    Great experience, lots of excitement.

    The journey up was great too! Knowledgeable driver and funny. Jet boat was quality, shame it was over so quick.

    The drive to Skippers Canyon was epic along the old goldmine track. Our driver was great up to the canyon with lots of stories and history about the place.

    The jet boat was ok, not as much of an adrenalin rush as I thought it would be.

    The jetboat ride was fun - there were two 360' turns (I wished for more!).

    Also, great commentary by the skipper. After the boat ride, they took us to the old bungy site with a suspension bridge where you can take beautiful pictures from. Great experience and value for money.

    Good use for more mature customer, good history lesson on the drive there and back and the original bungy.

    However, not enough time on the water, and too much stopping whilst on the water.

    Don't bother with Shotover jetboat unless you have no time. Trip up Skippers Canyon with great commentary. Description of the gold rush facilities. Jetboat ride was great with more commentary about actual gold mining sites. 3 hours.

    We chose combined gold tour which was well done but aimed towards the older traveller, a little tame for us.

    Included Jetboat, 4x4 ride and museum.

    Good value. You are escorted to Shotover River by bus from your campsite then an exhilirating Jet Boat excursion up the river and back, then you are returned to your campsite.

    Awesome.

    Perfect way to finish a perfect holiday. Everyone who loves a bit of adrenaline will love this. The ride through the canyon is an adventure itself accompanied with a bit of a historical backround and finished of with an amazing jet boat ride. Great value for money.
