Queenstown Jet Boating
 |
Jet boats were designed by Bill Hamilton as a way
to travel around the shallow rivers on his
farm. The principle is that is drawn in and
pumped out at great force. No propeller or
rudder is needed which means that jet boats
can operate in very shallow water.

Jetboats move at great speed and provide a
thrill-seeking adventure. There are a number
of jet boat companies operating on different
rivers and lakes including the very popular
Shotover Jet which departs from Arthur’s
Point close to the town centre. Listed below
are some great Jet Boat tours, just click the
