Jetboat Picnic on Makaroa River

Twist and turn at turbo speeds down the Makaroa River, for a jaw-dropping journey that will have you laughing out loud in exhilaration and excitement.  

The day will begin on a private jet boat that will swerve and skid from side to side, throwing up the fresh spray of crystal clear water. After your rip-roaring ride, when your need for speed has been fully satisfied, your captain will come to shore to let you stroll on a secluded beach of shale. 

Suitably stretched and refreshed, you’ll be guided to your host Harvey Hutton’s farm for the remainder of the day. Prepare to be fed and fawned over, with his famed homemade barbecue cooking up some sizzling steaks and splendid seafood.
