Where the road ends, we're just getting started.

We're the only jet boat licensed to the base of Tititea / Mt Aspiring and its glaciers โ€” glacier-fed water, ancient forest and big alpine country, deep inside a UNESCO World Heritage national park. No crowds. No queues. Just you, the river, and a guide who calls this valley home.

Our signature half-day (about 4 hours) suits most ages and fitness levels โ€” the guided wilderness walk is relaxed, and littlies from age 4 are welcome. Five ways into the valley in all, from that half-day to the everything-day.
