Our jet boat tour is the longest ride in the region, which is perfect for those looking to take their time to see the sights and truly immerse themselves in the natural beauty. Dart River Adventure’s knowledgeable guides lead our eco tours with passion and authenticity. Their stories bring the scenery to life—from Māori legend to the area’s Greenstone trail—there is something to learn around every corner.
The ever-changing environment makes every trip unique. With daily and seasonal changes to the flora and fauna, colour of the bush, river structure & colour, water clarity, birds, wildlife, and snow level, returning for a second adventure can mean you explore a whole new world.
