FAQ's

KJet Jet boat trip

Q. What should I wear on the Jet boat?

A. For your comfort we recommend that you dress for the weather conditions on the day, keeping in mind that in our boats you will be travelling at 95kph and therefore the wind-chill can be frosty! Don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket, your sunglasses, (or goggles in winter) sunscreen, as well as hats & gloves in winter months. Please ensure your little ones are dressed especially warm.

Q. Can I take my bags on the Jet boat?

A. We are able to store backpacks or handbags. We do request that you please leave your valuables at home.

Q. Can I take my camera on the Jet boat?

A. On our trip there are many fantastic photo opportunities so YES, we’d love you to take your camera on board to capture these moments and share them. However, your camera is taken on board at your own risk, keep in mind with Jet boating there is the risk of getting slightly wet and we need you to be able to hold on to the hand rails, especially during our 360° spins. If you need more information about this please chat to our Reservations Team and Drivers when you check-in for your trip.

Q. Will I get wet on the Jet boat?

A. Part of the fun with Jet boating is the spray and drama! We recommend you wear a waterproof jacket. If you are really worried about getting wet then please request to our staff that you sit in the centre seats of the boat. Please note we can’t guarantee seating.

Q. What is your child age?

A. Our child age is 5-14 years. Our Infant age is 2-4 years and travel for FREE with an accompanying adult, as long as they can fit a lifejacket.

If for any reason, you are unable to get in and out of the Jet boat by yourself, you will need to have a support person with you to help you get in and out of the Jet boat. If you are unable to hold onto the handrail or brace yourself with your feet throughout the duration of the ride, you will need to have a support person travel with you.

A. Absolutely! We offer one-on-one coaching and tuition to help you hit the target and gain a skill in Clay Shooting! It is our promise that everyone will hit a target and have fun doing it! No previous experience is necessary – and often we have found people who have never shot before can still make our ‘Top Gun’ leader board!

Q. My friends want me to join them in the shooting, but I’m worried the gun will be too heavy and hurt my shoulder!

A. There’s no need to worry! We have carefully chosen the equipment we use! We use Beretta guns specifically designed to be used by both beginners and experienced shooters, with a specially designed recoil reducer and low recoil ammunition. In addition to the one-on-one coaching, we can ensure you will enjoy the experience!

A. Clay Target Shooting is a great family activity, although we do have a minimum size requirement. We suggest children be around 12 years of age, and recommend around 1.5m tall and weigh 50kgs. This is to ensure they are able to manage the firearm safely and of course enjoy the experience! Contact us to check suitability. We are unable to transport children who require a booster or car seat.

Q. The weather forecast for my holiday in Queenstown is looking terrible! Do you still go ahead in bad weather conditions?

A. We are not as weather dependent as some activities in Queenstown! It generally takes torrential rain, or a dump of snow to stop us getting up the hill to shoot some clays! In the event of bad weather, please call us if you’re unsure.
