FUN in boat down the Waiau river! - We’ve never been on a jet boat ride but this ride was fantastic! Jeff was an excellent jet boat captain/guide. The ride was fast and fun and the “wee hike through the bush” was amazing. We learned quite a lot about the lake, the river and the national park. Highly recommend this journey!

Thrilling jet boat ride. - Super fun boat ride! If you like boats, don’t miss this trip. You get to zoom along at some 45 knots including several ‘whirlies’ that put a grin on your face. The rainforest walk was very educational and our guide totally knew his stuff. Then we got to enjoy the speedy return ride.

Fantastic fun for all ages. - This was a great morning out on the water. Really well organised and lots of fun. As per other reviews only bring your sunglasses and camera. They provide jackets, sunscreen and beanies (pretty cold even in February on a nice day), and we got water from lake manapouri. No wet feet! (I think it is calmer in the morning generally, the wind seems to come up in the middle of the day) Highly recommended.

Amazing tour and employees - My fiance and I walked up to inquire about a tour. Lucy was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we could go on the tour in 20 minutes, just so we wouldn't have to wait around until the afternoon tour. The tour itself was amazing. I think Shane was our driver. He was a ton of fun and extremely informative. Great guide to have. He was able to get to know the group to make it more of a personalized experience as well. I would have given 5 stars..but after the tour we were back at the office using the wifi for a bit to decide what to do next. We overheard the owner of the company yelling at all the employees, saying they weren'tdoing good enough. All the employees we had just seen working so hard, and giving everyone a great experience...and he was being so rude to them I thought it must've been a joke at first. They should have been treated better.
