60 Minute Ecological River Cruises

Camjet’s Ecological River Cruise offers a scenic and customizable sightseeing experience along the Waikato River, showcasing the region’s natural beauty, native birds, bush, and geological features. The journey includes highlights such as the narrow Cambridge Gorge, hidden waterfalls, and views of the Karapiro Dam and power station. The ride is tailored to the preferences of guests onboard, including the speed and the option for slides and spins. An experienced driver provides full commentary and engaging insights into the river’s history and environment. Guests are encouraged to arrive 5–10 minutes before departure for check-in and a safety briefing, and optional photo and video packages from onboard GoPro cameras can be purchased before or after the trip.

Visitors should bring sunglasses and may choose to bring a rain jacket for extra comfort, while spray suits are provided to help keep everyone dry. For safety reasons, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times, and the experience is not suitable for pregnant women or individuals with head, neck, back, or hip injuries. Phones cannot be used while the boat is moving, though photos are welcome during commentary stops. Disclaimers must be completed upon check-in using a phone or a provided tablet if needed. Merchandise is available at the meeting point, making this nature-focused jet boat cruise a memorable outdoor experience for those seeking a blend of excitement, scenery, and ecological insight.
