A adrenaline rush from start to finish, perfect nz tourist attraction great service and staff interaction thanks OXBOW
So happy you enjoyed it! It really is a rush! Always great to hear the team made the experience even better for you :) Cheers, The Team at Oxbow Adventure Co
Sometimes these experiences are not as good as they are hyped up to be but this experience was absolutely amazing!!! It deserves all the hype it can get . From a truly unique off road trip with a driver that has some special skills to a world class jet sprint. Can’t rate this highly enough. Thanks team we were left buzzing all the way home .
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations and lived up to the hype, that’s exactly what we aim for. It’s great to know you enjoyed all three activities, especially the off-road adventure and the jet sprint boating, our drivers will be stoked to hear your kind words about their skills! We love that you left feeling buzzing all the way home, that’s what it’s all about. Thanks again for choosing to spend your time with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
This is long past due. Last year I went to Oxbow adventures and bloody loved it. I did all three activities and would highly recommend doing all three as there very different in their own right. Special highlight was shooting with the mrs. We've both never shot before and with our expert instructor 'Skinny', we both shot nearly all of our targets. Special shoutout to skinny, if you listen to he's instructions, you'll not only have a great time but you'll hit all your targets. Otherwise thanks Gerry and Nick for both the speed boat ride and the off roading experience.
Thanks so much for this awesome review, we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. It’s great to hear you got stuck into all three activities, they really do each bring something different to the table, and doing the full combo is the best way to experience it all! We’re especially glad you and your partner had such a great time on the clay shooting. Skinny will be stoked to hear the shoutout, he’s a legend at what he does, and you’re absolutely right… listen carefully and those targets don’t stand a chance! And we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to Geri and Nick as well, sounds like they delivered an epic time on both the jet boat and off-roader! Thanks again for coming out to see us, we’d love to have you back for round two anytime
Great experience from start to finish. Every member of staff we spoke to was friendly and helpful. The instructions and coaching for the clay pigeon shooting was brilliant. Great variation of clay traps that simulate different animals and require different techniques. The jet boats and the off roaders are both incredible machines that shouldn't be missed on a trip to Queenstown. I recommend doing all three activities.

It’s great to know our gear kept you comfortable and dry. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in better conditions!
We had a fantastic time at Oxbow. All the staff were great. We did the jet boat ride and my husband and even my 7 year old was impressed. Only my hubby and I did shooting with Skinny who was the best teacher (kids need to be 13). He really explained techniques for the different launches. We both hit a few clay pigeons and loved it (might even take it up as a sport). The ultimate off roading was wild and the boys couldn't choose their favourite activity! We had a ball! The jet boat driver, skinny and the driver of the offroader Jason are very skilled! Definitely recommend Oxbow!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🙌 We’re thrilled to hear that everyone — from your 7-year-old to the adults — had such a fantastic time. Skinny and Jason will be thrilled to hear your kind words, and it’s great to know you enjoyed both the clay shooting and ultimate off-roading. Sounds like a full day of fun and adventure! We really appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you all back for another Oxbow adventure.
This was one of the best days I’ve ever had anywhere! Pro staff. Ther highllight for us both was the offroasing, never have I dropped vertically in a car and I’d so do that again! It was amazing! The jetsprints and shooting with Francis were also fab! Francis was a great person to have alongside while trying to hit those clay circles! He was so patient and helpful. A true professional! The staff were excellent, great instructions and safety beiefings and all were very nice and looked very happy to be at work. Makes a change to see people passionate about their jobs. Thank you so much is so it again! I’d recommend it as a must do to those visiting around! Action packed A++++
Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! 🙌 We’re thrilled to hear you had such an action-packed day and loved every part of it — from off-roading to jet sprinting and clay shooting.
