Introduction
Shotover Valley northeast of Queenstown is carved by the Shotover River from the Southern Alps. It is among New Zealand's most famous adventure destinations — Shotover Jet skims at 85 km/h through narrow rock walls, and the bungy, jet-boat and rafting operations of the Kawarau and Shotover make the valley synonymous with adrenaline; the road is also the scenic link to Gibbston Valley and Arrowtown.
