From the initial booking and contact with Laura to the pick up in central Queenstown, absolutely brilliant instructions from Skinny to the impeccable handling of the off road ATV. The whole experience was amazing and a definite must do.

It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the instructions and handling throughout the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
Our family loved this adventure activity - clay shooting and off road buggy. Our kids are still talking about it being the highlight of our 2 weeks in the South Island. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the area. The staff were lovely and our kids learnt some great skills at clay shooting. You need to make sure you don’t miss this place!

The team will be delighted to hear your kind words. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you all back for another adventure on your next visit to the South Island!
One of the best things I have ever done in Queenstown!! The clay pigeon shooting was so much fun and the off roading was absolutely insane!! An absolute must do if you are visiting the region! We didn’t have a car and we got picked up in the heart of Queenstown. So easy and so much fun!
Thanks for the awesome feedback! 🙌 So glad you loved the clay shooting and off-roading — and that the central Queenstown pickup made it easy. Can’t wait to have you back for more fun!
A truly superb experience! We did all three activities (a couple of oldies and 3 ¬20year olds) and each was awesome! A fantastic set up, really different and adrenaline pumping activities. Best of all were the staff who were genuinely delightful, fun to chat with and clearly invested in this new venture. Can't recommend it highly enough (for all ages!)
Thank you for such an amazing review of your time at Oxbow Adventure Co. We really appreciate your compliments and support. I agree there is something for all ages here and our activities are world-class! I will ensure to pass your kind words onto the rest of the team Kind Regards Savannah & The Oxbow Adventure Co Team
Went to Oxbow Adventure Center with my two Teens 18 and 13. We took advantage of the clay shooting and off road driving experiences. Clay shooting with Nick was a BLAST! Pun intended. Nick was patient with me, an experienced shooter and my 13 year old Boy Scout. Nick got my Scout to shoot with 80% effectiveness with his simple tips and advice. 8 clay throwers will give even experienced shooters a run for their money. Nick gave us eyes and ears and new Baretta over under 12 gauges to dust the birds. We had a great time shooting for about 45 minutes. Great fun and clean and safe range Nick, many thanks Mate! Bush took over showing us how an 8 cylinder land rocket works. We never got past third gear getting up to 80 mph in stretches adequately protected with helmets mud suits and buffs to keep the goat crud from winding up in your mouth. Bush took us on a track that included fast straits 70 degree wall climbs and billy goat style trail navigation. Conclude the 15 minute ride with some donuts for a photo op near the sign in area and you can check that block off. Thanks Bush! Thanks for showing me the levers to have the rear wheels track. I can’t leave out the BEAUTIFUL smart and sophisticated ladies that handled the check in process. I was too busy trying not to drool to observe name tags but lovely Irish gals and magazine beautiful Kiwis. Check in was painless. 5 star day, 5 start outfit at Oxbow Adventure Center. Cheers to all involved! Doug Ward Sterling VA

The Team at Oxbow Co were just awesome! From the time we were first served to our last extreme ride on the off-roader just amazing people. They were nice and they knew what they were doing when they were running us through the clay bird shooting and the driver on the off road vehicle. It was sick!!!! Ya’ll need to try this if you haven’t 🫡 and the views driving there is also nice 😊
