Almost every Oceania coach tour in Queenstown includes a drive out to Arthurs Point to the Shotover Jet.  This is a real highlight for everyone. What a thrill to speed over churning rapids and through narrow, twisting gorges past rocky outcrops.  And the 360 degree spin at the end – you certainly won’t forget that!
