Shotover jetboat is the ultimate boat experience. The scenery is amazing (Shotover Canyons) and it is great fun.
Even if you don’t go on the boat, it is well worth it to visit the place. You can get to the edge of Shotover River and see the Edith Cavell bridge. Also the Canyon Brewery is located there.
