Jet Boat Tour in Arthurs Point, New Zealand

Frequently Asked Questions: • What should I wear? - We recommend that you dress for the conditions and simply be mindful that there will be some wind-chill factor as you are travelling at speed. In summer don’t forget your sunblock and some people get concerned that it may be too cold in winter, however simply dress warmly and bring a warm hat and gloves (although our handrails are heated) just like you would for skiing and sunglasses are great year round. • Will I get wet, if so how wet? - Some would argue that it is all part of the fun of the Jet experience to get a little wet but if you are particularly concerned about your hair style, then we would recommend that you try and sit in the centre seats on the boat. We do provide full length spray jackets to wear under your life jackets but we require you leave all electronic devices in our secure locker storage. • What is the minimum age and can a child travel unaccompanied? - Children 5 – 15 years travel for $75 and we will carry infants (3-4 years) but all children must be a minimum of 1 metre high to be able to ride in the 'Jet Boat'. Shotover Jet does reserve the right to extend this to 1.2 metres tall should the weather and river conditions on the day dictate. Children aged 10-15 can travel unaccompanied as long as a parent or guardian is on-site, but children any younger must travel with a parent or guardian aged 16 years or older. • Will there be somewhere to leave my belongings? - Yes - we have complimentary secure locker facilities at our Beach Reception Unit just prior to boarding the 'Jet Boat'.
