NEW ZEALAND WEATHER

The weather in New Zealand can be changeable, and experiencing four seasons in one day is quite possible.

Alpine Jet river base is situated 330 meters (1100 feet) above sea level and is located approx 50 km from the coast. Due to these factors we experience far more sunshine hours annually than the city of Christchurch - please keep this in mind when booking your jet boat tour.

The upper Waimakariri River is a safe and reliable river to operate on and is not significantly affected by the local weather. In fact less than 1% of our jet boat tours are cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.
