In New Zealand Jetboating is Big. Everywhere you go you will find tour operators, each having a different aspect of jetboating from gorge white water to shallow shingle braided rivers.

Scenic boat cruising and jet boating on rivers are among the most popular activities of international visitors attracting some 340,000 participants per year. Foreign tourism is estimated to contribute some $3.6 billion to the New Zealand economy a year and is projected to grow from nearly 1.6 million visitors in 1999 to over two million by 2004.
