Goldfields Jet is a fantastic activity for friends & family wanting to discover more of New Zealand's gold mining regions, just a 1 hour drive from Queenstown.
Upon arriving, your friendly Goldfields Jet driver will take you through a full safety briefing before boarding the high spec, purpose built V8 jet boat.
