Willy was our driver and he was the best. A very experienced driver who took his job seriously when needed and had an excellent sense of humour. The skipper of the jet boat was next level. Awesome

Highlights

This tour of about 3 hours departs from Queenstown with a guided drive to historic Skippers Canyon, followed by a jet boat ride through the narrow gorges of the upper Shotover River. Travel along Skippers Road, carved out of sheer rock walls by miners more than 130 years ago, through a landscape rich in gold mining history. Your expert driver steers the boat close to the canyon walls at speeds of over 80 km/h with 360-degree spins. You can also enjoy the scenery of Skippers Canyon, known as a filming location for The Lord of the Rings.


Program

Depart from Queenstown
and drive to Skippers Canyon

Depart from central Queenstown and head to historic Skippers Canyon with commentary from your knowledgeable driver. Follow Skippers Road, carved out of sheer rock walls by miners more than 130 years ago, through land rich in gold mining history and beautiful scenery. Known as a road not covered by rental car insurance, getting to the canyon is half the adventure.

 

Jet boat through the narrow gorges of the upper Shotover River

Wearing a life jacket and spray jacket (plus gloves in winter), board the boat and head deep into Skippers Canyon through the most dramatic gorges of the Shotover River. Your expert driver steers the boat close to the steep canyon walls at speeds of over 80 km/h with 360-degree spins. The jet boat ride lasts about 30 minutes.

 

Enjoy canyon views at the Pipeline Bungy area

After the jet boat ride, move to the historic Pipeline Bungy area to relax, take in the stunning canyon views and take photos. Then drive about 45 minutes back to Queenstown.

※ There are no restroom stops during the tour, so please use the restroom before departing Queenstown.
