Get ready for some heart-pumping excitement as you zoom through the beautiful Waimakariri River Gorge in a Hamilton jet boat, which makes navigating the shallow waters, sometimes only centimeters deep, a breeze. Your experience begins with a motorcoach ride to the Waimakariri River, one of Canterbury's famous braided rivers, with an intricate network of interlaced river channels. Only a small percentage of the world's river systems are braided, and the Hamilton jet boat was specifically invented for these shallow waterways. You'll be fitted with a life jacket before experiencing an incredible jet boat blast that, skimming over the water at tremendous speed, takes you past all the picturesque sites. This scenic ride goes deep into the heart of the Waimakariri Gorge, set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Southern Alps. Your day wouldn't be complete without experiencing the thrilling world-famous Hamilton jet spin so hold on to your hat!
