We did the Off-roading and Jet-sprinting as part of our works do. I will definitely be telling friends and family about how much fun both experiences were, and I'll bring my partner back to have a go. Our guides, Jordy and Jerry (apologies if spelling is off!) were absolutely brilliant. Perfect personalities for the job - fun, hilarious and highly skilled in what they do. 5/5 - thanks team!
Everyone had a fantastic time even though it was a cold wet day, that just added to the thrill. The staff were really friendly & helpful even giving my wife tips on where to take the best photos from. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re glad to hear that everyone had such a great time, even with the cold and wet weather ( Definitely more fun if you don't mind the mud! ) It’s wonderful to know our team made you feel welcome and helped your wife find the best spots for those photos. Thanks again for the recommendation, we really appreciate it! Cheers, The Oxbow Adventure Co. Team
Really glad I did this, both the off-road and jet boat are unique and very entertaining. Staff were all awesome.
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed both the off-road adventure and jet boat experience, it’s great to hear you found them unique and entertaining! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you back for another adventure soon! Thank you, Oxbow Adventure Co.
Did both Jet boating and the ultimate off-road both were excellent got your adrenaline going.recomend
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re stoked to hear you enjoyed both the jet boating and the Ultimate Off-Road experience. Thanks for the recommendation and we hope to see you back for another adventure soon! Thank you, Oxbow Adventure Co.
One of the great experiences!! The staff were fantastic!! The check in was easy and the safety brief was comprehensive. Even though I was the only person booked at that time, they still took me alone. Just make sure you take some gloves in the colder months, you go very fast and your hands freeze!!
Thanks for the awesome review! Great to hear you had such a good time and that the team made everything easy, from check-in through to the safety briefing. We're glad we could get you out there, even with a session of one! Can definitely get a bit chilly on those colder days when you're moving at speed. We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you back again sometime soon! Cheers, The Team at Oxbow Adventure Co
Wow!! AN ABSOLUTE MUST! The service is phenomenal with every member taking care of you and making sure you’re having an awesome time! We came on Tuesday for the Jet Sprint Boat and 15 mins after leaving we had already decided we NEEDED to go back (which we did the following day as well as doing the Off Roading)!! Both activities were phenomenal, drivers were amazing at making you feel safe but pushing it to the limit with a proper adrenaline rush We have been to Queenstown many times, doing almost every activity you could think of and Oxbow Adventure is an absolute favourite! A Queenstown holiday is not complete without going to Oxbow Adventure :) Service is top notch, activities are the BEST and definitely make you want to come again! It won’t be out last time!!
Hi Shahana! Wow, thank you so much for such an incredible review! We absolutely loved having you both out here, and you coming back the very next day honestly means the world to us! The Jet Sprint and Off-Road combo definitely brings the adrenaline, so we’re stoked to hear both experiences lived up to the hype. Our crew will be so happy to hear your kind words too. It means a lot to hear that after so many Queenstown adventures, Oxbow stands out as a favourite! We can’t wait to welcome you back again for even more action next time you’re in town. See you again soon! The Oxbow Team
We booked the Epic Duo package (Jet Sprint Boating + Ultimate Off-Roading) and it completely lived up to the name. From the moment we arrived, the team was friendly, organised, and clearly passionate about what they do. Everything felt safe and professional, but still full of adrenaline and fun. The jet sprint boating was insane in the best way possible. The speed, the tight turns, the water spraying everywhere — it’s impossible not to laugh and hold on for dear life at the same time. It felt intense but controlled, and the drivers made it obvious they really know their craft. The ultimate off-roading was just as impressive. The terrain, steep climbs, drops, and angles the vehicles can handle are unbelievable. It felt like a proper adventure rather than a short tourist ride. Every minute was engaging and exciting. We enjoyed it so much that we had to take our son back the very next day so he could experience it again. That alone says everything about how much we loved it. If someone is considering this experience, it is absolutely worth it. A genuinely epic day out and something we will be talking about for a long time.
Hi George, What an incredible review, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that the Epic Duo lived up to its name for you. It’s great to know our team made you feel welcome, safe and well looked after from the moment you arrived. That balance of professionalism and pure adrenaline is exactly what we aim for. Jet sprint boating really is a wild ride, so we love hearing how much you enjoyed it. It’s awesome that the off-roading adventure matched that energy, those climbs and angles definitely surprise a lot of people! The fact that you came back the very next day with your son honestly means the world to us. There’s no better compliment than wanting to do it all over again and share it with family too. Thanks again for your kind words and recommendation! Thank you, Oxbow Adventure Co.
Firstly, Charlie would like to apologise to Jordan for deafening him with her screams. Jerry and Jordan were legends and made both the buggy and jet boat an absolutely epic experience!
Hi, Thanks so much for the awesome review! Charlie, no need to apologise, we reckon the screams are all part of the experience (and a good sign you were having a great time). We’ll be sure to pass that on to Jordan, he’ll get a good laugh out of it! We’re stoked to hear you had such an epic time on both the buggy and the jet boat. Geri and Jordan will be stoked to hear they made your experience so memorable. Thanks again for coming out with us, we’d love to have you back anytime for round two! Thank you, Oxbow Adventure Co.
Absolutely awesome experience Very friendly and helpful staff Was a fantastic start to our day Would definitely do this again
