Jet boats are a New Zealand invention. The ones screaming up and down Shotover Canyon, right outside of Queenstown, boast 560 horsepower and carry up to 14 passengers. They reach 80 km/h, only inches away from the sheer rock walls of the canyon, and perform 360° spins that get everybody in the boat dripping wet. Check out this video:

After the exhilarating ride in the jet boat it is time for lunch.  What could be better than some fresh, juicy New Zealand pizza? Hmmm, tasty...
