Alpine Airboats

Alpine Airboats The only tourist Airboat business in New Zealand operating on the Waimakariri River in Christchurch

'Gentle Ben' was an iconic 60's program about a little boy Mark and his pet Brown Bear Ben in the Florida Everglades that made Airboats a household name the world over. Now you can experience the rush of air and thrill of 'flying over water (and land) propelled by an aeroplane propeller rather than a boat prop.

That’s us!!

Stunning day for Airboating. The river colour is becoming almost perfect.
We are very fortunate to have a river like the Waimakariri right on our doorsteps.

Great mix of jet and air boating on the upper Waimak!
