had a really fun time with shotover jet! it was a little pricey but the views and the experience was pretty good. wish i had my phone w me on the boat because by right, no loose articles allowed but the instructor told us we could take photos while on the boat when it was at a complete stop 😭 the go pro on the boat was also not working that day 😩😔 suggest you guys check at the counter first or before boarding. they do have lockers for you to store your bags before boarding the boat

Very very fun experience and the guides were all experts in the activity. The scenery from below was incredible and rapids were so fun to go through. The drive up the skippers canyon road was scary but such an experience. it offer dramatic view and drops vertically on the side of the cliff. photos included in the package
