| Description:
Hold on tight for one of the world’s most exciting jet boat rides. Shotover Jet is the only company allowed to operate on the fast-flowing Shotover River, just 10 minutes from the center of Queenstown, and takes passengers on thrilling 30-minute rides through a series of narrow canyons. Traveling at breathtaking speeds, the 14-person Big Red jet boats skim past rocky outcrops with inches to spare and twist into full 360-degree spins. It’s a wet and wild ride (passengers wear full length spray jackets) not for the frail or faint-hearted, but it’s one of the best activities in Queenstown. The rides run every 15 minutes, year-round. $99 adults, $62 children. |

| Description:
Located on the lovely Kapiti Coast, about 50 minutes’ drive north of the capital Wellington, this tight Scottish links-style course requires intuitive and smart shot selection; stray drives will end up in the deep rough. It’s not for amateurs—expect narrow fairways and long par-3s. Don’t worry about the score; just enjoy the coastal mountains in the distance and the course’s undulating oceanside hills; the par 4, 13th is one of the most picturesque holes you will ever play. Green fees start at around $65.
