Creator's Key Takeaways

In Queenstown, that experience is the Shotover Jet. Now, if you're visiting Queenstown and you're looking for an adrenaline rush, the Shotover Jet is one of the most iconic experiences in New Zealand.

It doesn't matter how many times you do it, it is awesome. And you know what? I tell you what, even just recalling it and just watching that, I've got a massive grin on my face.

We base our our maintenance on the sort of aviation industry. And, uh, then once the hull itself hits 1,000 hours, it's completely taken out of the water, stripped right back to the bare metal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you are doing this in winter, be prepared for extreme cold as the water can turn to ice on contact.
Don't try to drink anything immediately after the ride or it might dribble out of your mouth due to the sensation.

Cold temperaturesBe aware that in winter, temperatures can drop significantly and the water hitting you can feel like ice.
Safety/Engine failureThe boats use two engines for redundancy so that if one fails, you still have steering and braking capability.
