Things to do in Skippers Road

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!

An exciting experience with great scenery, expect to get a bit wet and possibly a bit of motion sickness 😅. They currently don’t have camera options but they give you options for photography once you arrive and get briefed.

It's 30 minutes of either screaming or heading towards screams, it's so much fun, never a dull moment. We happened to get a Japanese captain who was very funny.

very nice jet boat experience with a brief bus tour for the Skippers Road. The jet boat experience last for like 10 mins and very suitable for family!

Super exciting and fun, very windy and cold. On the day we came to play, they happened to be upgrading the photography equipment and couldn't provide videos. We brought our own GoPro to film, but needed to rent a headband from them.

I liked it very much. Ben was a very intusiastic Guide with a lot of knowlege about the Lord of the rings places.

We booked full.day tour and the morning and afternoon tours are operated by different companies..Morning tour was by Pure Glenorchy and our tour guide Tristen was a true LOTR fans. It was so fun to listen to all the inside stories of LOTR. afternoon tour was by Trails of middle Earth. our guide Benje (Gollum, as he calls himself) was very knowledgeable and LOTR expert as well. this tour is a treat for LOTR fans, like my husband 😄
