Essential Queenstown 4WD + Shotover Jet Combo

It's the perfect combination for anyone wanting to experience two very different sides of Queenstown adventure in one tour, all within 3.5 hours.

Hold on as Shotover Jet powers through the dramatic narrow canyons of the Shotover River, including its famous 360-degree spins.

Then join your Nomad Safaris guide for a customised two hour 4WD off-road backcountry adventure. Explore historic gold-mining country around Arrowtown and the Arrow River, tackle rugged tracks and river crossings when conditions allow, discover Lord of the Rings filming locations and try your hand at traditional gold panning.
