This is a must do if you are passing through Murchison. It was a great experience and Mark provided information about the river.
We are early 60s so don't let age put you off, if you don't hop off the boat with a smile on your face you are not alive!Pat & Maureen

Awesome ride on the Buller River. We had a marvellous time on the boat which is not all about speed, spins and shearing next to the rocks. Mack also explained about what effect the earthquakes have had on the river.

Glad you enjoyed the ride Wil and thanks for the comments Kind Regards Mark

Brilliant fun, and skipper Mark was great - skillful, knowledgeable and a good laugh. Prepare to get wet (we got soaked! - thanks Mark ;) but it adds to the fun and was exciting. V8 Chevvy motor delivered the goods with fantastic speed and Mark used his knowledge of the river to the best effect. We were also lucky to see a huge wild brown trout, wild goats and a big hawk being scared off by a super-fast swooping falcon - and all the time being entertained by great driving, and lots of interesting tales about the local area. Fab-u-lous!!
Buller Canyon Jet responds:

Congratulations Buller Canyon Jet

Perfect mix of exciting adventure-ride, beautiful scenery and information about Buller River and surroundings. Mark is "sweet as" ;) We had so much fun and highly recommend this attraction. Also much cheaper than jet-boat-rides in Queenstown.

We did this trip yesterday (5th Nov) after reading the reviews on Rankers and I can tell you, we weren't disappointed. Everything about it was spot on especially the captain, Mark, who was funny, knowledgeable, safety conscious and an all round nice guy. He knows every bend, rock and rapid on that river and gave us a ride to remember. Thanks for the complimentary drink Mark!! (You have to ride to find out about that).
Buller Canyon Jet responds:
Haa Haa I remember the drinks trolly going around the crew ,thanks Maggie aqnd all the best -Mark

We were a family of 4 and had an amazing time. Our guide Mark was very genuine and personable. Our boys will remember this adventure for the rest of their lives. The river was breathtaking and the history and information that Mark shared with us was excellent. Would highly recommend this adventure to everyone! Our boys thought Mark was "sweet as!"
Buller Canyon Jet responds:
Thanks for the review Corinne great to have you and the boys on board all the best Mark

Absolutely brilliant, four of us had an experience of a lifetime on a beautiful river in a great boat with an excellent driver and guide. Mark went out of his way to make our experience exceptional, it felt just for us. Great information on the river and the area added to the trip and is one of our many highlights from our New Zealand trip and cannot recommend Buller Canyon Jet highly enough. Mark can expect more Aussies coming his way.
Buller Canyon Jet responds:
Wow thanks a lot for the great review it was a real pleasure showing you around and having a blast on the Buller
