Adrenaline full ride
Very exciting ride, one of the best rides I experienced in New Zealand. If you are liking for adrenaline activity combined with a rough beauty of the canyon don”t hesitate to chose this one if you are in Queenstown

I love fun & excitement and this adventure on a the skippers canyon jet boat and bus ride with the most incredible scenery certainly left us feeling so pleased that we chose Skippers Canyon Jet boat adventure to do this trip. I have been on the shotover river with Skippers competitors but this trip supplied and delivered so much more, great value! I highly recommend Skippers Canyon Jet Boats and will do it again when next in Queenstown. The bus driver gave a very informative and enjoyable commentary, thanks guys for a 10/10!

A great start to the day!
We were filled with information and interesting stories along the way by our tour guide as we meandered through the beautiful landscapes and into the ‘dodgy’ highway to the canyon. It was a fun, slightly dangerous-looking drive and the views were incredible. The jet boat was wild but I felt completely safe and my partner and I managed to spot and pose for the majority of the cameras along the way! It began to rain as well I personally thought it added to the adventure! The final stop was my highlight; the view overlooking the bungy was picturesque and warming as the rain cleared and the sun came out.

Even More than an awesome Jet Boating expierence
We booked in March 2021, and were the only two customers on board. The team made us feel very welcome and appreciated. The jet boating was epic and was exactly what we were hoping for. What we didn’t expect was the amazing views and local knowledge provided on the bus ride through Skippers Road as well. Craig the jet boat driver was friendly, relaxed and super talented. This is more than just a Jet boat experience and would highly recommend!!
