Shotover Jets
Shotover Jet Queenstown Description
Shotover Jet, the World’s most exciting jetboat ride! It’s an adrenaline rush you’ll never forget! We call it Thrill Therapy, and it’s actually good for you too! 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, and your driver skillfully whips the boat past rocky outcrops, and skims around crags and boulders.
Rock faces blur in your peripheral vision, the opaque water sprays into myriads of white crystals with every turn, and you grip the safety rail for comfort and reassurance and then let out a whoop of excitement as the driver spins the boat around in its own boat length ? wow, you’ve just experienced the ‘trademark’ Shotover Jet 360 degree spin. You’ll stop briefly while your driver points out interesting landmarks or points of interest.
