Dart River Wilderness

From $319

This is one of the most mind-blowing, heart-pounding, and utterly epic half-day jet boat adventures to come out of Queenstown!

Brace yourself as you tear through the braided, glacier-fed Dart River, carving a path deep into the beauty of Mount Aspiring National Park – a  UNESCO World Heritage Area!

Dart River Adventures doesn’t mess around – they’ve got the longest jet boat ride in the whole region. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a journey for those who want to soak up every ounce of awesomeness in this jaw-dropping locale. Your time is precious, and this crew is here to make it legendary.

Picture this: you’re flying through the scenery that will make your heart skip a beat, all while your guides infuse the experience with their vibrant energy and historic tales of the area. We’re talking rich history, the Greenstone trail, and Māori legends.

Every adventure with the Dart River Jet crew is a one-of-a-kind thrill ride. The Dart River is a beast that changes its game daily – new plants and critters, trees bursting with different hues, and the water levels of the river dancing to their own rhythm.

This ain’t your grandma’s garden tour; this is the Dart River Jet Experience – a two-hour adrenaline-fueled escapade with morning and afternoon departures. So, gear up, get stoked, and let’s dive headfirst into the wild!
