Thrillseekers seemed to have a good little setup, however not quite as big an outfit as some of the Queenstown companies. As a result, activities don't run the entire time and are dependent on when staff are available. The jet boating was still fun, and the driver was helpful as a tour guide as well. Great staff, as friendly as... More

Bringing my two sons along (aged 8 and 6) I was looking for a place to go rafting with the boys. Most rafting companies throughout New Zealand do not allow kids to go at that age, but at Thrillseekers we succeded. The river was not difficult and the rafting was a fantastic experience for the boys. The return trip to... More

We both really enjoyed this and our guide for the trip was a great guy called Graham. He took great care of us on our rafting trip and was very informative with a cracking sense of humour. He asked if we wanted to pull the raft to one side and jump into the river off the rocks which we did... More

My husband and three boys went on the two hour quad bike ride, and they all had a blast. Came back smiling, laughing and dirty. They were the only ones on this trip and all thought the guide was great. More

We had a great time doing the jet boating. There were 6 in our group ranging from the 71 year old grandad to our 4 year old daughter. The driver was amazing, so friendly & full of interesting information. My only gripe is the gravel road walking down to the jet boat, my mum & 4 year old both fell... More

Did the jet boating down the beautiful Waiau River. Thought the family price of $299 was good value, compared to other activities. Was enjoyed by all. Our 13 & 11 year old boys loved the 360° spins. Thanks to Darryl our friendly & funny driver. More
