Itinerary

THE SPECTACULAR SHOTOVER CANYONS. ONLY WE CAN TAKE YOU THERE! The only way to experience our Canyons, see their beauty and feel their power, is to come on a journey with us, the worldā€™s most exciting jet boat ride. A unique combination of beauty and power, itā€™s an experience like no other, blending pristine natural landscape with wall to wall canyon action from start to finish! Proudly owned by Ngāi Tahu, the Māori people of this land, our connection to the Kimiākau (Shotover River) goes back centuries. As the home of our tÄ«puna (ancestors), this place is part of us. Only we have access to the spectacular Shotover Canyons and no one knows this area like we do!
