New Zealand Jet Boating Thrill

A New Zealand jet boating experience will pump your adrenaline levels to the max and pound your senses numb like never before. Come experience it for yourself and you will not regret it one bit.
Welcome to the adventure world of New Zealand Jet Boating! The thrill of jet boating along the white water rapids of Canterbury is something you would not have experienced before. Your adrenaline gets pumped to the maximum spiralling you on to a healthy high you would never have imagined possible.

The striking design feature in a jet boat is the absence of an external propeller which is replaced by an internal propeller called impeller. The water is sucked in through inlets at the bottom of the boat. The impellers then drive the water out with great force through nozzles at the rear of the boat. When the nozzles rotate simultaneously during this process, it enables the boat to change direction.

In the absence of external propellers and the ensuing damage to them, the improved clearance under the boat enables the jet to be reversed instantly for quick braking. This instant response causes the boat to do 360 degree spins effortlessly almost within its own length. You are certain to be drenched with every such spin.

This squirting out of water at high speeds just below the surface allows jet boats to operate in depths of just centimeters. This leads to a free for all adventure that will wrap you for the rest of your life and give you goosebumps when you recall the exhiliration and the euphoria of the whole jet boating experience.

The excitement starts the moment you are strapped into your seat and the driver takes off and increases the speed to pump up your adrenaline levels. The boat is expertly maneuvered in centimetres deep water putting the boat through its paces in terms of speed and endurance.

As the boat lurches forward in full speed, you can see the rocks fly past your face and you get drenched in the water that gets sprayed around. The best part about jet boating is that is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels and can be enjoyed all year round.

The most exhilirating jet boating rides in the South Island of New Zealand are found at the Kawarau and Shotover rivers near Queenstown. The Buller river near Westport, the Waiatoto river near Haast, the Wilkin river in Mt Aspiring National Park and the Dart river are excellent locations for jet boating.

In the North Island of New Zealand, the top jet boating locations are found at Waikato, Whanganui and Rangitaiki and Motu rivers. The Agrodome in Rotorua has sprint jets and so also at Waitomo. A trip to the Hole in the Rock is a great jetboating ride around the Bay of Islands in Northland.

If you want to travel extensively around the jet boating rapids of either the North Island and/or South Island of New Zealand, a Jucy New Zealand car rental or a Jucy New Zealand Campervan will be an ultimate necessity to help you travel around and enjoy the jet boating thrills that New Zealand has to offer.
