It is not without good reason that the Shotover Jet is one of the most famous jet-boat rides in the world. With its hair-raising acceleration and 360-degree spins, this white-knuckle ride on the Shotover River is likely to be your teen's favorite and most enduring memory of their visit to New Zealand. The adrenaline-pumping journey along the river and into the Shotover Canyon—as you skim rock faces and feel like you are going to plow into the crags and boulders that the drivers actually aim for before veering away at what seems like the last second—definitely isn't for the fainthearted.
