How's it going Steemers??
Recently I got back from a birthday getaway to New Zealand that my lovely girlfriend organized for me☺ and I got to see the snow for the first time🤘🤘🍺🍺
We drove past the Discovery Jet boat place every day for our three days of snowboarding and we all said we have to do this on our last day!
We rocked up at 10am and it was about two degrees. We were all a bit worried about getting wet in the boat. Luckily our boat captain was on the same page - he didn't want to get wet either! He said he would do his best to avoid that so we loaded up the jet boat and hit the water.
We were at the base of Mt Hutt which is about an hour from Christchurch, the land scape is just beautiful! The gorge is full of crystal blue water from the melted snow from the mountains and the river runs through lime stone cliffs.
Our captain knows these rivers like the back of his hand as we speed ever so close to the edge of the cliffs with the wind in our hair and water spray on our face.
We rip it down the river and the captain sends a couple of 360's which was super fun. This was definitely the best way to explore the gorge.
So if you are ever near Mt Hutt, checking out the Rakaia Gorge should definitely be on your to do list.
