100% quality-safety-price-pleasure. Nathalie

A must do in Te Anu - This is a must do. The jet boat ride is not crazy, but lots of funny. Scenery was spectacular. Lots of stops along the way for photos and information. The short forest walk was interesting and informative. The guide gauged the comfort level of the group when he did the spins in the boat and we all wanted more! I also recommend getting the bike and doing the longer ride. We had e bikes which I would highly recommend unless you are a serious cycler as it is hilly. But the views are amazing. All the staff were terrific.
