Just brilliant! We were in Queenstown 10 years ago, during our last visit to NZ, and remember it was the capital of adrenalin adventures. Being 10 years elder we were a little more conservative in choosing our adventures. A jet boat ride is an iconic activity on Queenstown’s lakes and rivers.
The jet boat skims over the water very fast. We raced downstream for over 43 km through canyons, rapids and shallows missing the canyon walls by inches, seeming to drive over the pebble banks beside the river and executing several 360 degree spins just for the thrill of it and to soak the passengers with flying spray! The return ride was a repeat performance with a few spins. It was a great one hour thrill with gorgeous scenery.
Yes, the water really is this blue, you could just spend the day trekking or driving around taking in all the beauty. Snow capped mountains surround this great town.
Stay tuned for the next post of David flying an airplane and Karen taking photos during a flight over this beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes.
