• Skippers Canyon Jetboat

    2025年2月5日, ニュージーランド ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    First New Zealand adrenaline adventure! Booked a jet boat ride for NZ$169! Jet boats are a Kiwi invention, with a high powered jet instead of a propeller, so they only need about 3 inches of water to work once they’re up to speed.

    Picked us up in a little tour bus, saw a view point of the city, then down this single lane mining road from the late 1800s which was very narrow and very steep but so beautiful! Created cause gold was found in the area. Drove us down to the river where the boats were waiting, and we went up and down the river at super high speeds in super shallow water for about 30-40mins! The water was too shallow even for the rafters to be going at this time of year!
    Saw an old bungee (bungy here) jump location and then headed back into town!
