Superb fun and informative trip - Absolute must if visiting te anau - Amy and staff at HQ were so helpful friendly and informative- once we got to boat Chris was very informative, funny, caring and safety conscious. My husband has back issues - but was fine on this trip which was exhilarating and so much fun. The walk in the forest was so beautiful and information given on boat as well as journey too and from boat were great - what a great team! Thanks guys

New Zealand rocks and Fiordland jet is FAB! - OMG - I literally just jet boated down the GD Anduin, Chris was epic, a gentleman scholar. Historical, amazing pride of place, besides his pride in his business. Considerate of his clientele, funny-I LOVED IT!

DO THIS! Super fun and wonderful owner and crew! - Absolutely loved the jet boating and walk into the bush for a break. Super fun time and also the company people are super friendly and knowledgeable. Also learned a lot about the countryside, history, etc which was not expecting on a jet boat fun ride! Definitely recommend and loved this tour! Also you will visit LOTR film spots along the way.

Amazing and Memorable - What a memorable experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and clearly loved his job! The rest of the staff was friendly and helpful.. They have everything you may need - beanies, windbreakers, and sunscreen! I was a little nervous about the 360• spins, and they gave me good tips that helped me enjoy them completely. I highly recommend this activity!

Fantastic - What a brilliant trip this was, one of the best experiences of the many amazing experiences we had on our holiday in New Zealand. My wife was worried she would either get motion sickness or hurt her back so Phillip our driver went carefully at first. But after the first 360 degree turn she was grinning from ear to ear so no worries after that. The great thing about this trip was not just the speed and the turns although they were thrilling. But when Phillip cut the engine on the river or on the lake there was complete peace and silence. Phillip also pointed out some very interesting LOTR locations with film stills to demonstrate. Also the walk through the rainforest was very interesting. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough, just do it, you won’t regret it.

Irritating driver/boss spoils boat trip through nature - The ‘jet’ trip through beautiful, pristine NZ nature was, for me, spoiled by the annoying, intimidating, sexist and pseudo-funny driver/boss Chris! Even during the few moments of silence, on the water, or during a brief walk in the forest, he refused to keep his trap shut! The boats go so fast you just hang on and can hardly experience the beautiful nature, with irritating, last-second, high-speed ‘dodging’ of rocks and tree trunks and far too many silly ‘spins’. If you enjoy this sort of thing, you should by all means do it… If you want to enjoy the river, lake and forest environment properly: stay well away!
