Driver was very good. Funny but still kept us well informed of what was to come. Was very thrilling but not as scary as I thought it would be.

We had Jack as our driver today & he made the experience so much fun! Definitely worth adding this activity to your itinerary!

Easy ticketing, good organisation to get us on the water and then a great 1 hour ride up the lake and on the two rivers. Well looked after by the driver with a ride filled with twists, spins and speed. Loved it.

What a great experience, the staff were great and very informative and helpful. Driver/ pilot/ Tour guide Jack was wonderful and very experienced. Was great to see him check up on us to make sure everything was fine. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a thrill.

This was our first experience on a Shotover and it was awesomely thrilling. The staffs were great and helpful. The jet driver Puni was skilled and made our trip fun and exciting. Special thanks to Puni who made sure I got my beanie back which I had forgotten on the jet.

Lots of fun, very well organised. The boat ride was really exciting and the briefing by the driver in the waterways he took us on was amazing, very knowledgeable and really friendly. Highly recommend it.

What a great experience! This was a last minute decision to do and thankfully they are located central in town which makes it easy when staying near by. My family of four (12 year old and 5 year old) loved it and had so much fun. We couldn't fault our experience - Expect to get wet!!!!

What an absolutely amazing experience, It was a little cold but the views and scenery certainly made up for that. The location is amazing it's right in town and very close to all amenities
