Wow! What a fabulous time I had on the Shotover Jet. I didn't imagine I would find it as exciting and thrilling as I did, given that I have grown up with jet boats but these guys really do know their stuff and their skills at manouvering these powerful machines really are impressive. From the driver who picked us up and drove us to the river to the lady that gave us our life jackets and over coats, the photographer that took our photo and then our jet boat driver Nick they were all outstanding in their jobs and made the experience a very enjoyable and memorable one. Not only did Nick have the crew in stitches of laughter he also knew his stuff about the Shotover River and gave us all a very insightful and interesting run down on the history behind Shotovoer Jet and the gold mining era. The infamous Shotover Jet 360 degree spin was awesome and one that our crew never got sick of. Nick was very accomomdating to the crew's excitement and continued to spin wherever he could. I advise all going to Queenstown to tick the Shotover Jet off your list. You will be so glad you did and it will make you want to go back for more. Thanks Nick and the Shotover Team for such an awesome experience.

The Shotover Jet is the most well known jet boat ride in New Zealand and an iconic Queenstown activity... and rightly so! The boats wizz & spin down the Shotover river through kilometres of narrow rocky canyons pausing only briefly to allow the knowledgeable driver to offer some local insight into the history of this once prolific gold mining river. Shotover Jet is a big company, thrilling hundreds of tourists every day but they run a professional, personal and smooth operation so you wont feel like just a number. There are cheaper and longer jet boat rides around NZ but none offer the same high speed, white knuckle experience. This is simply an activity you have to do!

Had an exciting time on the Jet Boat - hands down the best jet boat I have ever been on. Thanks to our driver, think it was "Chopper" you da man.

Wow! My Shotover Jetboat Ride was amazing. It was breathtaking and exhilarating and everyone should do it at least once. When it is over, you just want to get back on the boat and do it again! Brilliant and awesome.
