Activities in Skippers Canyon
Skippers Canyon is a popular tourist area with rafting, jet boating and tour companies showing people the historic goldmining area of Skippers and Lord of the Rings locations.
This is one of the best jet boating experiences in the Queenstown area. We can highly recommend you take advantage of the discounted price we can offer you as we are only 5 minutes (10 minute walk) down to the jetty on the river.
