Waterjet Propulsion boats were first developed in NZ by Sir William Hamilton who started out in 1939 at Irishmans Creek. They are the only way to get up the braided rivers of NZ.
...............considering that ALL of New Zealand has only 4,775,000 people in a country that's more than 100,000 square miles in size.................(8^)
I don't care if this is a year old comment! Theirs a company that offers rides through the mountains where Lord of the rings was filmed. 12 people in the boat, can travel on 30cm of water, the arsehole driving then decides to start doing 360's. The most amazing country I've ever been too
Listening to 1ZB talkback on that sweet headset radio while fanging a mini jetboat in literally centimetres of water. Entertaining! Love NZ. Scenery is amazing. Perspective works really well.
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
New Zealand, like most shitty countries in this overly-regulated world, requires a properly sized life jacket for every person on board.... considering the size of the boat, it's probably just as easy to wear it as stow it.
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks. 6:10 was so good.
A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.
Jet boating was crazy fun! Last summer or their winter, I went in the freezing cold and it was an amazing experience. What so cool is that the boat barely touches the waters surface so you’re literally flying and can get crazy close to the shore and make impossible turns!
this really makes me miss home . l was a young kid live just down the road from where this was taken I've lived in aus for the past 25 years . It doesn't get any better than this great vid bud 👍👍👍👍
Crazy ride and beautiful scenery. And, this guy appears so relaxed throughout, like another walk in the park. maybe a galvanized steel plate can be fitted to assist in the hull life? This man knows how to live.
beautiful....... river . beautiful jet boat ........ beautiful country............ amazing ... I wish in my country in Saudi Arabia river like this just a river ........ new Zealand is wonderful....😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
👍👍👍 From Russia Это очень круто! Чувствуется, что фарватер знаком, но при этом маршрут о-очень сложный!!! Для тех, кто не знает - особенно сложен при движении вниз по течению!!! P. S. You like ZZ Top, man!!! 😉
Breathtaking scenery and video nice. Great tune for the video. I can't help but think what a pristine place this is...until every thrill seeking headcase comes along and there it goes. Great video though. !
i watched this video when it came out over 6 years ago...still watch it from time to time...so peacefull...love the music
If you are interested, the music up to 6:27 is Greenland, by Emancipator czcams.com/video/AsdNua632p0/video.html
+1
Must have seen this movie 50 times. Amazed everytime of the river and it's surroundings. The music is perfect for this scenery. Greetings from Sweden.
It was a perfect day to go up there, I normally get up there in the boat 2-3 times a year, thanks for watching

Thank you internet for the ability to see all the beautiful corners of the Earth
Mike Asterios see them for yourself! it’s not that hard
@@jakedeutscher ofc not that hard.When u live in 1 of the shittest countrys in the world)))Called Ukraine xD
Little known fact- that five gallon red tank has water in it. Just enough to get home if the river runs dry.
minimoto23 Dad joke!....lol
minimoto23 😂😂😂
I could drive my truck through most of that.
ахаха
XD
No big deal.
Just cruising through middle earth on my speed boat...
Well since middle earth is in New Zealand, I would say no.
In Lord Of The Rings, not reality.
No, the term is equivalent to what it's being applied to.
Just give it up, man...
Nothing was metaphorical about my comment, but okay.
Nik Murphy don't worry the majority of the people who read it understand
His Camera man is outstanding, standing the whole time with out falling
Its good that the pole is sturdy that the cameras attached too
@@Daniel-gr2qq not surprised, polish people make excellent cameramen, outstanding people and very traditional
Une caméra arrière 😁 fixe 👍
What lovely land you have in New Zealand. I'm from Western Australia and I have never seen a mountain, snow or rivers like this.
Lord Humungous Austrailia is beautiful also .love Perth city and swan river
never seen someone hillclimb a boat
i don't think Ive ever seen more beautiful place. so open spaces, large, wonderful. would love to go there.

+nudist0885 for square miles.....?

Scott Brunner i want to cry lol
nudist0885 also sheep out number humans 10 to 1. And now cattle i believe
Not gonna lie. I was mesmerized by this video. Looks like a trip to heaven.
Don't know what's more awesome, the jet boat or the dudes majestic beard.
Dude is a wizard!
Ha! I thought he was wearing a scarf 🤣🤣
@@CaptainSkidmark74 you’re a boat guy Harry…
What is that like an inch of water???? You could run this thing down a wet sidewalk.damn.

Well it ain't a fan boat.
The mini boats like this can run in as little as 4 inches of water.
Epic ride, with a cool dude, in a rippin jetter with all that breathtaking beauty all around. Too awesome bro👍a million thanks for sharing 🙌🍻
This is the peak of life, having this journey, the driver has a style and what a style
Listening to 1ZB talkback on that sweet headset radio while fanging a mini jetboat in literally centimetres of water. Entertaining! Love NZ. Scenery is amazing. Perspective works really well.
probably need to trade that life preserver in for a helmet. your not gonna drown in 2 inches of water.
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
ULTRA NOOB fucking destroyed

