This is a must do if you are passing through Murchison.
It was a great experience and Mark provided information about the river.
We are early 60s so don't let age put you off, if you don't hop off the boat with a smile on your face you are not alive!

Awesome ride on the Buller River.
We had a marvellous time on the boat which is not all about speed, spins and shearing next to the rocks. Mack also explained about what effect the earthquakes have had on the river.
Glad you enjoyed the ride Wil and thanks for the comments Kind Regards Mark

Brilliant fun, and skipper Mark was great - skillful, knowledgeable and a good laugh.
Prepare to get wet (we got soaked! - thanks Mark ;) but it adds to the fun and was exciting. V8 Chevvy motor delivered the goods with fantastic speed and Mark used his knowledge of the river to the best effect. We were also lucky to see a huge wild brown trout, wild goats and a big hawk being scared off by a super-fast swooping falcon - and all the time being entertained by great driving, and lots of interesting tales about the local area. Fab-u-lous!!
Thanks Mark for the great review was great to have you on board and your right its a jungle out there some days Cheers Mark

Perfect mix of exciting adventure-ride, beautiful scenery and information about Buller River and surroundings.
Mark is "sweet as" ;) We had so much fun and highly recommend this attraction. Also much cheaper than jet-boat-rides in Queenstown.
Thanks Mate pleasure to have you along, all the Best Mark

We did this trip yesterday (5th Nov) after reading the reviews on Rankers and I can tell you, we weren't disappointed.
Everything about it was spot on especially the captain, Mark, who was funny, knowledgeable, safety conscious and an all round nice guy. He knows every bend, rock and rapid on that river and gave us a ride to remember. Thanks for the complimentary drink Mark!! (You have to ride to find out about that).
Haa Haa I remember the drinks trolly going around the crew ,thanks Maggie aqnd all the best -Mark

We were a family of 4 and had an amazing time.
Our guide Mark was very genuine and personable. Our boys will remember this adventure for the rest of their lives. The river was breathtaking and the history and information that Mark shared with us was excellent. Would highly recommend this adventure to everyone! Our boys thought Mark was "sweet as!"
Thanks for the review Corinne great to have you and the boys on board all the best Mark

Absolutely brilliant, four of us had an experience of a lifetime on a beautiful river in a great boat with an excellent driver and guide.
Mark went out of his way to make our experience exceptional, it felt just for us. Great information on the river and the area added to the trip and is one of our many highlights from our New Zealand trip and cannot recommend Buller Canyon Jet highly enough. Mark can expect more Aussies coming his way.
Wow thanks a lot for the great review it was a real pleasure showing you around and having a blast on the Buller

Mark provided an excellent ride.
I had an injury to my arm and shoulder and he was able to "adjust" the ride as to prevent further injury and not disappoint the other riders. We also had a bit of discussion about the boats power plant. Mark also provided a wealth of information on the Buller River Getting to the boat dock requires going over the swinging bridge. I made for a great experience.
Thanks for the review, glad you got the most out of our trip All the best Mark

Just Do It!
We’ve done other jet rides in NZ and Canyon Buller Jet shows them up as poor cousins! Four of us, aged 9 to 65 couldn't stop grinning after our Buller Canyon Jet experience, and we want to put the shout out to cyberspace so that more of those travelling to this amazing part of the world put this spot on their travel itinerary.
If you’re up for it, then be ready for more than just a spurt down the river and a few spins. Mark has you out on the water for 40 minutes of adrenalin pumping spins, hair racing rock face glides and when he takes the foot off the pedal he’s a wealth of information. Not only did we get to enjoy the scenery and heart stopping moments, we also learnt about the history of the area and everything that makes the Buller Gorge one of the most spectacular spaces we’ve ever seen in NZ.
If you’re looking for a jet experience that is pure NZ and SWEET AS >>> you have to stop at the Buller Gorge and take on the Buller with Mark.
Tip : the walk down to Mark and his boat is gorgeous, but a little steep, so make sure you’re wearing shoes that are going to give you some grip.
wow thanks for the mega review thats what really makes my day is seeing happy visitors to our area and taking away great memories- Kind Regards Mark

Mark Allen was an excellent driver, captain and fabulously fun !
Had an amazing day learning about the pink river rocks, pebble beaches and craved out landscapes due to his knowledge about the area. He really has a passion and while having an amazing adrenaline rush it was extremely beautiful and an education about the local area! It's the best thing you can do especially for the value ! Top notch day!! Thanks Mark
your welcome and thanks for the great review ,regards Mark

We'd rate it higher than 10 if we could.
The river is absolutely beautiful and the jet boat ride was all that could be expected and more. I can't talk Mark up enough, he has loads of experience, he loves the river, he went out of his way to make our time as enjoyable as possible...I could keep going but just save $5 to walk across the swing bridge and buy a ticket for the boat at the entrance, thanks for the highlight of our holiday from Paul and Vicki.
Thanks, thats what I love helping make someones holiday special Regards Mark

Our family had an awesome trip on the river with Mark.
Safely skimming speedily pass the overhanging willows and rocks was thrilling, multiple 360 spins got us all screamming with excitment, and the scenery is outstanding. We can definately recommend this attraction.
your welcome guys great to have you along regards , Mark

Wild, wet, full of adrenlin, great boat, loved the sound of the boat under full noise, sound of the Chevy V8 being pushed though the rapids, Mark knows his boat, knows the river, loved gets us wet going
though the rapids, the saftey of the boat and driver (Mark) was paramount, just fantastic, what a river (Buller) to go where very little people are to get too, and what a way to see this part of the World.
Thanks Mark.
nz's best kept secret, jet the Buller with the hammer down, thanks for commin along ,happy travells Mark
