Must do if in Wanaka - Has been the absolute highlight of our trip to NZ so far!!!! Couldn’t keep the smiles off the kids faces on the boat and the scenery throughout the whole trip is stunning! It was made even more special by the guide (Brent) and his genuine enthusiasm and passion for adventure. Highly recommended!!!

A Brilliant Tour! - The jet boat tour up the Matukituki River valley was more spectacular than we could have imagined. A great way to view the surrounding snow-capped mountains and many waterfalls. The in-between hike was beautiful and unique with more hidden waterfalls. Dress warmly and wear sturdy, waterproof hiking boots, though, as a bit of crossing gentle brooks is also included. The visit to Wanaka, a small tourist town, is also recommended.
