KJet has been running jet boats out of Queenstown since 1958 and they cover serious ground. A full hour across Lake Wakatipu and then up both the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers. That's 45km of waterways and a proper look at the landscape, not just a quick blast and back. Most operators offer 20 minutes. This is an hour.
One thing that comes up a lot in reviews is where you sit. Front row is fine, but the back row gets more of the action during the spins. Worth knowing before you board. Dress warm too, heated handrails aside, it's exposed out there on the water. Use promo code RANKERS to save 10% when you book, helps keep us going too.
The drivers get consistently good feedback. Informative, funny, and they push it when the conditions allow. The 360 degree spins are the crowd favourite. It's worth noting that if you're after the tight gorge walls of the upper Shotover, this isn't that trip. But for the full scenic and speed combo across multiple waterways, KJet is hard to beat in Queenstown.
