Fantastic time on the Clutha. - Apart from slight confusion as to where we were meant to meet (I had 3 options in my mind, and only one was right) it was perfect. Parking was easy. Clothing recommendations spot on. The life jacket fitted. We walked all of 10 yards and climbed on board. The craft was for up to 9 guests and a driver. We had Pat and 8 guests. We had a short safety briefing and then off we went. Pat was great. Interesting, funny, and a really good driver. He knew the river and his boat intimately. The driving skills displayed were great. He also took out time to include the little person on board. If you want to be up close and personal to most of the action, sit on the right hand side. You will get wet and feel that you are going to clip the bank/trees etc. but you won’t. We had a great time.

Exhilarating to say the least but it was also fun and interesting. - The trip was a fantastic experience indeed. The ‘Captain’ Pat was very professional and was very knowledgeable about the area pointing out points of interest along the route. We even saw trout swimming down stream. With the current.

Fun pilot and exilarating ride. - Pat, our pilot was great fun which made the trip even better. River was high but still exilarating. Loved the spins and the talks during the ride were very informative. Would highly recommend.

“Thrills and History on the Water with GoJet Wanaka” - We had an amazing jet boating adventure with Pat from GoJet in Wanaka! The high water levels made things a bit trickier, but Pat worked hard to make it a thrilling ride, finding branches and tight corners to swerve around when the giant boulders were underwater. His efforts to keep us on edge were much appreciated! Beyond the adrenaline, Pat shared plenty of fascinating local history and colorful stories about the river, taking us back to the days of the gold rush and beyond. We can’t recall exactly how long the tour lasted, but it was the perfect amount of time—long enough to feel like great value and packed with excitement. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water filled with exciting 360° spins, heart-pounding 180° turns, and a dose of Wanaka’s history, this is the adventure for you!
