Still on an adrenalin buzz from yesterdays sky dive we decided on a jet boat ride today. Since Whale Watching in Australia I have felt the need for further fast boating experiences and apparently Queenstown is the place to do this. There are many jet boating companies around but one is always mentioned when you are talking about extreme activities… the Shotover Jet! On the Shotover River these guys take about 10/12 people at a time through narrow canyons at about 60km per hour. They are the only jet boat firm (perhaps in this area I don’t know) to do 360 degree spins. Basically it’s a handbrake turn on the water and a little close to the canyon rocks to make it a relaxing experience – but it was a helluva ride. The boat drivers hobbies where base jumping and sky diving, say n’more!
