This 1 hour jet ski Wanaka tour is suitable for couples, families and friends of all skill levels - no experience required!
Jet ski tours in Wanaka are the perfect way to create entertaining and unforgettable memories on your New Zealand holiday. After your initial safety briefing, you will soon be cruising past iconic Wanaka landmarks, including the famous Wanaka Tree and beautiful Ruby Island.
