Jet boating
 
What would anyone out there recommend for the best jet boating. I have been reading and there seems to be quite a bit. Several years ago my son bungey jumped at the Pipeling bungy and said there were jet boats there and it looked great. Thanks. Wendy

Wendy:<BR>There must be hundreds of jet boats cruising the rivers of the South Island. We went in Christchurch and had a ball. We observed jet boats in Queenstown on the Shotover river and it too looked like great fun.<BR>John

I've done both Kewarra and Shotover in Queenstown, and hands down I recommend Shotover!<BR><BR>Melodie<BR>Certified Aussie Specialist

Hi Wendy,<BR> We just did the Shotover jetboats last week - it's AMAZING!!! I'm a big wimp and it totally had me stressed out for a bit...only until a little bit of cold water smacked me in the face when we made a 360 - then I wanted the ride to last all day. Keep your eyes open - it is so much fun!!!
