Highly recommend

We had Sam as our driver and he was great! The girl who helps out with the life jackets was awesome! Great yarns. The spins were so much fun. For anyone coming to Queenstown would highly recommend!

Hi Katie, thanks so much for your awesome review! We’re stoked to hear you had such a fun time out on the water with Sam and our crew. Great to know you enjoyed the spins and the banter too — we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the team. Thanks for recommending KJet!

A must do!

We mistakenly went to the wrong departure point, and the crew were so lovely about making sure we could still have our experience! The views, the humour and the skill of our captain were all top notch! This deal is great value for money

A great activity!!

We had a great experience at KJet! Our host and driver Anton kept it interesting and fun. He was great! We had a great time and would definitely go again if we came to Queenstown again

Worst experience due to weather

Due to rainy weather, it was worst experience. Surprisingly, Kjet did not cancel and refund the booking inspite of having such bad weather. On one on the boat seems enjoying this weather and everyone was just escaping the rain. Seems Kjet team is aware if this trip is worth of 150NZD when it is rainy season, they did not provide gear like gloves and rain coat/similar to protect from rain.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the rainy weather affected your experience. As KJet is a water-based activity, we operate in most conditions, and getting wet is part of the fun, regardless of the weather. We highly recommend guests wear warm and waterproof clothing, especially on wet or cooler days. For those who don’t have their own, we have ponchos available to purchase at check-in for $5.

Wakatipu lake and Kawarau river jet

Very exciting! There were high water after raining so we couldn't go to shotover river. The lake and river were beautiful. The spin was quite fun.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you still had an exciting ride and enjoyed the beauty of Lake Wakatipu and the Kawarau River. High water levels can sometimes prevent us from accessing the Shotover River for safety reasons, but it’s great to hear you still found the spins fun and the experience worthwhile. We hope to welcome you back again!
