Hamilton Gardens 30 Min Extreme Tour

Embark on a thrilling 30-minute Camjet adventure departing from the picturesque Hamilton Gardens, where natural beauty meets high-speed excitement. This action-packed jet boat ride takes you along the Waikato River all the way to the dramatic Narrows Gorge before looping back to the gardens. Along the way, you’ll experience fast, adrenaline-filled slides, sharp turns, and exhilarating 360° spins—all delivered by skilled jet boat drivers who ensure both safety and fun. As you race through the water, enjoy full commentary highlighting the region’s hidden waterfalls, native birdlife, fish, and unique river features. Spray suits are provided to keep you dry, and optional GoPro photo and video packages are available so you can relive your adventure long after it ends. Guests are encouraged to arrive 5–10 minutes early for smooth check-in and a brief safety session before boarding.

This experience is designed for adventure seekers but comes with important considerations. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times around the river, jetty, and meeting point. The ride is not suitable for pregnant women or guests with head, neck, back, or hip injuries due to its fast and vigorous movements. While phones cannot be used during the ride, guests may take photos during brief commentary stops, and a tablet can be provided for completing required disclaimers if needed. To ensure comfort, visitors may bring a rain jacket and sunglasses, as the wind and water spray can be intense at high speeds. Merchandise, as well as optional trip photos and videos, can be purchased before or after the journey and are delivered via email. With spectacular scenery and heart-pounding excitement, this Camjet experience offers an unforgettable way to explore one of New Zealand’s most scenic waterways.
