Jet Boating Wanaka

Do you wanna get wet and wild? No, we’re not talking about the theme park you visited on a family holiday in primary school. And no, this isn’t us trying to lure you into the bedroom. We’re not talking about a water fight, either. We’ve got something better than that – Jet Boating in Wanaka. This totally wild ride is guaranteed to get you wet, get your heart rate pumping and keep you screaming for more. 

Everyone knows that you’ve gotta risk it for the biscuit. Sometimes the best things in life come from pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and having terrifying experiences. You can expect changes from doing the same thing. Ya know, all that jazz. While most people probably use these cliches in relation to going for a new job, asking that girl at the bar for her number or learning a new language, we’ve got a better idea – Jet Boating.

This action-packed and adrenaline-fuelled activity is perfect for the thrill-seekers of the group as well as the nervous nellies down the back.

Wanaka is home to the iconic Lake Wanaka, which looks peaceful on first appearance but will actually leave you clenching onto your seat and masking your fear with a nervous cackle for the entire time. Rock up at the lakeside, and our expert team of boat drivers will run you through the basics. While they do go into some detail about what to expect, the quick summary is to hold on and HOLD ON TIGHT.

Your ride will start off with a gentle cruise across the lake, slowly drifting past the lush greenery and surrounding mountain ranges. But just as you get comfortable, your skipper will hit the fast-forward button. From sitting still to whipping around in circles in a matter of seconds, this ride is full of surprises. Just when you think you’ve got the speeds, turns and jolts all worked out, the skilled driver will shake it all up again. You can blame the wet patch on your pants on that big splash, but we all secretly know the truth.

Separate the boys from the men by the volume of their squeals and gather plenty of blackmail content for your best man speech with a Wicked Bucks jet boat ride in Wanaka.
