Enjoy an action packed half hour of jet boat thrills around Lake Rotorua!
Feel the rush of adrenaline as our V8 engines blast you over the water up to 85 km/h, and our experienced drivers throw the boats into 360° spins. Visit iconic landmarks around Lake Rotorua, and learn the history of the area, the people and the events that have shaped this special place into the cultural capital of New Zealand..

We scored an awesome deal through Bookme — it was super easy and quick to use. The experience itself was so much fun, and the facilitator was absolutely hilarious and really entertaining. We’ll definitely be making this a must-do on all our future trips to Rotorua. 10/10!
