We had an amazing time on the shotover jet! The ride on the jet boat was fun and thrilling. We had to wait to the side of the river whilst another jet boat was being serviced and our driver was very informative of the river as well as the boat. Be prepared to get a little wet.

Extremely fun and thrilling experience. Totally enjoyed it, my son kept mentioning about Shotover jet throughout the trip and wanted to do it again. Their onboard camera is great. I made a mistake of using head gear for GoPro, worst decision lol. They take really good shots that you can buy. Totally worth it.
