DART RIVER ADVENTURES

Jet Boats

Experience a unique combination of breath taking scenery and exciting jet boating on braided, glacier fed rivers; a spectacular journey deep into the heart of the world-renowned Mount Aspiring National Park. With unrivalled access, they cover up to 90km of river on a trip, making Dart River Adventures the longest jet boat ride in the region. Trips are 2hrs long.

Funyaks

Combine wilderness jet boating with unique ‘Funyak’ inflatable canoes for a fun way to explore the Dart River as well as hidden side streams, rock pools and dramatic chasms. Stop and enjoy a delicious wilderness lunch before continuing downstream to Paradise, after which you’ll head home via 4 wheel drive coach to explore locations used in movies ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’.

Trips operate year round and all equipment is provided. Please note that due to weather and our ever-changing wilderness environment, every trip is different and we can’t always guarantee you will visit the same locations. The vistas are stunning everywhere you look so rest-assured you will always experience the beauty of this untouched paradise!
