Description

Let Goldfields Jets take you on a jet boat ride on the mighty Kawarau River to experience a real rush! Your friendly driver will greet you and take you through a full safety briefing before heading down to the river to board the high spec, purpose built V8 Jetboat. Your driver will take you on an adrenaline packed ride down the braided waters of the Bannockburn Arm at awesome speeds. As you power upstream through the narrow Kawarau Gorge you will race past canyon walls before finding yourself at the Staircase rapids.
