If you love the outdoors and enjoy a lot of adrenaline!! Just do it !!! Pat was great and allowed us time to stop and enjoy the scenery to take photos or learn about the area. They were very accommodating as one of our girls had a physical disability and made every effort to make her feel safe and secure and not fussed over. Great afternoon had. So much fun!!!! Thanks Go Jet

Thoroughly enjoyed our Jetboat experience , lots of 360s and cruising around on the river along with commentary from Pat. Much longer than other tours offer and is nice being in a small group also. Highly recommend!

Pat was a very skilled and knowledgeable pilot and we had a great time while learning some 'fun facts' about the Clutha and surrounds. Would absolutely highly recommend this to anyone up for an adrenaline rush. Thanks to Pat, Tracey and Gabi for making our time with Go Jets Wanaka full of fun and lots of smiles in a spectacular part of NZ.

Patrick and his crew were very experienced and made us feel comfortable and safe, while having fun. The boat was clean and well-maintained. Patrick was knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of good information. The scenery was spectacular and the water was crystal clear. Patrick’s knowledge of the water was impressive. It was the right amount of time and the perfect balance of thrill. Patrick obviously loves his work! We can’t recommend this experience enough! Do it!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Sherri, i will pass on your kind words to Pat.
He certainly loves his job but more importantly he loves to share his knowledge of the area with our guests by giving them a lifetime memory.
