Travel by jet boat into New Zealand backcountry for a day combining the river journey with a picnic.
Not many people know the jetboat was invented in New Zealand as a means to access the backcountry for farmers, hunters, fishermen and hikers. This safari which we developed goes back to the roots of jetboating for a spectacular, tasty, fun and very authentic New Zealand day.
We take you on the real thing, with an expert driver picking a complex route through shallows, avoiding boulders, gravel banks, trees and sometimes cattle!
Fly with a local pilot over Fiordland’s mountains, glaciers, beaches, lakes, waterfalls, and Milford Sound, with a wild-food picnic in a remote setting.
Learn about Māori kai with traditional food gathering and hangi cooking, hosted by Tom Loughlin.
Sail New Zealand waters including the Bay of Islands, Hauraki Gulf, Abel Tasman National Park, and Marlborough Sounds.
