discovery jetboat

An adrenaline-pumping experience you'll never forget! Jump aboard the Discovery Jet and blast along Canterbury's ever-changing Rakaia River.

Discovery Jet operates every day from Rakaia Gorge, weather and river conditions permitting.

About the trip

The ride is very scenic, with as many calculated twists, turns and spins as customers want!

There are stops along the way where your driver will talk about the area's tourism, history, flora, fauna, geology and local personalities. 


Trips vary from shorter rides to full-day charters. We can tailor-make a jet safari for you.

Some examples of trips we offer include: 
  • A foot-to-the-floor adrenaline-pumping ride
  • The double thrill of a heli-jet combo
  • Being taken to fish remote stretches of the Rakaia
  • A jetboat photographic safari

What to bring

  • A camera for fantastic photo opportunities
  • Sunglasses, sun cream and a warm jacket, as well as hat and gloves if you feel the cold

Life vests are provided. 

Where to find us

We are based on the north side of the Rakaia Gorge bridges (the other side of the river to the Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground). There is a riverside car park from which you can walk to the river's edge where you will find our yellow Discovery Jet boat.

More information 

Bookings are essential.

Contact us directly on 0800 JET BOAT (0800-5382628).

We look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions feel free to call and ask.
