If you like speed and spectacular scenery, take a jetboat ride along the famous Shotover River Canyons in New Zealand. Shotover Jet, the only company permitted to operate in the these canyons, uses custom built boats to provide the ultimate thrill. The company is situated at Arthurs Point, six kilometers from Queenstown, New Zealand (Video). Expert boat drivers maneuver the boat through the canyons. The boat stops from time to time to give passengers the chance to look around and absorb the scenery.

The company provides life jackets and full length Spray Jackets. You can bring a camera aboard the boat or purchase one of the professional photos taken during the trip. If you are hungry after experiencing a wild adrenaline rush, the company offers casual dining overlooking the scenic river. Reservations are required.
