What to do in Skippers

Activities, attractions and tours

The drive down Skippers Canyon Road was the most beautiful and scary drive I've ever taken. The road was hand built by gold miners in the late 1800s. #skipperscanyonroad #newzealand #scenicdrives #bucketlist #drives
Beautiful spot near Queenstown
Loved the Skippers Canyon Jet Boat - best jet boat ride in Queenstown!
Located just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand, this scenic river is also the place to go jet boat riding. Crazy drivers take passengers within inches of the rock walls and do numerous 360's on the river. It's a thrilling 20 minute ride and fun for the whole family! #adventure #kidfun
This impressive landscape is believe it or not right beside the road. You can pull over just a few minutes out from Queenstown when on the way to Arrowtown and see the bending Shotover River in all of it's glory. If you dare you can take the Shotover Jet which zips along for a thrill...I opted out if that one :)
