The jet boat is the mode of transport, the river safari is the attraction. The jet boat will take you safely up the river into remote back country. Touch and learn about the natural history of New Zealand's remote World Heritage Area. Your tour is operated by a family business, when you go on this tour, you arrive as strangers and leave as friends. There are many stops for commentary on the native birds, animals and forest of the South Westland region. A photographer's dream, stretch your legs at the top of the river for an optional forest walk into New Zealand's rain forest. Touch the ferns, listen to birds and spot the fish. Ideal for all ages and physical fitness. For infants to elderly, this is a must do, to explore the UNESCO World Heritage area-Te Wāhipounamu of South Westland, New Zealand.

Fantastic scenery and we had a great time. Ruth did everything, launched the boat, fitted the life-jackets, gave a very informative commentary had a lovely morning tea and got us safely back. No spinning high-speed 360's and exactly as advertised. We even had a sample of whitebait. Morning tea from the thermos with a scone while sitting in a quiet back-water out of the wind made the morning. Boat was easy to access and disembark. . Wear warm clothes although swandri's are provided if required. Good value for money

Wayne and Ruth Thankyou so much for our awesome trip today. We were looking for something a bit different and your trip was just perfect. Right down to the morning tea complete with the thermette, delicious scones and picnic hamper. Wayne you were a great skipper and very knowledgeable. The trip has been a highlight for all 4 of us. Many thanks Dianne P
