Dart River Wilderness Jet

cruise cruiseadventurescenicmust-do

Jet-boat deep into the braided Dart River and Mount Aspiring wilderness from Glenorchy.

Why go

The wilderness-and-scenery jet boat: vast braided-river landscapes and Lord of the Rings / Hobbit country you can't reach any other way.

Departing Glenorchy at the head of Lake Wakatipu, this trip jet-boats up the braided Dart River into the Mount Aspiring National Park backcountry — towering beech forest, glacier-carved valleys and Middle-earth film locations — usually paired with a short guided forest walk. It's a scenery-first ride rather than the pure adrenaline of the Shotover canyons.
