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.
-
This is a kick arse experience.
The drive into the canyon with the history lesson is great and the boat ride, brilliant.

-
Brilliant trip out and well worth the money.
Friendly, funny, informative staff. It had a nice mix of history and fun combined.

Great value.
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.
-
Pickup at door, great narrow mountain track and scenery, excellent jet boat ride and drive back to camp.
-
-
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.
-
Because we could ride and see Skippers Canyon as extra on top of the jetride itself.
Very professionally done.
-
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 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.

Excellent local knowledge, enjoyed learning the gold rush history of the canyon.
Jet boat - very fun!

Excellent!
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.
-
Great trip to Skippers Canyon, a bit further than the competition.
Lots of interesting trivia on the walk. Maybe a bit pricey.
-
-
Very scenic bus trip on Skippers Road and funny race with jet boat.
Good story telling by the drivers about the goldmining time.
-
Too far to reach, but an excellent sight - very exciting, very kind especially Roy!
I will recommend to Korean travellers.
