Awesome thrill ride, high speed towards massive rocks and plenty of 360s thrown in. Definitely do again.

This was a BLAST! The ride is beautiful and FUN! We took the shuttle from Queenstown and it was easy and efficient. I only wish I had worn my sunglasses for wind protection.

Fantastic experience! I was worried I was too old for this, (67), I only went on it because my husband wanted to ( he’s 72) . I needn’t have worried, there were plenty of older people and many younger ones too. The Shotover river and gorge are spectacular, and our driver was very skilled. Took us a long way down the river, thrills at every turn. Highly recommended! I think this trip looks better than the one that leaves in town.
