Embark on the ultimate, premier whitewater jet boating experience with Rapids Jet, as we navigate the powerful rapids of the Waikato river.
Don't miss New Zealand's best white water Jet Boating experience!
Blast through narrow canyons, and speed over the crystal clear waters of the upper Waikato River. Experience the thrill and manoeuvrability of this impressive watercraft as your jet boat negotiates tight spins and takes on the Nga Awa Purua Rapids with full V8 power and aggression; surfing the pressure waves and ripping up and down the white water.
The scenery on the river is spectacular and there is ample time to enjoy your amazing surrounds while learning about the wildlife and history of the area.
Rapids Jet is set in the beautiful Aratiatia Scenic Reserve just 15 minutes drive north of Taupo and 50 minutes south of Rotorua and is guaranteed to get the blood pumping.

Must do… highly recommend…
This experience was awesome so much fun laughs and thrill. The guides were awesome we felt safe the whole time and enjoyed every second. Will be back for sure 👍
That boat has some power was awesome, Jacob the driver had good banter and would do it again for sure
Last day in Taupō before heading to Auckland and booked Rapids jet. So glad I did it. Our driver Jacob was great and very informative about the local area not bad with the jokes too 😝 From one satisfied Aussie - Thanks for the experience.
