Float to a Queenstown paradise

Jetboating on the Dart River, south of Queenstown, has long been the antithesis of the adrenalin rush on the Shotover River.

On the Dart the excitement is more likely to come from the mountains that tower over it, including the lofty Mt Earnslaw.

Now you can appreciate the pristine environment of the Dart River Valley even more by taking a jetboat upstream and floating downstream to Paradise - yes, that's what the spot near Glenorchy is called - in a safe, inflatable, two-person canoe called a funyak.
