Kia ora Hardeep, Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback and saddened to hear your experience was not a 5 star one. Our jet boat experience is unique to the area as we are the only ones allowed in the Shotover Canyons, providing you with wall to wall canyon action from start to finish. We are sorry to hear you did not feel this was value for money. If there is anything you feel we could do to improve our trip further we would love to hear from you - [email protected]. We hope you enjoyed the remainder of your time in Queenstown. Nga Mihi Sophie

Sollte man mal gemacht haben
Ich habe den Shotover Jet an meinem ersten Tag in Queenstown gemacht. Finde das war eine coole Einstimmung auf ein ereignisreiches Wochenende. Am Anfang dachte ich es wird vielleicht etwas langweilig, aber es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Man schießt mit vollem Karacho durch relativ enge Schluchten und die 360 Grad Spins sind auch sehr lustig. Man wird je nach Platzwahl schon ordentlich nass, also lieber das sexy Regencape nicht ablehnen. Bei gutem Wetter wirklich eine coole Sache. Das einzige: Ich empfand es etwas kurz. Sonst alle super nett und man bekommt für $30 ein nettes Video, also immer schön in die Kamera lächeln. Wer auf einen kleinen Adrenalinrausch aus ist (so wie ich), dem empfehle ich allerdings eher rafting oder natürlich nevis bungy.
