World Famous Thrills - It’s an Experience you’ll Never Forget

Nothing you have experienced will have you prepared for the thrill and excitement of a Shotover Jet ride; it's an adrenaline rush you'll never forget!

From the moment the accelerator hits the floor your adrenaline hits the roof as you speed in mere centimetres of water along the famous Shotover River and deep into the spectacular Shotover River Canyons.  It's an amazing ride, as the Shotover Canyon walls tower over you, your expert driver puts your ‘Big Red’ through its paces and skillfully whips the Jet Boat past rocky outcrops, skims around crags and boulders, and speeds through the narrow canyons.

Rock faces blur in your peripheral vision, the opaque water sprays into myriads of white crystals with every turn, and you grip the hand rail for comfort and reassurance and then let out a whoop of excitement as your driver spins the boat around in its own boat length — wow, you've just experienced the World famous Shotover Jet full 360 degree spin.   Hold on tight and enjoy the thrill as you spin and without losing momentum keep speeding along the river.

The best thing of all… this is actually good for you.

Studies have shown a good thrill livens up your system, waking up dormant biochemical pathways that refresh, relieve stress and heal. 

You experience a sense of euphoria and well being as your brain receives a welcome cocktail of oxygen, sugar, adrenaline, cortisol and endorphins.  The result — a natural high that makes you feel great!

It’s our own unique and exclusive form of Jet Boat therapy, we call it Thrill Therapy and we've been prescribing it since 1970 — a good healthy dose of adrenaline to get you feeling alive!
