Five people have been injured in a crash involving the Shotover Jet near Queenstown.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said they received a report of "boat versus rocks" near Arthurs Point about 3.15pm today.
Three crews from Queenstown and Frankton responded. No one had been trapped, he said.
A Hato Hone St John spokeswoman said five patients had received minor injuries. Two had been transported to Lakes District Hospital.
A police spokeswoman said officers helped passengers get off the boat.
