Important note
Children must be at least 1m tall to ride the "Jet Boat." Shotover Jet reserves the right to increase this height requirement to 1.2m based on weather and river conditions. Paid tickets are required for children aged 5–15. Children under 5 can ride for free with a paying adult. Children aged 10–15 may travel unaccompanied as long as a parent or guardian is present on-site, but any younger children must travel with a parent or guardian aged 16 or older.
We recommend choosing appropriate clothing based on the weather. Keep in mind that it can get quite windy when the speedboat is moving, especially in winter. Although our handrails are heated, please remember to dress warmly. Ski equipment, hats, and gloves are very useful in winter! Don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen during summer.
