Bucks Jet Ski Tour Wanaka

Tours around a new city are generally associated with family holidays, stuffy coach buses and screaming children. While they are a good way to tick all the local landmarks off your bucket list in one go, the atmosphere can be less than enjoyable. Wicked Bucks does things a little differently. We’ve combined all the best parts of a tour with our favourite mode of transport – a jet ski. Experience Wanaka as you zip across the water on your vessel. It’s almost too good to be true. 

As a lakeside destination on New Zealand’s South Island, Wanaka is practically synonymous with water activities. These sports are more than a hobby for locals, they are a way of life. One of the most popular options among tourists and residents alike is a good old joy ride on a jet ski. Sitting in the driver’s seat of your personal water vessel, you’ll be given a quick safety briefing by the professionals before you’re let loose on the lake.

We should warn you though these machines are no child’s play. The powerful engines can get you from sitting still to flying past in just a matter of seconds. The tour will take you through the glistening waterways of Wanaka and past the rugged mountain ranges and local landmarks. The year-round temperate conditions are the perfect backdrop for your journey and ensure that the water clarity is always top-notch.

While this is designed as a sightseeing tour of the region, you can step it up and challenge your mates to a little competition. Get the engines revving and slam on the acceleration, the last one there is a rotten egg. This is the ultimate way to put your video gaming skills to the test and prove that you’re the real top dog of the group. With the adrenaline pumping and a win on the cards, celebratory drinks at the pub afterwards are a must-do.
