Jet Boat Adventure in Queenstown
Prepare yourself for the world's most exciting jet boat ride! This jet boat ride is a mixture of adrenalin-pumped action and spectacular scenery. Hold on tight as your driver takes you through a series of awe-inspiring spins and watch as the canyon walls and waters of the Shotover River rush by you!
Acknowledged as the world's most famous jet boat operation, this is one ride you won't want to miss!
It's a thrilling ride - skimming past rocky outcrops at close range in our jet boats as you twist and turn through the narrow canyons at breath-taking speeds.
Hold on tight as the driver takes you through a series of extreme manoeuvres, including the world-famous 360-degree spins!
The part of the Shotover River in which we operate is situated less then 10 minutes' drive from the centre of Queenstown and consists primarily of steep canyon walls, divided by the fast flowing river. The canyons have been carved over thousands of years by billions of tonnes of glacial water from the heart of the Southern Alps. The very grandeur of the river provides an element of excitement.
There are two sets of canyons on the lower Shotover River and we are the only company permitted to operate in these spectacular canyons, giving you a truly unique experience.
Since 1970 over two million passengers have been thrilled by this jet boat ride. Now it's your turn!
