Kawarau Jet Rotorua

Hop in and hold on for an adrenaline blast with the world’s longest serving jet boat company. Experience the legendary Hamilton Spins, they’re fantastic!

If ever a tourism operator lived up to its catch-cry of speed, spins and adrenaline, it’s Kawarau Jet. You only have to look at the smiling faces of passengers when they get off the big yellow boat to know they’ve had an awesome experience.

With a wide range of exhilarating and inspiring activities to choose from we offer something for everyone.

Get yourself prepared for 30 minutes of speed, spins and adrenaline. A classic blood pumping thrill ride on Lake Rotorua.

Take a high speed adventure across Lake Rotorua, through the Ohau Channel and onto Lake Rotoiti before a relaxing soak in the Manupirua Hot Pools. This tranquil location is accessible only by boat so a great way to get away from it all for a couple of hours.

For a combination of high speed action and pure tranquility then a trip to Hamurana Springs should be on your itinerary. Thrills on the water followed by a leisurely stroll to the crystal clear spring – what more could you want?

If none of these options suit your timeframe or requirements – let us know what you want. We will do our best to accommodate your needs and design a trip especially for you.

    This was a fantastic experience - I've never had so much fun on the water in all my life.

    The crew were really friendly and although it was a bit "scary" it never once felt unsafe. A real adrenalin rush. Thanks Kawarau Jets - you were fantastic !!

    We spent 2 weeks touring the north island and loved the jet boats so much, we called in at Rotorua again on our way back home.

    So we did it twice!! The driver (Ross) was very knowledgeable about the region and the maori heritage of the area. We got some splashes and heaps of spins - we both just loved it! Thanks Kawarau Jet for a great end to our holiday! We have told everyone about the jet boats, I'm sure they're sick of hearing about it! We recommend this trip to everyone!

    My husband and I decided to take a ride on these big jet boats.

    It was fantastic, there was over 20 people on board . They said they had 2 engines with big v8's. What power. The trip was fast and very exciting .The driver what a scream, but we did learn some history as well. The spins finished it off. Such great value for 30 minutes. I would recommend this to any one

Totally recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience New Zealand with that added touch of adrenaline rush - thank you Kawarau Jet Rotorua - see you again soon!
