Shotover Jet with Shuttle from Queenstown: A Thrill Seeker’s Must-Do
Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand, and nothing says adrenaline like a ride on the Shotover Jet. Zooming through narrow canyons at up to 90kmph, you’ll experience heart-pounding twists and those iconic 360° spins. The best part? This is the only jet boat company allowed to operate deep within the stunning Shotover River Canyons.
The ride itself lasts around 25 minutes, packed with jaw-dropping views and wall-to-wall action from the moment you take off. With experienced drivers at the helm, you're in safe hands as you tear through white water in state-of-the-art jet boats.
