Since then, HamiltonJet<\/a> of \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a> has been developing this jetboat propulsion system into what it is today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, jet boats are everywhere, and \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a> is no exception. \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a> is home to some of the most iconic jet boat experiences in the world, and somehow, it’s still the only country where I’ve been jet boating. I don’t really know why…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of that odd piece of trivia, I\u2019ve also been on a lot of jet boats in \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a>, and over the years, I’ve crossed a lot of jet boats off my must-do list. I even added two new ones on our last road trip<\/a>. So, if it’s your first visit to Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud, and you want to get in some jet boat thrills, here are my must-do jet boat experiences in \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a>! I promise you won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shotover Jet – Queenstown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Shotover<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 1965, 11 years after the first HamiltonJet was developed, the Shotover Jet<\/a> is perhaps the most well-known jet boat experience in the world. Winding through the Shotover Canyons, the shallow Shotover River is the perfect example of what the HamiltonJet was designed for, and makes this one of the most hair-raising jet boat rides in \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shotover<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Originally intended to raise money for Christian Youth Camps, the Shotover Jet has become an icon of \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a> tourism and even carried dignitaries such as Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. With a CV like that, it’s hard to go past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only do one jet boat ride in \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9<\/a>, this is the one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why I like the Shotover Jet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Shotover Jet has an enormous amount of history, and there is something special about that. However, the thing I like the most is the unique blend of shallow water, narrow canyon gorges, rocky outcrops and high speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shotover<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do the dawn ride for a potentially misty experience. Just, make sure to bring some gloves and a beanie, the handrails might be warmed, but it\u2019s still the coldest jet boat ride I\u2019ve done and the ice cold water spray stings when it hits your skin like tiny bullets. Do dress warmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also happens to be the only jet boat where you can get your photo taken with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, which, for most of us, is probably the closest we’ll ever get to an actual photo with the royals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
