Go Orange Jet Boat, Queenstown NZ
We had such a fantastic time out on the jet boat. The staff were friendly and professional from the very beginning and our driver, Dani, was fantastic with great local knowledge as well as clearly being a fantastic driver of the boat! Would definitely recommend as it’s so much fun
I had so much fun on the jet boat from start to finish! Crazy speeds, 360° spins, beautiful views and great staff! Special thanks to our driver Chris for being such a legend and to Elliot for his friendly welcome! I will definitely be back!
It was raining when we visited but didn’t let that stop us doing activities!
We chose the 25min tour, it was great fun and I am normally anxious on rough seas but not on this.
We did quite a few 360’s and a tour of the area as well. Got a bit wet but nothing too bad.
The teens loved it. Definitely a must when visiting Queenstown.
Did the 25 minutes ride which is fine to experience a jet boat but doesn’t go into any river gorge if that’s what you want. Absolutely loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat! Waterproof covers provided and all easily arranged and organised. Full on fun!
We did the 25 minute jet boat ride and it was amazing. Our guide Josh was excellent and really enjoyed the little details he added during the ride as well as the local information he provided. This was a great warm up to see if you can handle the hour jet boat ride. Highly recommend doing this and if you go during winter time to bring gloves!
Exceptional service! We got the days mixed up for our booking and they happily let us go the day after. Dannie who took us out was great! Thank you Go Orange :)
We loved this ride. It was a beautiful crisp day and so pretty. The staff at the kiosk where just lovely and very helpful when we wanted to change to an earlier time. The driver was very friendly. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you. :)
Beautiful scenery. The staff at the kiosk and the man in charge of the boat were very friendly and professional. Kiosk is in central Queenstown so very easy to find. Highly recommend.
Easy location down on the wharf.
Our driver was great. Felt safe and secure.
Exhilarating and fun!
Lots of beautiful views and you feel like you could almost take off!
We were looking at other jet boats and just couldn’t justify spending such high prices and were so happy with our go experience!!!
I could have easily done the 1hr!
I wasn’t totally keen to do this but decided to be a good wife and went along with a smile. It was super fun! A gorgeous sunny day- got a bit wet but only because of the turns! It was a blast and Tom, our driver was great! A gorgeous river fun and totally worth it!
We did the Jet Boat experience for an hour. It was great fun. Do yourself a favour and go. Super safe, super fun, lots of laughter and beautiful scenery. Could not recommend enough.
A great ride in windy conditions on lake Wakatipu and the river Kawarau. It could not have been better and more exciting Daniel the driver was excellent and we had a series of 360 high speed spins longside the 90 kph speeds. Well worth the monies spent.
I did the 25min boat ride yesterday and it was really cool! Fun, nice scenery and a super cool driver (Sam was awesome!!!). I highly recommend it for family who don't want something too scary but still fun and not too long!
The trip up the lake was really cool and the spins were fun as well. The staff were pleasant and fun to deal with.
Our first time on a jetboat was an awesome experience! Our skipper, Levi was great. He went through the safety instructions before we took off. He was funny and gave a hell of a ride with spins and turns that made the experience really memorable.
Fab way to see the outskirts of Queenstown via Lake Wakatipu and Shotover river and an area you would otherwise not see. Excellent mix of fun but also time to admire the beauty of the area. Very trusting and skilled driver :) must do in Queenstown!
I have never been on a boat like this before what can I say wow!! What a great adventure, the staff very helpful the driver of the boat very funny and made the whole trip fun. The boat was clean and well-maintained.
My partner and I went on a jetbot ride the past weekened and we loved it! If you're here in Queenstown for a couple of days and are looking for an activity to do but you're on a low budget, jet boat riding is totally reccommendable! It's affordable, fun and you get to see a bit more of Queenstown in a way that is otherwise inaccessible.
Harley was our driver asnd guide and he was amazing! He made us spin but checked on us everytime, he gave us interesting information about the area and was overall lovely.
Thanks Go Orange and Harley for the ride, it was great fun!
Now we know Why People say that you have not been in New Zealand unless you have tried a jet boat. It was a Fun ride and great on a sunni Day. Our driver was Levi and he was great Fun!

Why should I choose Go Orange Jet Boat?
Apart from the fact that we are awesome, our Jet boats travel further and cheaper than any other Jet Boat in Queenstown. Covering 44Km down the Kawarau River giving you that real wilderness experience. We offer a trip packed with famous 360 degree spins and navigate under not one, but two bridges. Our drivers are also pretty epic, spinning quality yarns and playing the best tunes.

It is not our intention to get you wet however we can’t control the weather and sometimes our spins can get a little powerful. Meaning you may experience a light spray of water but that’s why we give you spray jackets.
