Join us, the only operator on the Dart River, for a diverse adventure from Queenstown to the frontier township of Glenorchy at the head of mighty Lake Wakatipu and into the pristine Dart River Valley and spectacular Mt Aspiring National Park. Here you’ll explore little known areas inaccessible by other means and discover a unique and dramatic environment rich in both natural and cultural heritage and legend. If there is one Queenstown experience that delivers the diversity and essence of what is 'New Zealand' - it is without doubt an adventure with Dart River Jet Safaris.
Natural and Cultural Significance

Embark on a rare journey retracing the footsteps of the first Maori people of this land who discovered this rugged, beautiful and unique environment. Here they explored for food and discovered precious pounamu, (greenstone) which became highly valued for tools, weapons and adornments, and has since gone on to become a New Zealand icon. Nestled within the ‘great divide’ of the Southern Alps, this area is of natural and cultural significance and is fully protected as part of Mount Aspiring National Park.
