We're the only jet boat company that takes you to the very base of Mount Aspiring and its surrounding glaciers, deep into the Matukituki wilderness where roads can't go. It's a true half-day expedition - jet boating plus a guided walk through rainforest and high country to a stunning waterfall, not a quick thrill ride. Small groups, with local guides who know and love this country.
