Kiwi’s have always been keen on an adventure. That’s why some years ago it was a kiwi who invented the world’s first jet boat! We’ve taken this sense of adventrue and transformed it into the ultimate jetboat-adventure combo.

Sit back and take in the remarkable landscape, learn the history and legends of the area and enjoy an abundance of unique wildlife. Marvel at the 50 metre tall walls of the gorge and no visible houses for miles – only pure New Zealand landscape.

Just when you thought you had an easy day ahead, your driver asks you to disembark the boat into knee deep warm water. You will then head towards a narrow gap in the cliff face ahead of you and start the challenge of The Squeeze.

After manoeuvring your way through narrow crevasses, climbing boulders and wading through warm waist deep water, you emerge in stunning native New Zealand bush.

Immerse yourself in the environment and take the opportunity to soak up the atmosphere while relaxing in the thermal waters of a naturally heated hot spring. Two waterfalls cascade into the pool offering a serene and unique environment. Sit behind the waterfall and take in the refreshing spray.
