Rapids Jet

The Biggest Rapids for Commercial Jetboating in New Zealand!

The Jet Boat was originally designed by New Zealander Bill Hamilton in 1953 for operation in the fast flowing and shallow waters of New Zealand. The jet boat has developed into a Kiwi icon, and is a must do activity on your New Zealand holiday. Set in the beautiful Aratiatia Scenic Reserve is New Zealand’s best white water jet boat ride, Rapids Jet.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes drive north of Taupo and 50 minutes south of Rotorua, Rapids Jet operates on the biggest rapids for commercial jetboating in New Zealand. Shoot through a narrow canyon, be exhilarated by spins on crystal clear waters, spot a trout and surf the pressure waves of the awesome Nga AwaPurua rapids. Take time to view the amazing surrounds of Aratiatia Scenic Reserve, and learn about the wildlife and history of the area with your Kiwi owner/drivers Rusty, Jimmy and Gazza.