your first sentence is extremely false. Use some logic lmfao...
Hahhahah zz top dude nearly went rocking and rolling ass up ... head first into all them rocks ...needs a helmet l reackon
Absolutely amazing! Such beautiful scenery and was shocked how shallow water was . Wonderful music also.
The BEST small jet video clip ever. Excellent scenery & top class (in sympathy) music. Congratulations
I've decided to migrate to New Zealand and become a boat. Please drive me.
Seriously? Lol 😂
Hahahahahaha
Suco Vidya+ that sounds hella gay
Bring beers.Lots of em.
Lmao
gimly is jet boating into mordor
Breaking good your comment should have the most likes
Hes still in Rohan
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks.
6:10 was so good.
You New Zelanders have way to much fun!! Looks like an awesome adventure!! Thanks for the videos
I could watch this all day !! 😍🌈🌞🌄🏜🗻⛰🛶
Mate this is really entertaining and the scenery is breathtaking. well done dude!
adamfremer . do everyone a favor and keep your stupid opinions to yourself! STFU AND FUCKOFF!
too bad the thing is so loud it chases away all fauna, and scares fish to death... ugh silly humans
Awesome video, shocked at how well that boat coped with the shallow water. what an amazing looking place too!
A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.
I appreciate you video. It's the only way I'd ever get to see such beauty and your skill at handling the craft. Thanks.
Beautiful footage with beautiful music. Proud to share such an awesome country!

Thank you sir..you made me smile for 9 minutes and 41 seconds!
Love this vid ! good choice of music to.
Any idea what this track is called or who it is?
RekLes not sure but I think iys some kind of deep trance music
It's called "Greenland" by Emancipator
Dana Chapman cheers buddy
Greenland may be the trance version but it's a spinoff of the song "Fade to Grey" by Visage from the 80s( maybe 90s).
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning and wonderful steering!
The scenery is so breath taking! AMAZING
WOW! just wow!!!! nice music and awesome video!!!
only 1 word can describe your video that is PERFECT
Used to holiday at Benmore and Twizel when we were kids..love this area of NZ. And the Hamilton Jet is one of NZs best inventions.
Great video, really enjoyed the views and music.
Nice run. That boat is like a Jeep for water...or Land Rover,.. if you prefer. Just keeps going.
or humer
how many rocks were damaged making this video
Smoker Ace 😂
Smoker Ace ...and think of all the starving children in Africa who could have eaten those rocks.
LOL 😂😂😂
Smoker Ace about as many as fish killed
Smoker Ace jetborading with Billy Gibbons
Awesome scenery! The man has the look of ZZTop! 😆 What a machine! 👍
I got that feeling that I've been here before(I haven't) and I can feel the cool air too. Thank you for sharing this video.
Bucket list!

Amazing man, wish i could drive a boat on that river
That isn't a river its a fucking puddle of water lol
Crazy ride and beautiful scenery. And, this guy appears so relaxed throughout, like another walk in the park. maybe a galvanized steel plate can be fitted to assist in the hull life? This man knows how to live.
Hello from Idaho! I love this video so much.
Time to trade in my kayak. Sweet video!!

I can see the Amazon ad now, Boat like new, only one owner, only used once, etc.

NZ is one beautiful place. That scenery is truly stunning..
Damn Skippy, that was intense, nice driving! Small boat with a very shallow draft, looked fun!

You might not have made it to the glacier lakes but still, that was one hell of a trip. You are a fortunate man to have such adventures.
No words can describe the sheer pleasure of watching and listening...
Superb video..

Music - Emancipator - Greenland
ActrosVLG thank you

Great video and music. Can only dream of being able to do that one day. Two thumbs up.
2:46 almost got his beard wet.
After working 10 hours a day, these 7 minutes made my day. Life is a hoax as Alan watts would say...
That's what I call pure excitement - the outdoors!
That's amazing view. Thank you for sharing. And who cares about the boat 🚣, just look how enjoyable it was 😍😍😍
Как красиво!
Ай молодца мужик.
Очень люблю этот ролик!

👍👍👍 From Russia Это очень круто! Чувствуется, что фарватер знаком, но при этом маршрут о-очень сложный!!! Для тех, кто не знает - особенно сложен при движении вниз по течению!!!
P. S. You like ZZ Top, man!!! 😉
Incredible. Look at that view. The music. This is why I come back to watch CZcams. Great
dafuq what is this boat made of!?? First time I've ever seen a boat that can take such a beating and survive..
Av987 Google 'UHMW plastic'. The bottomside of the boat is clad with it.
painmagnet1 Actually its made of Chuck Norris' scrotum.
Probably the same Alloy as his Balls, STEEL!
The whole body is made of aluminum.
Eric Heagan and the motor? Jet propelled, correct?
One trip per boat lol!
Thanks for the trip, beautiful !!!
Amazing boat..
amazing place..
Nice music and nice videos..😊
In order to see the bottom of the boat you'd have to go down under. 😜
Nice music 🤔
This video is awesome to watch on a big screen with the sound up.
Acually pretty soothing
Great vid! Watched every second. Beautiful place. Thx!
whats the name of the song??
Chuck Norris' boat
Damn straight,bitches.
Breathtaking scenery and video nice. Great tune for the video. I can't help but think what a pristine place this is...until every thrill seeking headcase comes along and there it goes. Great video though. !
Je ne m'en lasse pas de regarder cette vidéo :) Top, musique totalement en adéquation avec la vidéo. Je kif :) Merci ! :)
This run could probably use wheels in some areas. LOL I am impressed by the shallow water run.
было бы круто если бы он снял как на трек лодку загрузил
тогда бы было понятно где камера крепится,и какое двигло у лодки!
That was memorizing. Thanks for posting
By far one of the coolest boating videos i have seen!
