“Hukafalls Jet get right up there - close enough to feel spray on your face!”

Huka Falls is a thundering 11-metre high waterfall and the most visited and instagrammed natural attraction in New Zealand. The sheer volume of water flowing over the falls is insane - 220,000 litres per second, which is enough to fill one Olympic sized swimming pool in 11 seconds! The half-hour jet boat ride of thrills (and spray) takes you along the Waikato River, lined with native bush, sheer rock cliff face and hot water streams. The jet boats move at an incredible 80km an hour and along the way bust out thrilling (handle gripping) 360 ° spins.

Operating on this stretch of the river since 1990, Hukafalls Jet has an outstanding record of professionalism and safety.
