Fiordland Jet (FJet NZ) delivers a wild, exciting and authentic way to explore Fiordland’s remote landscapes. Their signature Pure Wilderness tour combines a 90-minute jet-boating adventure down the Waiau River with a 15-minute guided walk on the shores of Lake Manapouri and through ancient beech forest in Fiordland National Park. The journey includes dramatic high-speed stretches, spins, photo stops, and periods of silence, letting you absorb the solitude and beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage region.
For travellers wanting more, Fiordland Jet has a variety of combo and custom options — think seaplane flights paired with the jet boat for aerial views, heli-jet combos, or bike rides (such as returning via part of the Lake2Lake trail) to mix thrills with fresh air and scenery. The tours are family-friendly and small-group focussed (about 11-13 people per boat), to ensure more personal attention, safety, and connection with guides who are locals and love showcasing their backyard.
