Loved this so much. Had a fabulous time on the river, loved the chatting, the 360 spins and the dynamite tree. Didn't know there were koi carp in the Waikato river. Don't know how he did it but although I was sprayed there was no water sloshing on the boat floor. Will definitely do this again if I have visitors.

Hi CamJet, what a great way to get to the Field Days. A friend, who goes every year, told us about it for this year (June 2026) which we thought a great idea so that we weren't parking miles away from the venue. The team were very polite, clear with instructions and made the process very easy. Also, a very refreshing way to travel. Highly recommend this..

We were lucky to book in at the last minute on a Monday morning and chose the 45 minute fast ride. If you haven't done a jetboat you just have to try it, and CamJet at Cambridge was a great choice of operator and location. Thankyou for a great experience.

Epic way to start the year back! We had an amazing experience with Camjet. Aaron was incredibly accommodating, we had a spins group and a non-spins group, so everyone felt comfortable and included. Both rides included an ecological tour with rich information shared along the way, bringing the Waikato River’s history to life. There was absolutely no pressure — just a relaxed, well-run experience with clear, prompt communication from start to finish. A brilliant mix of learning, connection, and fun. We would highly recommend Camjet to anyone wanting to better understand the Waikato River while having a great time on the water. 🚤🌿

We had a great experience yesterday with Aaron. I never realised what an incredible opportunity we have available on our doorstep to see our environment from a different perspective. This is not just something for tourists to do. Definitely recommend.
