This tour was a brilliant way to see some truly beautiful countryside. The bus trip from Glenorchy to Queenstown was a pleasant and scenic way to start the day, and then when we arrived the staff at the Glenorchy base were really helpful in getting us kitted out in wetsuits, boots and safety gear before we hopped on to the jet boat for a thrilling ride up the river which would have been a great day out just on its own. Switching across to the funyaks these were really enjoyable albeit sometimes being a little bit more work to keep on track, but our guides were very helpful with advice and encouragement for our journey back down the river and it was a lot of fun. Paddling through the gorge was definitely the highlight - it was stunningly beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. Would thoroughly recommend the experience, though next time would be more proactive with insect repellent to keep the sandflies away. Finally, particular thanks go to the staff both for their kindness towards the kids and for reuniting me with my phone after it fell out on the bus back to Queenstown.

A must do adventure when visiting Queenstown NZ
What an incredible day! The Dart River Canoe and Jet Boat Experience was everything we hoped for and so much more. From the moment we arrived, the whole operation had all the hallmarks of a first-class crew who genuinely love what they do and go above and beyond to make the day unforgettable.
A huge shout-out to our jet boat pilot, Nicki, whose skill, confidence, and professionalism made every high-speed turn and river run an absolute thrill. Chris and Anna were exceptional guides—friendly, knowledgeable, passionate, and full of great stories that brought this spectacular wilderness to life.
The combination of peaceful canoeing through crystal-clear waters and the adrenaline rush of the jet boat was the perfect adventure. Surrounded by towering mountains, ancient forests, and breathtaking scenery, every moment felt like stepping into another world. The crew struck the perfect balance between fun, safety, and adventure, making us feel completely looked after while delivering an experience we'll never forget.
If you're visiting Queenstown, don't miss this adventure. It's the perfect mix of excitement, stunning scenery, and outstanding people. An unforgettable experience with an exceptional team—highly recommended!

Jet boat Dart River and Funyak Adventure
Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip last Saturday 18th July. Our guides, Alex and Anna were great and also Josh our jetboat driver did some awesome 360's. The highlight was paddling into the Rockburn Chasm. Oh, and the lunch was very good and the bus drive in and out was good too. Thanks Toby.

Well done
A perfect autumn day with nothing but sunshine. Well organized, beautiful scenery, and a tasty lunch. The rockburn was absolutely stunning. Well done jet boat driver Andy, guides Anna, Ross and Matt. Don't fear being cold as the wetsuits and fleece will keep you warm.

Great day
This is a huge day but so worth it . Starts in Queenstown and they bus you out to Glenorchy. They kit you up in some warm / wet suit clothing. It was absolutely freezing today but with the right gear you get by. Jet boat and driver was great but I really enjoyed the funyaks . Tour guides were all fantastic.

Scenic, Fun, and Family-Friendly – A Must-Do!
We had such an unforgettable day doing the Dart River Funyak as a family, and the stunning sunny weather made it even more special.
From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organised. The jet boat ride up the Dart River was thrilling and a perfect way to kick things off—our teenagers absolutely loved it.
Once we switched to the Funyaks, the pace slowed down in the best way possible. Floating down the crystal-clear river surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Our guides - Anna and Alex - were friendly and knowledgeable.
The sunny weather really brought everything to life—the water sparkled, the mountains looked incredible, and it was just perfect conditions for a family adventure.
Highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area—definitely a highlight of our trip!
