What is the minimum age for Shotover Jet and can a child travel unaccompanied?
Our Child age is 5 – 15 years 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. If you are parents who have a child or children under 1 metre but would still like to take a ride on Shotover Jet; we can help make this happen for you if you have a little bit of extra time. We can book you on separate trips so one of you is able to ride with your children over the minimum height of 1 metre while the other is able to stay with your children who are unfortunately under the minimum height regulation or if you have a child that does not wish to take a ride on Shotover Jet. Let us help you enjoy the worlds most thrilling jet boat ride.  Also see our Family Pass information
