We did both the Shotover Jet and the Thunder Jet. Both were a great experience but I would say I enjoyed the Shotover more. I would recommend the Shotover more too if you have kids. If you are older and would like a commentary of Queenstown, then go the Thunder Jet. Reasons I enjoyed Shotover are that I loved the... More

Breath taking and amazing speed almost touching the sides of the boulders One of the must dos whilst in queenstiown Dress extra warm with gloves woollen hat and sunglasses to keep the spray out of your eyes Enjoy the rush

My husband and I just visited Queenstown the other day and we had to do the shotover jet. I'm not one for thrills but it was incredible. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. Booking was easy through the website and all of the staff were great. When I come back to Queenstown I will... More

This ride is a serious thrill! The jet boat goes crazy fast and basically drifts everywhere! No straight driving anywhere. Some parts I thought we were going to crash into the sides of the canyon but we didn't because we had a good driver - I guess that's part of the thrill. The 360 turns are a lot of fun... More

This was one of my favorite things we did in Queenstown. I could have done this all day. You zip through the canyon at a pretty good speed and the driver does 360 degree turns and you get soaking wet, and it's good fun. You also go through the canyons more than once, and if you want to go a... More

The spins are awesome and the crew are good fun. But all together it is a bit pricy for 12 minutes ride 129 nzd! Pics are extra costs. Pretty good is the shuttle to town, even if you miss one just catch the next one.

The early morning jet boat ride was freezing cold and a lot of fun. Our driver Ian was personable and obviously very skilled. His commentary during the short breaks on the runs was interesting. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. Of course it is pricey but if you want a wild ride on the river through the canyon it can't be... More

Absolutely great experience, what a thrill, it was well worth every cent of the sort of expensive ride price...well everything is pricey up in Queenstown and in NZ in general when it comes to tours. But this is a special ride, and it is for everyone (who isn't pregnant or has back problems, as the ride will be bumpy at... More

This was by most my best experience in Queenstown. The ride through the Shotover river gorge is mind blowing, the rock faces are so close. I sat up the back and copped plenty of splash in the 360 degree turns but loved every minute. The ride went longer than I expected and I must admit my face was frozen by... More
