Jet Thrills

Shallow twisting streams, Turquoise blue water, North-west arch, Swaying broom, the mighty Waimakariri has it all, and since 1984 Jet Thrills have been showing  thousands of international and local passengers what Jet Boating is all about!

Four tours are available 7 days a week from the exciting 30 minute ‘Braided Blast’ and the 60 minute ‘Blast Plus’, to the 90 minute Jet Trek an amazing combination of Horse Trek and ‘Braided Blast’ with Waimak River Horse Treks. If you want to get off the ground to see some more of the river and surrounding area then the Heli Jet is definitely the way to do it.

Jet Thrills operates daily from below the State Highway 1 Bridge, 15 minutes north of Christchurch.
