Reviews summaryhad 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
it was a memorable experience, perfect for the thrill seekers out there. the boat ride was such a cool thing to do. the driver is just so good in driving it. many times i thought we would hit the sides but never did we. i loved the 360 turns as well. we had a great time !
It is an absolute must-do when visiting Queenstown. It offers an exhilarating mix of adventure, stunning scenery, and professional service that ensures a memorable experience. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking for something extraordinary to do, this ride delivers on all fronts! Be sure to book early, as this popular attraction can fill up quickly. Wear some old clothes (you will get wet!), and prepare for a wild ride that you won’t soon forget. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
I recently booked the Shotover Jet Boat ride in Queenstown through Klook, and it was amazing! The booking was easy, and the ride was thrilling. The staff were professional and friendly, and the stunning scenery added to the excitement. Highly recommended!
it’s was super convenient and great communication from them. this activity is super fun and it’s cheaper if we bought it from the counter! totally recommend buying from klook!
This is a must-try in Queenstown. My friends and I loved this activity. One of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. The views were spectacular and the driver is kind.
Super fun! Thrilling and exciting ride. The price is worth every turn of the shotover boat!! They provided safety precautions prior to the activity so everyone doesn’t have to worry. You should just listen to the boat driver and take it seriously. The whole experience is really worth it and I can say it’s one of my core memories from my ZQN travel. Hoping to try this again when we plan to come back!
What an awesome experience, something I've always wanted to do. Everything was so well organized and of course all staff were so friendly. My family and I had a blast, highly recommended when you come to Queenstown!
extremely fun and exciting. it’s cold but the adrenaline will keep you warm enough. the people are friendly as well
Take a high-speed jet boat back and forth on the river, and experience the exciting process of 360-degree rotation from time to time. There is no need to worry about how to arrive, the considerate bus transfer service can allow you to start and return home in the city. Apart from a GoPro strapped to your head, it is highly discouraged to try to use your phone while on a boat unless you want to be the next example of safety propaganda.
