Amuri Jet and Hanmer Springs Attractions both operate jet boat rides on the Waiau River Gorge around 9km south of Hanmer Springs.
Amuri Jet
Amuri Jet has a selection of trips covering different areas of the river as the experience can be quite different whether you’re speeding down the gorge or going over shallow water in the braided section of the Hanmer Springs Basin.
Hanmer Springs Jet (Hanmer Springs Attractions)
The jet boat rides run by Hanmer Springs Attractions (formerly Thrillseekers) give you only one option, but it showcases the full range of what jet boating is all about including 360º spins, narrow gorges, white water rapids and the shallow water of the braided section of the river.
