Top Water Activities Spots in Otago

Pro tip: wear layers! The weather can shift from sunny to chilly pretty fast. I regretted wearing just a t-shirt when the wind kicked in.

I think the afternoon rides around 3 PM have fewer people, which made for a more relaxed experience. You get to enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed!

Book your KJet trip online in advance to snag some great discounts – I saved a bit doing this! Plus, you get to skip some of the ticket line when you arrive

I found it helpful to book in advance, especially on weekends... It gets super busy during peak hours, and securing your spot means less waiting around

Definitely wear sunscreen, even if it looks cloudy! I didn’t, and ended up with a pretty bad sunburn by the end of my day on the lake.

I recommend booking the morning session around 9 AM; the river is less crowded and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery without rushing. Also don't forget to bring a waterproof phone case for some epic photos!

I recommend booking your parasailing session in the morning, like around 9 AM... The winds are usually calmer then, and you'll have the lake to yourself before it gets crowded later in the day

Check if there are any combo deals for parasailing with other activities, like boat rides or jet skiing. I saved a chunk of money that way, and it made for an incredible day on the water!
