Fun for all ages! - So much fun! If you like adventure, can’t miss this! Our woman driver was such a badass, we loged her! The 360° turns are amazing. Jus know you will get wet, so bring a Raincoat of some sort if you don’t want that.

Get that Canyon Grin - A must do in Queenstown! Don't waste your time on anything other than the Shotover Jet canyon rides, they are so much fun! Getting up close to the canyon walls is thrilling and puts an ear to ear, smile on your face.

Shotover Jet Queenstown - Captain Curtis is extremely cool! Super driving skills. Amazing weather and scenery. Highly recommended! Unlucky to have trip cancelled on arrival due to bad weather and lucky to have trip resumed on second day!

Shot over fun - What a great place to experience the Hoover keyboard experience. Our driver made us feel safe at all times, whilst still doing 360 degree spins and turns in a narrow canyon. Loved it!

Not for the faint hearted! - We were treated to this experience whilst on holiday in New Zealand and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a white knuckle ride and at times we were slightly scared, but never felt unsafe. The staff are very professional and explain everything that you need to know and what to expect.
Try it, it’s an amazing experience!

Fantastic white-knuckle ride - Fantastic white-knuckle ride, but we felt totally safe in the hands of our expert driver Misusu. Astonishing manoeuvres and brilliant fun. Worth every penny!

Must do activity in Queenstown - The staff were friendly and the boat ride was amazing, cutting through the narrow passes and having 360 spins. Out boat staff also provided lot if information about the area and also interacted with us being a small group.
