    So much fun!! I couldn't stop smiling and laughing the whole time! I did it 15 years ago with my family but didn't remember much besides pictures. Just went back with my mom and we had the best time!! I would recommend this to anyone visiting New Zealand! It's a must! We had Rob as our driver and he was such a nice guy, felt totally safe with him, and he was super knowledgeable about the area, giving us some neat facts! Will 1000% be coming back and doing this again! Also, we bought the video and picture package which was so worth it.

  • Amazing experience in a beautiful part of the world

    The location was the star of the show. Going through those canyons was incredible. I don’t love adrenaline, but it was very fun going the speeds that we did in such a beautiful part of Queenstown. I personally get seasick just looking at water, but I didn’t feel unwell at all! Even doing the spins. It was comfortable. The driver kept checking that we were okay. Stopped for questions. The whole check in process was smooth & quick. All staff professional and friendly.

  • Shotover jet - great experience for the whole family
