Experience the best of the Shotover River with two of its most famous activities - jet boating and white water rafting!
Race through the dramatic Shotover River Canyons before your skilled driver sends you from high speeds into a 360 degree spin.
Continue the excitement with your Shotover rafting adventure. Take the journey into Skippers Canyon by bus before you meet your experienced rafting guides at the remote launch site of Deep Creek.
Tackle six rapid sections along the Shotover River, go for a swim and soak up the rivers rich gold mining history. The long and narrow grade 4-5 Mother section will get the heart pumping as you conquer rapids such as “Squeeze”, “Pinball” and “Toilet”. To finish, raft through the darkness of the 170 metre Oxenbridge Tunnel and slide down Cascade rapid to complete the challenge!
