Discover one of North Canterbury’s hidden gems on the Energizer 30, a thrilling 30-minute jet boat adventure along the beautiful Hurunui River. As Canterbury’s smallest volume river commercially jet boated, the Hurunui delivers an unforgettable combination of shallow braided channels, dramatic canyons, and impressive boulder fields that create a uniquely exciting ride through pristine alpine scenery.

After a short briefing, climb aboard and set off with an experienced local skipper as they expertly navigate the river’s ever-changing twists and turns. Speed across crystal-clear snow-fed waters, weave through narrow canyons, pass beneath three bridges, and hold on for plenty of the famous jet boat spins along the way. There is also time to pause and appreciate the serenity, history, and natural beauty that make this stretch of river so special.

As the only jet boat operator on the Hurunui River, Energy Jet enjoys exclusive access to over 100 kilometres of spectacular waterways, showcasing stunning North Canterbury farmland and untouched landscapes that few visitors get to experience. Operated by a passionate family-owned business, the Energizer 30 combines authentic Kiwi hospitality, incredible scenery, and exhilarating action into an unforgettable New Zealand adventure.
