CNN has just published a ‘scrap all those other bucket lists’ collection of the top 19 most amazing travel experiences in the world.

Shotover Jet is the only New Zealand activity to make the global list, which includes a range of ‘bank-busting’ activities at around the US$5,000 to US$6,000 per person, making Shotover Jet look extremely good value at US$108.

The 85km per hour ride is right up there with swimming with blue whales, sledding in Antarctica and renting Richard Branson’s personal island, among other unique experiences, CNN said.
