Buller canyon Jet was Established in 2004 to provides the quintessential iconic Kiwi jet boating experience in New Zealand. Before the jet boating adventure starts on the Chevy powered V8 River Shark jet boats, guests are advised to walk over New Zealand's longest swingbridge. Built by the gold miners, it’s a massive 110 metres and crosses the mighty Buller River.
The top section is where guests can see the amazing 40,000,000 year old pink granite rock walls that form the shear sides of the canyon. While there, look out for rafters and kayakers amongst the white water as they paddle out of the Ariki whitewater Shute on the mighty Buller River, New Zealand’s favourite water playground.
There is nothing more exciting than big rapids, tight canyons and large rocks and that's exactly what guests get jet boating in the Buller Canyon. Feel the excitement of the big volume water as the jet boat powers its way through the Earthquake rapids where the river was blocked by boulders in the 1929 Murchison earthquake.
