About Hukafalls Jet
Hukafalls Jet is Taupō's iconic jet boat operator and the only company permitted to take passengers right to the base of the mighty Huka Falls. Established in 1990, they have grown from a one-person operation into a gold-certified Qualmark New Zealand service provider, recognised as one of the North Island's premier adventure experiences.
The 30-minute jet boat ride covers a spectacular stretch of the Waikato River, reaching speeds of 80 km/h with trademark 360-degree spins and close encounters with the roaring falls. State-of-the-art jet boats carry passengers year-round, with multiple departures daily. Combo packages with Chris Jolly Outdoors add a scenic lake cruise to the Māori Rock Carvings for a full-day water adventure.
What sets Hukafalls Jet apart is that exclusive access to the falls' base — no other operator can take you that close to the thundering cascade of 220,000 litres per second. Their professional crew, modern fleet, and prime location at Wairakei Tourist Park make this one of New Zealand's must-do adrenaline activities.
