125: Jetboating 27 Wild Rivers on a Solo Trip with Ollie Sharpe

from Aotearoa Adventures: The New Zealand Travel Podcast

Ollie Sharpe got into jetboating after watching YouTube videos and then bought his 3.5m boat. He shares about a two-week solo jetboat trip where he covered 27 rivers across Canterbury, Otago and the West Coast, venturing up valleys and spending a couple nights up every river with his dog. Ollie talks about his favourite rivers, how he started to get into boating, logistics, his biggest lessons and how you can start too. He also shares about winter trips and how they are different to boating in summer. Next, Ollie is keen to explore Fiordland and the North Island in his boat.Discover the best of New Zealand with myNZ Map & Guide, featuring 100+ incredible locations for your next adventure.
