It was our first experience with jet boat and it was amazing, the skipper has great ability to go between the cliff in very high speed. The river is wonderful. we came with two young kids (3.5 years old), they were probably too young for this experience, but the skipper (forgive for not remember his name) new to find the... More

NZ's longest swingbridge separates you from a thrilling long ride, 90kmph over rapids with at least a half dozen 360 turns - just do it, but hold on! More

As we were on a fairly tight schedule, we only stopped to check out the swingbridge, which is great too, but on the recommendation of another couple we decided to sign up for the jetboat ride and boy, are we glad we did?! It was brilliant! Mark, the owner/operator is simply excellent - very personable and technically outstanding - he... More

Been on one jetboat ride, been on 'em all right? Wrong! After spending weeks crossing beautiful, yet let's face it not very exciting braided rivers, I started my journey across Highway 6 with high hopes for 'The Mighty Buller'.....and the possibility of, at last, encountering a proper NZ river. I was NOT dissappointed. I only intended to cross the bridge... More

This our first jet boat experience in New Zealand and we'd do again in a heartbeat. The Buller Gorge is stunningly beautiful with its pink granite walls and green mossy-covered overhangs. Pilot Mark was a phenomenal -- gave us an exhilarating ride and during quiet moments of floating filled us in on the gold mining history and geology of the... More

This is one of the coolest things you could do! Love that roaring stroked small block launching you into a thrilling ride up and down the river! Wuhuu! What a ride it was! Excellent! Ask nice and Mark may pop the hood for you :) Thanks Mark! Jaakko & Pirita Helsinki, Finland More

Buller Gorge Jet Boat is a great value trip - $99 for 45 minutes up and down the Buller River - beats Shotover and Karawau jet for example. The expected speed and thrills but more so, informative and charismatic skipper, highly recommended. More

Mark our low level pilot with a great sense of humour ( said he likes Australians so he seated us where he could give us a good spray) gave us a thrilling ride, good local knowledge and also some quiet time to enjoy this remote and beautiful area. The enthusiasm and commentary from Mark made the experience sooo good. Take... More
