Skippers Canyon Jet Boat - Queenstown - New Zealand
Jet Boat through Skippers Canyon, Shotover River near Queenstown. Amazing ride. Recommended.
Skippers Canyon Jet - Queenstown New Zealand
Recently I managed to wrangle a trip up the famous Skippers Canyon on the Shotover River. This is one of Queenstowns icon experiences. After an exhilarating drive in on the old gold mining road you are treated to some true kiwi hospitality by the Skippers Jet team. The jet boating itself is a perfect combination of spins, racing narrowly passed canyon walls, history and the melodic humm of a V8 engine. A real must do activity while in Queenstown, New Zealand.

New Zealand Queenstown Skippers Canyon Jet Boat Ride Part 3!
In January 2019 we went on the adventure of a lifetime. We hired a motorhome and toured New Zealand's South Island by road and covered 2500 kilometres (1500 miles) in just under 6 days!
Whilst in Queenstown we were lucky enough to experience New Zealand's best Jet Boat ride with a company called Skippers Canyon Jet.
Our Jet Boat was captained by a funny guy called Ben who showed us why this is one of the most popular attractions in New Zealand. This is part 3 of the experience!
The boat ride was fun, exhilarating and set in one of the most picturesque parts of New Zealand.
Other companies offer Jet Boating experiences similar but no other includes the experience of driving along the beautiful scenery of Skippers Canyon. Be sure to check out the other videos of the drive.
