Great experience and worth every cent. If you have Meta glasses, definitely worth bringing them foe the best photos/video's.
When booking through third party like viator, read fine print and make sure you cancel within 24hrs. Even if 5 or 10 mins late it's unlikely you'll get a refund even with good reason. Having said that, the crew of the actual adventure were great when trying to cancel and were very nice people. We will try again at another time and book direct with the operator.
We had a great time as a family going on the shotover jets! Highly recommend! The team are very efficient and friendly.
Kia ora, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you and your family had such a great time with us.

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome your family back for another adventure the next time you're in Queenstown! Ngā mihi, Shotover Jet Team
Hi, we had this booked and ready and it started to slightly drizzle and immediately got cancelled and had to rebook and then again showed up and got canceled again from little to no rain so definitely recommend booking when weather is good or else you’ll be left like us and can’t go 😢😢
Awesome experience. Beautiful spot in the river.
Absolutely fabulous, our driver Ryan was also incredibly friendly and we felt so safe. Was so fun and I was so nervous beforehand but was made to feel at ease and really enjoyed it. Our daughter aged 11 is still talking about it just fabulous. The blonde Australian girl though when we checked in inside needs some serious customer service training and was so rude and sour, for someone working in a tourist experience and for customers paying so ku ch she shouldn’t be the face of the company.
Turned up and got on with only an hour wait I would recommend booking in advance as others were turned away due to how busy they were. One of the best experiences of my life, drivers are amazing as were all staff
A must do in Queenstown, Friendly and experienced staff
