Energy Jet NZ
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Travel up the stunning Hurunui River gorge on a 30 minute return trip with Energy Jet, which is owned and operated by Tim Loughnan, a fifth generation sheep and beef farmer in the area. Tim expertly navigates Energy Jet's late model Kwikkraft jetboat through shallow river braids and dramatic canyons at heart-pumping speeds, with 360-degree spins and drifts thrown in for good measure. Enjoy commentary from Tim about the interesting history of Hurunui River and North Canterbury as you occasionally pause to soak in your surroundings. The Hurunui River is the smallest volume river commercially jet boated in Canterbury. This results in a stunning combination of shallow river braids, beautiful canyons and large boulder fields that you will experience on every energising trip. Experience all that the beautiful Hurunui has to offer with Energy Jet.
