Jet boating on the Waimakariri River
Once the engines roar to life, you’ll feel the surge of adrenaline as the jet boat powers through narrow channels and around sharp bends. The sheer speed and agility of the boat create unforgettable thrills, matched only by the breathtaking river scenery. Every twist in the river offers a fresh rush of excitement.
For a different kind of thrill, you can opt for the airboat, gliding over shallows and gravel beds with ease. This unique option gives you a fresh perspective on the river’s changing landscapes. The return helicopter flight then allows you to relax, taking in the vast Canterbury Plains before landing back in Christchurch.
