Speed in Jet Boats from Rubicon Valley
Come and enjoy with us an unforgettable jet boat ride.
We take you out in our jet boat on the clear, pristine waters of the mighty Waimakariri River, where it surges out of the mountains through a rocky gorge onto the edge of the Canterbury Plains.
For a full and exciting 20 minutes you race with us through the rapids and sweeping corners of the awesome Waimakariri Gorge.
Wild nature close-up
There are no roads or tracks here. We are alone in an untouched wilderness of rock and water. Surrounded by steep cliffs, tall mountains, forest and native tussock grasses.
This is a unique experience. Discover the splendor of Canterbury mountain scenery, then sit back and relax and enjoy our dog show, sheep shearing display and afternoon tea.
Easy to get to us
We are only a 50 minute drive from Christchurch, in the foothills of the magnificent snow capped Southern Alps, near Springfield.
