Jet boating is a truly unique way of seeing the Waimakariri
River's lower braided river system constantly changing and ever
challenging. The Jet Thrills drivers speed and spin in places
sometimes only centimetres deep. Our Hamilton Jet boats make short
work of the swift flowing river as it rushes from the Southern Alps
to the sea. Four tours are available 7 days a week from the
exciting 30 minute 'Braided Blast' and the 60 minute 'Blast Plus',
to the 90 minute Jet Trek an amazing combination of Horse Trek and
'Braided Blast'. If you want to get off the ground to see some more
of the river and surrounding area then the Heli Jet is definitely
the way to do it. Jet Thrills operates daily from below the State
Highway 1 Bridge 15 minutes north of Christchurch city centre.
Bookings essential.
