  • Check out this exciting tour video of our adventure down the Shotover River in a high speed, cliff defying jet boat. Their shallow New Zealand rivers outside of Queenstown is where jet boats were invented back in 1954. The Shotover Jet is the latest technology providing extreme control. Although death defying, there have only been a handful of deaths with over 3-million riders over the years.

    I went to New Zealand in the summer of 1974 and snow skied from Queenstown (South Island) to Mt. Tongariro (North Island) and took the Shotover jet boat ride twice. Smaller boats and a more intimate experience, then but what a ride. Bought my 21 foot jet boat trying to recreate the experience.
