Shotover Jet is an adrenaline rush you will not forget in hurry. It is an amazing ride, as the Shotover Canyon walls tower over you, your driver skillfully whips the boat past rocky outcrops, skims round crags and boulders and then spins the boat around 360 degrees in its own boat length.
The drivers are very highly trained and know the fast flowing waters of the Shotover River like the back of their hand.
