Highlights
  • Fiordland - Begin your tour at our office to get fitted for your bike and helmet plus a spray coat and life jacket.

Take a short bus ride to the boat ramp where you’ll board the boat with ease thanks to convenient ramps. After a short safety brief it’s time to hit the water!

Travel down the Upper Waiau River with crisp air rushing by, crystal-clear waters below and stunning views all around. Pause along the way to learn about the area and it’s rich history, have some laughs, spot trout, re-imagine Lord of the Rings from 3 film locations and listen to native birds as your driver quiets the engine. Enjoy plenty of photo opportunities plus high-speeds and spins - which are great fun for all!

Emerge onto Lake Manapouri and embrace the silence while surrounded by towering mountains and a view that will leave you speechless.

Disembark into the National Park for a short guided nature stroll among native flora and fauna.

Jump back in the boat and head back up river for more FUN!

Back at the boat ramp your bike will be waiting to travel the designated cycle trail 10km/7mi along the river’s edge back to Te Anau’s town centre. The trail is well-formed and just requires a moderate level of fitness.

Lake2Lake there and back - The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They outfitted us with nice warm jackets, beanies and even gave us sunglasses if we didn’t have any! Our driver was Lex and was exceptional. He made the trip fun, informative and did plenty spinners for the kids! The trip down the river was beautiful! From Te Anau to Manapouri it was clear waters and beautiful forest. Bonus was seeing some Lord of the Rings locations! Then we decided to take the bike trip back on the Lake2Lake trail, which was an awesome option. We got some exercise and some extra beautiful views of the river.

Great fun but also informative trip. - Had a great time. We are a retired couple from the UK and booked the trip spontaneously. We had some concerns beforehand about the speed of the boat but our guide Lex was very reassuring and indeed made the experience fun, informative and ensured that we all felt safe. It was very enjoyable and we are so pleased that we booked.

100% quality-safety-price-pleasure - On February 14, 2024, we took the combined ticket with the jetboat ride and the return by electric bike but were not sure we would like it. The day was great. The team is very dynamic and it is the complete opposite of mass tourism. We were full but only 10 on the boat. Whether it was Chris, Abby or our TOP skipper Alex, they gave us many explanations and prepared some good surprises for us. Everything is planned in detail. Well done and thank you to all 3!! I highly recommend. 100% quality-safety-price-pleasure. Nathalie

A must do in Te Anu - This is a must do. The jet boat ride is not crazy, but lots of funny. Scenery was spectacular. Lots of stops along the way for photos and information. The short forest walk was interesting and informative. The guide gauged the comfort level of the group when he did the spins in the boat and we all wanted more! I also recommend getting the bike and doing the longer ride. We had e bikes which I would highly recommend unless you are a serious cycler as it is hilly. But the views are amazing. All the staff were terrific.

Great trip! - Such a great trip! A nice mix of adventure, information about the area and then a finish of with a bike ride back to the city. We opted for the standard bikes and took the ride down to the swing bridge and then back to the city ending up with around 24km. The regular trip is 10km from the place where the tour end. Definitely worth it for people looking to get out in the nature! If you like to be active go for the bike ride and spice it up with the trip all the way down to the swing bridge, eat your packed lunch and ride back!

A must in Te Anau - The jet boat ride is highly recommended. The owners and all the staff are very friendly and have a typical New Zealand sense of humour. We had a lot of fun from the briefing for the boat ride to returning the bikes. Making the return journey by bike on the Lake2Lake Trail (with an extra loop towards Manapouri) was a very good decision. Many thanks again to the team at Fiordland Jet.
