It was a long, exciting, and fun experience! If you're enthusiastic enough, the instructor will give you plenty of thrilling spins. I recommend wearing a waterproof and windproof jacket or a raincoat (with a hood), because your hair will definitely get wet! You can wear a phone lanyard so you don't have to worry about your phone flying out while recording videos or taking pictures!

It was pretty good. The only downside was that the water level was low that day, so we didn't see as many waterfalls cascading down the fjord. The upside was that the weather was excellent, and visibility was very high.

The location is quite good! It's near the bus station and our room has a great view of the lake. It was also clean and spacious, definitely recommended!

The guides were professional and friendly, the pre-trip briefing was detailed, and the equipment provided was very complete. The jet boat ride in the first half was exciting, and be sure to keep your head warm due to the wind. Unfortunately, the weather was bad that day, the water flow was rapid and murky, and after lunch, the kayaking portion didn't go into the blue river channel I most wanted to visit. They only took us to see the stream on foot, which was disappointing, but understandable. I would go again if I have the chance!

I chose the option with lunch included. It was very crowded, and the food was okay. The main draw is seeing the steamboat; watching the boiler's steam is quite interesting.

For your first experience, I recommend paying an extra $35 to have a coach assist you. You don't need to upgrade the hat, but the extra cost for photography is worthwhile.

Experiencing Shotover Jet during this trip to Queenstown was truly an unforgettable part of my entire New Zealand journey! From check-in, I felt the professionalism and efficiency. The on-site process was clear, the instructions were precise, and the staff were friendly and humorous, making me excited even before boarding. After putting on a life jacket and receiving safety instructions, my heart started racing. (But you can't bring a GoPro, and the merchant's cameras are currently being upgraded, so videos aren't available.) When the red jet boat plunged into the emerald green river, the thrill of gliding at high speed close to the water's surface was beyond imagination! The captain's skills were very refined, weaving through narrow canyons at high speed and performing rapid 360-degree spins. Each fishtail turn brought screams and laughter from the entire boat. It combined speed and precision, making it both exciting and reassuring, allowing you to fully enjoy the entire process. The riverside scenery was also spectacular. Rock walls, forests, and rushing water intertwined to create a stunning scene, allowing you to feel the raw power of New Zealand's nature. While waiting, walking along the riverbank and watching red speedboats cut through the water was a visual delight in itself. Best of all, the safety measures were comprehensive throughout, the equipment was well-maintained, and the level of professionalism was impressive. The photos taken were also of great commemorative value. Everyone's expressions were genuinely excited and happy, and you can't help but laugh when you look back at them. If you come to Queenstown, this is definitely one of the must-do activities. It's full marks for excitement, full marks for professionalism, and full marks for the overall experience. Highly recommended for travelers who want to create passionate memories! Next time I come to New Zealand, I will definitely experience it again!

This skydiving experience deserves a perfect score without reservation. From the moment I boarded the small plane, my heart started racing. Looking down at the lakes and mountains through the plane window, the whole land was like a three-dimensional map spread out beneath my feet. The lake water sparkled with blue-green light under the sun, and the mountains stretched out in layers to the horizon. At that moment, I already felt it was worth the price of admission. When the door opened and the cold wind rushed into the cabin, my mind went almost blank. The moment I flipped out, the world suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the thrill of rapid descent. Those few dozen seconds of free fall completely defied my imagination—not fear, but a kind of extremely pure release. The blue sky was close at hand, and the lake and town were rapidly enlarging below. The shock of it all is truly indescribable. After the parachute opened, the scene suddenly became gentle. The sun shone on my face, the distant snow-capped mountains were clearly visible, and the lake lay quietly like a mirror between the valleys. To be able to skydive in such weather, I really have to thank God for giving me an almost perfect blue sky. The wind was steady, the visibility was clear, and the visibility was excellent, making this experience the most beautiful stroke on my life's bucket list. The instructor was very professional and gave me a full sense of security throughout the whole process. From equipment inspection to aerial guidance, he was very careful. The footage was also very exciting. When I watched the video, I truly realized that I had accomplished something that I once thought was unattainable. This is not just an extreme activity, but an experience of dialogue with oneself. When my feet touched the ground again, the sense of accomplishment and emotion was something I will remember for the rest of my life. I sincerely recommend that anyone who wants to experience it book early, as the price is usually more affordable and the time is more flexible. Spots are very popular when the weather is good, so the sooner you book, the more at ease you will be. Highly recommended. If there is a must-do list in life, skydiving is definitely worth a spot. Safety: Perfect score Experience: Perfect score Instructor: Better for girls🤣 Equipment: Very new
