This jetboat ride was fantastic! We went along the upper Waiau River from just outside TeAnau right up to Lake Manapouri. We stopped at a few places where some of the Lord of the Rings scenes were shot and other spots where we could just take in the silence and the fantastic scenery of the mountains and the river and...

Luxmore Jet is not your typical NZ jet boat ride. Yes, it goes very fast and there are a few spins, but that's not really the point of the trip. Its a great way to see the river (how clear is that water!)and learn a little about the landscape, as well as see a few locations from Lord of the...

Lex, the owner, was very informative and provided a lot of insightful info about the history, flora and fauna of the upper Waia river and lake Manapouri. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we got to stop by some of the locations where the 1st LOTR movie was filmed. Truly a value for money excursion into one of NZ's remote...

Had a great jet boat experience with Luxmore. Picked up from Top 10 campsite and driven the short journey to the launch area. Due to it being the low season we were the only 2 on the boat which was great and says a lot about the company that they are prepared to run the trip just for us. Mark...

My husband and I did this tour on the first day of our honeymoon, and we were thrilled with how it turned out! We were the only ones on the boat, so we got a great personalized experience. The jetboat goes down the Waiau River at about 60kph, which felt very fast, and who doesn't like riding down the water...

As a family of four we had the most awesome boat ride. Lex was brilliant; picked us up from our hotel, took us on the most amazing, scenic and value for money boat ride and spun the boat everytime our 9 year old spun her finger! Lex even lent us woolly hats, had so much information about the area and...
