NZ Riverjet – The Squeeze

Adventure Awaits with NZ Riverjet Through Tutukau Gorge

Looking for an adventure that combines speed, scenery, and exploration? NZ Riverjet takes you on an unforgettable journey through Tutukau Gorge, blending an exhilarating jet boat ride with a unique hands-on hike through hidden thermal terrain.

Begin with a Scenic Jet Boat Ride

Your NZ Riverjet adventure kicks off with a thrilling jet boat ride through the stunning Tutukau Gorge. Just as you settle in for a relaxing cruise, your driver asks you to step off the boat into knee-deep, warm water, and that’s when the real adventure begins.

Explore The Squeeze

Ahead, a narrow gap in the cliff marks the entrance to The Squeeze. From here, you’ll weave through tight crevices, climb over boulders, and wade through waist-deep thermal water. Because the path winds through such dramatic terrain, every step feels like a new discovery. Eventually, you’ll emerge into a beautiful stretch of native New Zealand bush.

Relax in a Natural Thermal Pool

Once you’ve made it through, take a moment to slow down and soak in a naturally heated bathing pool. Surrounded by native bush, this peaceful spot offers the perfect contrast to the excitement that came before.

Head Back for More Action

Afterward, squeeze your way back to the boat and get ready for another action-packed ride back through the gorge.

Good to Know

Children are welcome on NZ Riverjet tours, though they must be at least 6 years old and meet the required physical criteria. Departures run daily at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.

So, if you’re craving a mix of adrenaline, adventure, and natural beauty, NZ Riverjet delivers an experience unlike any other in New Zealand.
