Shotover Jet - Jet Boating

Region: Queenstown, Dunedin and Otago | Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes | Commences: Queenstown
A picture of the tour
Acknowledged as the World's most famous and successful jet boat operation, Shotover Jet is imitated by many; but for sheer excitement, no one even comes close. Shotover Jet is the only company permitted to operate amidst the spectacular scenery of the Shotover River Canyons.

Shotover Jet is an adrenaline rush you'll never forget! From the moment the accelerator hits the floor, your adrenaline hits the roof as you power through the Shotover River and deep into the Shotover River Canyons!

It's an amazing ride, as the Shotover Canyon walls tower over you, your driver skillfully whips the boat past rocky outcrops, skims around crags and boulders and then spins the boat around 360 degrees in its own boat length! You'll stop briefly while your driver points out interesting landmarks or points of interest.

Almost two million visitors have experienced Shotover Jet, New Zealand, since Shotover Jet was established in 1970. Jet Boating was invented in New Zealand and Shotover Jet is recognised as the World's most successful and exciting Jet Boating experience.

All Shotover Jet drivers are highly trained and know the boats and fast flowing waters of the Shotover River like the back of their hand. Each driver has a minimum of 120 hours behind the wheel of a 'Big Red' before carrying any passengers.

A professional candid photographic service, 'Shotover Shots', will capture on film each passenger both on and off the boat - a momento to purchase after the trip.
