Charge through an awe inspiring canyon towering intimidatingly over the river, and grip the handrail with white knuckled hands as the jetboat careens past craggy cliff faces and rocky canyon walls. Your adrenalin levels skyrocket as you coast the shallow waters of the Shotover River at terrifying speeds and launch into dizzying jet spins, otherwise known as Hamilton turns. A jetboat ride with Skippers Canyon adventures in Queenstown is the only way you can explore the renowned Skippers Canyon in such an exciting manner. The company is the only one allowed to operate in the area.

Get to see several filming locations used in the making of the Lord of the Rings, learn about the incredible engineering prowess of the early pioneers and enjoy your driver’s commentary as he details the history of various mining relics littering the riverbank.

● Transient: Transient travellers are guests who book at non-group and non-negotiated rates. Transient travellers typically book short stays within a relatively small booking window, and they may be travelling for business or leisure purposes. They may book a few days in advance, be walk-in guests, or book same-day online reservations. ● Corporate Negotiated Rates (CNRs): CNRs represent business travellers who book at specified rates previously agreed upon by the hotel and travel buyers or planners for a national business. Hotels receive RFPs for corporate accounts from lead sourcing platforms, global distribution systems (GDSs), or as the result of brand agreements. ● Local Negotiated Rates (LNRs): Similar to CNRs, locally negotiated rates are established between the hotel sales or revenue manager and local businesses nearby. Hotels often locate LNRs by uncovering new business travel needs in their area. Local businesses may require hotel accommodations for annual meetings, conferences, audits, union negotiations, expansions, or other business activities that include out-of-town visitors. ● MICE: One of the largest hotel market segments, MICE business refers to a block of rooms, typically booked and coordinated by a primary MICE contact, reserved at a discounted rate.
