Moto Matahina River Jet

Motu River Jet

Experience one hour of awesome jet boating on the Motu River and view the majestic scenery from the base of the river up into the remote mountains, travelling through the last significant area of untracked native bush in the North Island. The Motu banks are covered with unique and rare flora amongst ancient Māori History. The river was the first in New Zealand to be totally protected by the New Zealand government conservation order.

The Motu River Jet Boat Tour offers access into the country's remote and unaltered native sceneries, which are rarely viewed. Our commentary offers the ecological and historical value of the river, with the added excitement of the adventure and wilderness of jet boating.  

We recommend that you book ahead so you don't miss out - especially in the peak months.
