Thrills abound on this wet and wild ride up the Waimakariri River to the spectacular Waimakariri Canyon, where steep rock walls draped in thick native forest hem the river. Jet boats are highly manoeuvrable, enabling your driver to skim over rocky rapids, come terrifyingly close to canyon walls and perform 360-degree spins. Much more than an adrenaline rush, the trip upriver exposes the rich natural and human history of the Waimakariri, and the experienced guides are well versed in the area's folklore.
