Canterbury Jet Boat Tours
Hang on tight as our jet boat driver skillfully weaves the jet boat through the intricate network of braided river channels, skimming along stony banks and through gushing opalescent blue waters rich with salmon and trout on the Rakaia River.
Soak in the dramatic scenery as you journey through the Rakaia Gorge. Scrub covered hills give way to towering coal and limestone cliffs, in captivating hues of grey and brown, which have been carved out over millions of years. Spot shags sitting on top of cliffs and marvel at the grandeur of the snow-capped Southern Alps.
Our driver knows the Rakaia River like the back of his hand and will unveil to you all its treasures and provide you with access to spots others can only dream of.
If you would like time on your own, our driver can drop you off at one of the many remote islands or sandy beaches along the Rakaia River. Make your own fun or savour the tranquility and splendour of your surroundings.
