Beach to Bay Jetboat Tour

Beach to Bay Jetboat Tour

A fast and thrilling jet boat ride across Lake Te Anau towards Dock Bay for an up-close peek into Fiordland National Park. From the moment the accelerator hits the floor, your adrenaline hits the roof for a ride full of spins, spray and laughs!

Speed across picturesque Lake Te Anau - the largest of the southern glacial lakes, surrounded by majestic mountains and ancient forests - it’s a seriously magical place. Legend has it that Rakaihautu, a legendary Māori leader, part of the first migrators to New Zealand, named the great lakes while exploring the South Island.

Marvel at the Murchison Mountains, which rise a staggering 1,400 metres above the lake surface as you skim across the pristine waters towards Dock Bay. Look across at the ancient beech forests that surround Lake Te Anau.

Your guide will fill you in on some fascinating New Zealand history. Get a taste of the past, as you learn about early European pioneers, as well as an introduction to one New Zealand’s pristine native forests, and world-famous walking tracks.
