THE SPECTACULAR SHOTOVER CANYONS. ONLY WE CAN TAKE YOU THERE!

The only way to experience our Canyons, see their beauty and feel their power, is to come on a journey with us, the world’s most exciting jet boat ride. A unique combination of beauty and power, it’s an experience like no other, blending pristine natural landscape with wall to wall canyon action from start to finish!

Proudly owned by Ngāi Tahu, the Māori people of this land, our connection to the Kimiākau (Shotover River) goes back centuries. As the home of our tīpuna (ancestors), this place is part of us. Only we have access to the spectacular Shotover Canyons and no one knows this area like we do!

What to bring

Eyewear (sunglasses / glasses) are recommended year-round.
Waterproof jacket or raincoat, warm clothes, hat and gloves are strongly recommended in winter (although the handrails on the jet boats are heated).

For safety reasons, the use of handheld personal cameras and video cameras are not permitted aboard the jet boats. You may wear action cameras on a headstrap only.
