Conference Facilities...
Jet Boat World is more than a pioneering jet boat display. It's an environment to meet in a casual rural setting a world away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Seating for up to 50-60 around tables or 100-120 in cinema style with a centre stage area for presentations.
Team Building...
On water Alpine Jet Thrills can provide you with team building tasks that are unlike anything you'll experience in the normal work setting - testing everyone's mettle... and all in a low key relaxed environment, conducive to learning.
Within the walls of Jet Boat World there are more traditional facilities to explore the strengths and weaknesses of your team.
Taxi Service...
Looking to get the best from your rafting or kayaking experience? Our twin engine JetBoats have specially designed racks to carry 12 kayaks (and passengers) to anywhere in the Waimakariri Gorge. You can check out the river and rapids before you attempt them by kayak or raft.
We can also accommodate mountain bikers eager to explore some of the back blocks of this region.
