About Fiordland Jet
Fiordland Jet (F-Jet) runs scenic jet boat adventures on the Waiau River and Lake Manapouri, departing from 84 Lakefront Drive in Te Anau. Threading the river that connects Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri through the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage area, the company offers high-energy boating paired with quiet nature walks in the national park.
The signature Pure Wilderness tour travels the Waiau River to Lake Manapouri and includes a guided walk into untouched beech forest, and has been rated among the best tours in New Zealand. A strong line-up of combos extends the day further: a River Bike Ride & Jet Boat trip returning via the Lake2Lake Cycle Trail, a HeliJet flight-and-boat package, the Jet n' Fly with seaplane operator Wings & Water, and a guided Kepler Track hike paired with a jet boat ride. Private charters and Kepler Track hiker transport round out the offering.
By combining adrenaline-charged jet boating with genuine wilderness access, Fiordland Jet gives visitors a fast and exhilarating way to reach landscapes most travellers never see. Experienced local drivers narrate the river's history and ecology between high-speed runs and spins, making it a favourite for families and thrill-seekers alike.
