Hump Ridge Jet is one of New Zealand's most exciting adventures. A premier jet boat experience based in a land of untouched wilderness and breathtaking beauty. Aboard the Jet you will speed over Lake Hauroko and then dive into the intake of the Wairaurahiri River - one of New Zealands most remote and untouched rivers. Lake Hauroko is the deepest lake in New Zealand and is drained by the Wairaurahiri River, which falls 200meters to sea level and is 27 kilometres of grade 3 white water rapids. The river is commonly described as New Zealands longest waterfall. Unique and secluded, the river flows through Virgin Beech forest that is over 1 million years old. A spectacular jet boat experience that is an ultimate combination of thrilling jetboating and natural surrounding.

Along the way you will speed past bush clad banks and through rock strewn rapids. This is a journey deep into the Southern Wilderness of Fiordland. You also have the option of a short walk over the Wairaurahiri Swingbridge into the ancient temperate rainforest. When the South Coast is found at the end of the Wairaurahiri River, consider the option of trekking inland to view the mighty Percy Burn Viaduct or just sit back and take in the abundance of wildlife that is found on New Zealands South Coast.

Hump Ridge Jet has a number of flexible options to suit every adventurer - including a Heli-Jet option, shorter One Day jet boat Adventures and Two Day Adventures.

A specially designed and custom built jet boat is used to utilize the whitewater rapids of the river, providing fast yet safe transport.

Hump Ridge Jets invites you to come and discover New Zealand's last frontier. See the wild beauty of Lake Hauroko and Wairaurahiri River itself. Experiencing this unique untouched wilderness is a must.

Nothing you have experienced will have prepared you for the excitement of a Hump Ridge Jet Boat ride.
