THE DRAMATIC SHOTOVER RIVER CANYONS
A BREATHTAKING RIDE THROUGH NARROW SPECTACULAR CANYONS
Established in 1965, Shotover Jet operates on an exclusive section of the Shotover River in Queenstown, New Zealand. We are the only jet boat operator permitted in the Shotover Canyons, leaving this area exclusively for those visitors who choose to take a ride on the world famous Shotover Jet! Go where others can't.
The canyons are a beautiful and truly remarkable sight. Primarily made up of steep rock walls, that have been carved over thousands of years by billions of tonnes of fast flowing river water from the heart of the Southern Alps.
The canyons of the Shotover River provide for a truly unique location and the very grandeur of this spectacular environment adds to the excitement and exclusivity of the Shotover Jet experience.
