Jet boat combos around Queenstown cost $161.68 to $282 per person and run from 45 minutes to a full 8 hours. One pairs a jet boat ride on the Kawarau River with Grade 2 to 3 rafting, one adds an eBike ride, a zipride and wine tasting to the Shotover Jet, and one packs jet sprint boating and off-roading into 45 minutes. All three run subject to conditions.

What Is Included And What Should I Check Before Booking?

Each trip bundles its stated legs: the rafting combo runs a jet boat to the Kawarau put-in before Grade 2 to 3 rafting; the Shotover day covers the jet ride in the Shotover River canyon, a self-guided eBike route of 34 to 40 km on the Queenstown Trails, the Kawarau Zipride with Swing and Bungy upgrades available, and guided wine tasting at Mt Rosa Wines; the third pairs jet sprint boating with off-roading. The eBike day includes a shuttle from two Queenstown pickup points, the Oxbow day says transport is not included, and the rafting combo does not state pickup. Check the entry rules before booking: minimum age 13 for the rafting combo, minimum height 100 cm for the Shotover day and 120 cm for the Jet Sprint, with minimum ages not stated for those two, though the eBike day notes children 10 to 17 at the adult rate and youth 14 and under need an adult caregiver.
