Buller Canyon Jet Boating

The Buller Canyon Jet offers a thrilling 40-minute jet boat adventure on the mighty Buller River, departing from the Buller Gorge Swingbridge, 14 km west of Murchison, New Zealand. This exclusive experience is the only commercial jet boat operation permitted on this stretch of the river. Riders embark on a high-speed journey through pink granite canyons, navigating white-water rapids and drifting past waterfalls and native beech forests. The tour includes exhilarating 360° spins and opportunities to spot wildlife and explore the historic gold mining region.

The adventure begins with a walk across New Zealand’s longest swingbridge, spanning 110 meters over the Buller River. Once aboard the Chevy-powered V8 jet boats, guests experience the thrill of high-speed maneuvers in as little as 10 cm of water!
