If you are travelling as a large group – extended family/friends or work colleagues, talk to us today about our group booking options. We offer flexible trips and can work with you to put together something unique and extra special for your group.
We are owned by Ngāi Tahu Tourism, who are one of the largest tourism operators in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Manaakitanga (hospitality) is one of the core values that drives the way we do business. As hosts, we care for our customers and our team as whānau (family).
If you are looking for an adventure activity suitable for a large group, with a wide range of ages, interests and abilities, both our Funyaks Trip and Wilderness Jet are ideal options.
The Wilderness Jet trip is not your typical hard and fast jet boat ride. We offer a guided experience which will connect you to the landscapes, culture and history of the area with the fun factor of a jet boat added in!
The Funyaks Trip combines the exhilaration of the guided Wilderness Jet boat, with a serene downstream paddle giving you a chance to sit back, relax and really take in the spectacular scenery. Get up close and personal on our easy to use Funyaks (inflatable canoes) - explore hidden side streams, an ancient chasm and take in the beauty of the native flora and fauna. The Funyaks trip is not strenuous or difficult, with the river current assisting the paddling most of the way.
If you are travelling as part of a group of 10 or more, or are interested in bringing your school group to Dart River Adventures, get in touch with our team to arrange a quote and manage your reservation.
Our Dart River Adventures team love to create extra special, bespoke experiences, whether it be for a milestone birthday, family celebration or special surprise. We offer highly customisable exclusive trips, and we can work alongside you to put together an experience loaded with special touches and hidden surprises along the way!

We were lucky with the weather and we had a fabulous day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience including the lunch and our driver Bill was very knowledgeable and interesting.

What a fabulous wilderness experience. Travelling in large comfortable jet boats, we were taken into Mt Aspiring National Park, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage area. It was definitely the highlight of our group’s annual Christmas escape.

We booked our Christmas day out and had the most fantastic time. The guides were so knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour, and the scenery is just EPIC! Jet boating in the Dart River and then Funyaking back down has to be one of the best ways to spend your day!
