  • Canterbury Region
    Lift off from our Christchurch base, heading west toward the dramatic Southern Alps. Flying over the shimmering braided shallows of the mighty Waimakariri River, following the river’s winding path into the spectacular Waimakariri Gorge. Towering cliff faces rise sharply on either side, and waterfalls tumble from ancient rock walls to meet the turquoise waters below.
  • Waimakariri River
    Touch down at the Helijet Adventure Park base, where your jet boat awaits. Then it’s time to ignite the adrenaline. Skim at high speed across crystal-clear alpine waters, power through narrow canyon corridors, and experience exhilarating Hamilton turns that send fans of spray across the river’s surface. Feel the raw energy of the river as Your expert driver navigates tight braids and sweeping bends beneath the rugged peaks of the Southern Alps. This 30-minute adventure safari blends heart-racing excitement with breathtaking alpine scenery, a sensory experience as much as an adrenaline rush.
  • Canterbury Region
    After exploring deep into the canyon country near Springfield (Tarewa), lift off once more and take to the skies, soaring back across the river valleys to Christchurch.
