Gushing between ranges of hills for about 75 kilometers through the Skippers Canyon, the Shotover River in Zealand is renowned to be one of the richest rivers in the world for its rich gold mining history. The river has amazing rapids in its flow and river rafting at the rafting can make you skip a heartbeat.
Jet Boat rides are another exemplary activity at the river that takes you on a roller coaster ride through the canyons. For adventure enthusiasts, Shotover River is one of the stupefying places to visit in Queenstown.
