Absolutely great!
Was a really nice experience, the way to Skippers Canyon was really stunning and the driver was very professional and humourous too. and 5 stars to the jet boat!

WOW
What a great experience, not only the Jetboat but the bus trip in is worth the $$$ spent. Highly professional people run this outfit and they would have to be with the road in and out of the canyon. Couldn't have rated this higher, a must do for thrill seekers.

A nice afternoon out
My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the jet boat ride and the history tour and views on the way to Skippers Canyon. The only thing we would improve would be the air conditioning on the way to the river. We went during the NZ summer and it was a very hot day. Enjoy people!
From Skippers Canyon Jet Boat Adventure
Thanks for the review Callan! Glad you both enjoyed your trip with us! We have air conditioning on all the buses but must of been an exceptionally hot NZ summer day when you guys came out to not feel the effects- we've been lucky to have had a few days like that the last few weeks! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Queenstown! Thanks again for coming out with us!

Family thrills
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Peter our van driver was very knowledgable on the drive down the Skippers road. Lots of history and stories. Craig our jetboat driver gave us some thrills yet I felt safe.
From Skippers Canyon Jet Boat Adventure

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
