It's going to be a scorcher in Queenstown! (Fri, 25th Jan 2013)

This weekend is set to be a scorcher here in the Wakatipu, if you're searching for activities to do in Queenstown, how about a refreshing zip along the lake and then up the Kawarau River? Sound like the sort of thing you'd like? Feeling the breeze through your hair as we power up the river through some of the regions most dramatic landscapes... bliss on a summer's day!

If you need even more adventure, then our good friends at Heli Tours have a brand new helicopter to fly you out of the heat and onto the mountain - check out our amazing deals on a Heli Jet Combo.

We look forward to thrilling you soon!

Are you planning an active weekend? (Wed, 16th Jan 2013)

It's going to be a busy weekend over the hill in Wanaka with the Challenge Wanaka Ironman where some crazy fit people will be swimming 3.8km, biking 180km then finishing it off with a short run of 42.2km!!!

If that sounds a bit much activity for you (despite your New Years resolutions) then you should stay in town with us and experience the best Jet Boating New Zealand has to offer right here in Queenstown! And if you've completed the Ironman, why not run or bike over to see us on Sunday where we'll give you the ride of your life!!

Have you seen our new boat?! (Thu, 10th Jan 2013)

  • Have you seen our new boat?! - Three ThunderJets! Photo Miles Holden.

With a total of 820 Horse Power you'd probably hear it first!!!

A big thank you to everyone who turned up to support us at our launch party, we're now happily in the New Year with not one, not two, but THREE ThunderJets rocking the Wakatipu and Kawarau!

We're so proud of our new boat you should come down to Steamer Wharf and check it out...

At the moment summer is here, and the next minute it's gone, but while it may be bad for lazing on the beach, a bit of snow on the hills is perfect for Helicopter sightseeing! We've teamed up with Heli Tours to give you the ultimate thrill - a scenic flight with an alpine landing followed by an hour blasting along the glacial waters of Lake Wakatipu into the mighty Kawarau River - we'll see you here!
