Shotover Jet Boat in Queenstown – Pure Adrenaline
Queenstown’s Shotover Jet Boat – Pure Adrenaline
Shotover Jet is the best jet boat ride, and it’s been thrilling millions of people since it first hit the water in New Zealand in 1965. We’re going to take you on a journey that’s both beautiful and amazing. We’re going to mix pristine natural landscape with wall to wall canyon action from start to finish. Hold on tight as we do our famous 360 degree spins again!
With high-performance, V8 twin engine boats, we take you through our Canyons. We ride the rapids and do gravity-defying stunts right next to the cliffs. Speed is the name of the game with our boats. They can go up to 90 kilometres per hour in water as little as 10 centimetres deep.
Shotover Jet is part of what makes New Zealand so unique. It combines the classic New Zealand invention of the Jet Boat with the kiwi culture of adventure. Visiting Queenstown is a great way to see beautiful scenery, learn about New Zealand’s history, and have a lot of fun. The Shotover Jet is a great way to do all three in a unique and unforgettable way, and for many visitors, it is the highlight of their trip.

If you want to go from the Station Information Center (25 Shotover Street) to the Shotover Jet Base, you can get there for free. If you’re taking the shuttle, you should arrive at The Station at least 60 minutes before your boat leaves. The shuttle takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the Shotover Jets base from Queenstown. As shuttle capacity is limited, please make sure you have enough time to get to your boat before you leave. For groups of 10 or more, it is very important that you contact us before you arranged transportation.
