Our take
This is an hour on Lake Wanaka by jet ski with a guide, leaving from LakeLand at 100 Ardmore Street on the waterfront. The listing says to allow 1.5 hours in total and check in 15 minutes early. Up to four people go out, and at least two jet skis must be booked for it to run. Drivers must be 18, or 16 with a parent or guardian; passengers start at 8. Life jackets are included.
It's a text link under the grid on our Wanaka tours comparison, with about 100 reviews close to 5. The listing shows hotel pickup and food and drinks without saying whether they're included, so ask when you book. Each jet ski has a combined weight limit of 230 kg, and you need to be comfortable floating in the water. No traveller video of this tour had captions.
Good for
- Confident swimmers who want to get out on the lake fast
- Parents and children 8 and up riding together
Think twice if
- You can't meet the two jet ski minimum
- Your pair is close to the 230 kg limit
