When it comes to sheer, blinding terror and excitement, there's not much around to beat Queenstown's Shotover Jet experience. The big red boats race through narrow, rock-walled canyons, up shallow rivers and just when you think you can relax, they spin you 360-degrees in the middle of the river. It's not for the faint-hearted but if you're in the mood for 'blowing the cobwebs out of your life' this will do the trick nicely - and over two million people who've taken the ride since 1970 can attest to that. www.shotoverjet.com
