A Unique Wilderness Jet Boat Experience on the Matukituki River
Gateway to Mount Aspiring National Park

Wanaka River Journeys is a unique adventure jet boat journey on the braided and ever-changing Matukituki River which flows from the glaciers and mountains of the Mount Aspiring National Park.

The Matukituki River is one of New Zealand’s great jet boating rivers. Winding past Lord of The Rings film locations and watched over by Mount Aspiring and her Glaciers, this wilderness jet boating experience is one of Wanaka’s must do adventure activities.

During several scenic photo stops your guide will share with you stories of the past, of how these ancient lands were carved by ice and of the first peoples to come here. Enjoy a wilderness nature walk into native beech forest and an optional helicopter flight into the glaciers that overlook the Matukituki Valley.
Wanaka River Journeys is the ultimate combination of jet boating, guided wilderness walk, glaciers and scenic helicopter flight.

Nature as it has always been...
