- Complimentary courtesy coach transfers leave the Queenstown Station Building every 15 minutes (allow 1 hour 30 minutes return, including boat trip).
- Reservations are essential.
- Life jackets are mandatory and supplied by the company. Optional splash coats are also provided. In winter, gloves, hats and warm clothing are recommended. In winter months hand rails on board your jet boat are heated for passenger comfort.
- Professional photographers will capture your Shotover Jet experience and photographs will be available soon after your trip for 'no obligation' viewing.

- Safety: Highly trained drivers know the fast flowing waters of the Shotover River like the back of their hand.
