What people are saying about Shotover River
Fantastic nearly as good as racing my Historic sports car
if ou want a great experience but don't want to jump out of a perfectly good plane or bungy tower this is the way to go. experienced driver on a boat wich lets you see as you are travelling at about 80kph centimetres form the edge of a very beautiful river banks (rock faces). the Shotover Jet Boat was awesome! don't just go on the lake go up the Shotover River!
Fantastic time had! Definitely recommend
An hour is no where nesr long enough! Could stay on this all day was such a good time, driver was really friendly and full of facts and the 360 degree spins were awesome!
Beautiful scenic drive and excellent Jet Boat ride
Well worth booking this tour as skippers canyon road cannot be accessed by rental cars without voiding insurance.
Great fun but shorter ride tour than expected
Had a great time and had a great tour guide. I think the tour was a little shorter than advertised.
