Feel the rush as we hit 80km/h, jet spinning through rapids, narrow canyons, and hairpin turns on a 35-minute adventure surfing the powerful Ngā Awa Pūrua Rapids. Between heart-pounding twists, we slow to share stories of Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whaoa — a river of whakapapa and deep ancestral connection. Pure jet boating exhilaration meets rich culture.
