Shotover Jet is the only Jetboat company operating in the Shotover River canyon and promises to give the ultimate in jet boat experiences. An iconic visitor experience in Queenstown, the powerful jet boats are dwarfed by the Shotover Canyon walls which tower above.

Life jackets are mandatory and supplied by the company. Optional splash coats are also provided. In winter, gloves, hats and warm clothing are recommended. Also for passanger comfort in the colder months, the hand rails on board the jet boat are heated. Suitable for children from the age of 5 years.
Shotover jet also operates combination trips for those who wish to experience other activities combined with a jet boat trip on the shotover, including helicopter mountain landings, Skyline Gondola Trip and a Luge ride, perfect for families with school age children or for those who just love abit of fun and adrenalin!
