In Queenstown we were able to do the fun Shotover Jet for one of our activities. It was a BLAST! Definitely a must-do if you ever go to New Zealand. Pretty much what the Shotover Jet entails is a jet boat ride that zooms through a canyon, doing spins along the way (like 360's). The water is pretty shallow but the prop is up high so it is able to go through the water. It was insane how close our driver would get to the canyon walls. I thought for sure he would hit our heads on it or skim the boat along the side rocks, but he never did. It was definitely a thrill and I kept my hands up for pretty much the whole thing!!!
It goes SO FAST!!! My eyes were watering through most of it. |
I loved the spins |
The beautiful canyon! |
I love our group of girls (and our instructor and her husband Chris) |
Let's go Brooke...wahoo! |
See ya later |
So pretty and so fast :) |
I felt like he was going to hit my arms off on the canyon walls when he zoomed right next to them |
haha cheeser....it's funny that you can't even tell how FAST we are going in this picture |
You can tell we are close to the wall here cus I clenched my fingers hoping they wouldn't hit the wall haha |
Again--crazy, crazy girl!! You can't tell how fast you're going--but you can see everyone's hair going crazy! :)
