Weather is looking good for just about anything except paragliding, so it's time to decide which of the jet boats to try out. Everyone looking for a thrill does the Shotover, but its a short run of only 25min, and I'm looking for something to make better use of the day, so I have a look at the 3 hour version on the Dart River in the nearby town of Glenorchy which is about 30min away. The Shotover is more a stunt ride which runs close to the canyon walls while the Dart River ride is more of scenic run through a lot of shallows.Royce, our jetboat driver takes us upstream about 35km at full throttle from the town of Glenorchy through the shallow river to a point where you couldn't travel much further even by kayak.
