Thunder Jet

Thunder Jet is Queenstown's big-water jet boat ride – a full-throttle blast from the lake into the Kawarau River, with wide panoramic views of the mountains. Your driver will hug the river's edge, within inches of trees and the shoreline, skim across shallows barely deeper than your ankle, and, just when you think you've got the rhythm, spin the whole boat through a full 360.
