Shotover River

The Shotover River, a tributary that flows into the Kawarau River beneath the iconic Kawarau Bridge, is a dynamic waterway and a key attraction for visitors to Queenstown. The journey to the river is an adventure on its own, with the road to Skippers Canyon winding through rugged, mountainous terrain. This scenic route offers a preview of the natural beauty that awaits, as the river itself is a hub for aquatic activities. Today, visitors can experience the thrill of jet boating, rafting, and other water sports, making the Shotover River a true outdoor playground.
