Details

Packages: The stunningly scenic jet boat tour departs from Pipiriki which takes approximately 45 minutes return trip. This tour takes you upriver to the famous "Drop Scene" area. The name originates from the musical hall days of the 1900's. This area consists of three (3) caves, two (2) of which are The "Puraroto" Caves & on the right side of the river is the "Dress Circle" Cave. We then go a further distance round the corner to the beautiful "Mangaio Stream", just upstream we then go into the "Ngaporo Rapid" which meanders it's path thru clay padded bluffs, travelling further upstream through some spectacular steep gorges and finally into the mouth of the "Manganui-o-te Ao River".
