In addition to roaming the picturesque Lake Wakatipu, the jet boat also goes deep into the outer rivers and shallows to discover the traces of the gold rush era. The driver is humorous and has excellent skills. Every time he swings his tail, the passengers scream with excitement!

The Shotover River jet boat in Queenstown is definitely worth a try. There is a huge propeller at the back of the speedboat, and the speed is very fast. The river water rushes towards you, and there is a strong roar in your ears. It is really super exciting.

The jet boat is a patent of New Zealand, which can travel in the shallows. The first one I took in Queenstown cost more than 500 RMB per person. After queuing up to board the boat, someone took photos. Each photo cost 200 RMB, but you can choose not to. The boat is fast. It was winter when I went there, so I could enjoy the snow-capped mountains and white clouds on both sides. After boarding the first boat, there was a small aquarium on the second floor below ground, where you could watch the fish in the water!

Riding a jet boat on the Shotover River is definitely an exciting activity. There are two types of speedboats, large and small. The large one can accommodate more than a dozen people, while the small one can accommodate 3-4 people. Regardless of the size, the speed is very fast, and the push back feeling when sitting on it is super exciting. It is definitely a rare water activity.

By the time we arrived in Queenstown, we had booked a day or two in advance. The speedboat seems to be in short supply. Fortunately, we have a reservation. The operation was smooth and running normally. The life jackets and raincoats provided are in good condition. The 25-minute journey was fast and full. Before the start of the operation, the driver introduced a brief safety instructions. To our surprise, we were so close to the rocks when the boat was traveling at high speed in the canyon, which added to the excitement.

There are several jetboats in Queenstown. Only this one is called the most exciting jetboat. We are lucky to avoid the tour group and drive only one boat at that time. The captain is handsome and young. The project requires height to be 1.2 meters to play. It's really addictive. The water splashes and the rocks brush the skin. Of course, the brave people have to sit in the first row or on the left. All of them have sat. People will want to do it again.

It is said that the speedboat developed by the local people in New Zealand can travel in the shallow shore at a fairly fast speed. It takes a long time to play and has a high cost-effective performance. The scenery along the speedboat is very beautiful. But 360 degrees of rotation will splash the clothes wet.
