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
Really glad I did this, both the off-road and jet boat are unique and very entertaining. Staff were all awesome.
Did both Jet boating and the ultimate off-road both were excellent got your adrenaline going.recomend
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!!
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!!
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.
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!
Absolutely awesome experience Very friendly and helpful staff Was a fantastic start to our day Would definitely do this again
This was an experience you can never forget. Staff were amazing. We highly recommend that put this on your to do list when visiting Central Otago.
Staff was so great and kind! Made you feel at ease and the adventure was intimidating at first but so fun. Would definitely do again.
Best thing in all of Queenstown!! Go out of your way to do the Sprint Boat and Off-road Buggy. Totally insane but safe at the same time. The drivers can vary the intensity for anyone…our daughter fractured her wrist the day before but was accommodated on the ride. Do not miss this one!
Amazing experience and friendly, great staff would highly recommend unreal experience and atmosphere. 10/10 would definitely go again.
What makes Oxbow special isn’t just the incredible activities – it’s the people. We went yesterday and the team were absolutely fantastic. They’re welcoming, professional, and genuinely want you to have a great time, which makes the whole experience even better. You really can’t not have a good experience there. We did the off-road and jet experiences. The off-road drive was awesome – challenging, fun, and a real adventure. The jet experience was next level. Feeling the G-forces as the boat accelerates is incredible and had us grinning the whole time. They are highly attentive to all the mini humans doing activities. Highly recommend Oxbow for anyone wanting an unforgettable experience with an equally great team.
Awesome Experience. The 4WD was really next level. Fully worth it. The team also allows to fly drones to capture the action - and in my case even helped to fly it and do the recording :)
I decided to book the jet sprint and ultimate off roading during a solo trip to Queenstown and it has been the highlight of my time here! The staff were very friendly, kind and extremely skilled at their crafts. Safety gear was top notch and I felt safe at all times. Absolutely unreal experience.
What a buzz, the off roading was fantastic fun however the jet sprint boat was next level, it was just wicked. The Off-Roader and Jet sprint boat drivers were great making sure we were comfortable while at the same time, making sure we had an awesome time. The only downside is the rides had to come to an end, we wish we could have kept going.
Well worth it. Was a unique experience only Oxbow can provide. Me and my son highly enjoyed, and 5 stars to the staff and experience
Thank you Fleur and team for sharing your 5th birthday with my son Louie. He spent his birthday money and loved every minute of his special day!
Such a fun and thrilling experience and the team there were amazing. We were well looked after and cared for! They took videos of our experience for FREE on the jet boat which we appreciated so much! Such kind people.
Booked the 4x4 Off Road and Jet Boat experience for myself, my husband and my adult son, and we all absolutely loved it! The 4x4 off road ride was fun and thrilling in itself, but the 4 seater jet boat ride was just awesome! As an almost 70 year old, seasoned rollercoaster fanatic, I have to say that the jet boat is the fastest, most exhilarating ride I’ve ever been on! And a shout out for all the staff and drivers that we encountered that day, as they were friendly, helpful and fun to be around. Thank you all for a fantastic experience!
Amazing couple of hours with a top team of instructors/drivers doing clay shooting, jet sprint and off-road course, will definitely recommending to any friends from home that come out to NZ 🏴
Both the 4x4 and the jet boat were both exhilarating and fun. The course for the 4x4 were designed very well.
Adrenaline activity we as a group of 8 really enjoyed. Team members made us feel welcome. Another great attraction to add to your Queenstown experience.
This experience was even better than I anticipated. Highly recommend the jet sprint boat and off road combo. So much fun! The jet sprint boat is more intense and those boats handle like they are on rails! The team are amazing and explain everything really well before each trip and can cater for different levels of thrills. Overall one of the best experiences in Queenstown area.
Picked this as part of a conference event while we where in Queenstown. Staff are amazing and the adrenaline from both the jet sprint boats and the mad max looking all wheel drives was one of the best things I’ve done.
This is all self-contained on Oxbow’s property. You won’t be riding the waves on the nearby river or tearing up the terrain deep in the hills. Still the car was fun with an amazing ability to handle steep ascents and descents. The boat was fast with fun turns.
Boom, number one experience in Queenstown. A bus ride to the venue with Skinny- He is a tourist attraction alone..You would pay money to drive around town with this bloke....If it's on in town, he knows all..this bloke is a walking Almanac.... The Veue is 5 star, a bloody professional outfit in everyway. I have rated this The Number 1 experience of all things to do in Queenstown by a mile. You will walk away with the biggest smile on your face and head straight to the airport, trip completed! This is a must for extreme activities!!!
Wow, wow, wow! 5 star rating is not enough for these activities. I can’t rate the experience highly enough. I’m not even a tourist, but a long term local & I can’t wait to take more friends to do the experience again! One of the best things I’ve ever experienced in action activities and I’ve done every activity you can do in Queenstown.
Had an amazing time with my son doing the jet sprint boat and off-roading. Both were an adrenaline buzz. I would certainly recommend to others.
This was a new find for me, It was actually a brilliant experience. Going on the cars first was so fun, the track they have made and the experience they give you is so fun, the drivers are extremely good and entertaining. After a couple of drinks at the cool outdoor bar, which is layered in dust thanks to the cars flying past on the dirt road, it was so funny watching them try to clean it. Another unique fun experience. After that we jumped on the boats spur of the moment. which i assumed would be less fun than the cars, however it was even more intense and so much fun, the 4G cornering you can really feel. Overall, I massively rate this place.
One of the favourite experiences whilst in Queenstown visiting family!!! The place is well set up and both the jet sprint and ultimate off raider were exhilarating!!! Highly recommend getting out there!!!
This was great the best fun in a while the buggy so cool and the jet boat omg did expect how fast we go. Would definitely go again next time we are here
We went for our work party and it was UNREAL!! Everything from the staff to location to experience- 15/10. Thank you so much for accommodating us, we are a thrill-seeking bunch and this exceeded our already very high expectations! We will be back for more!
Talk about exhilaration! Transport service picked up and dropped off from designated bus stop. Extremely convenient. Staff are very friendly, easy to get along with, informative and knowledgeable. Both the modified 4WD vehicle and Jet boat are very impressive. Would highly recommend to experience this joy! - Brandon
Fantastic! So glad we chose this rather than the standard jetboating. Great people who looked after us but what really made it were the amazing machines. The off-roading was great fun and the noise of the V8 hard to beat. But the jet boat scrambled my brain initially, due to both the acceleration and the cornering g forces. Both were short duration compared to Shot over etc but much much higher adrenalin and fun. Recommended most highly!
The Jet boat is unlike anything you've ever done- the speed, acceleration and gforce was awesome. Big group at a corporate event and each person came back with a smile. Professionals down to earth helpful and funny. 4wd was just as brilliant. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and gave you the sense they enjoyed their jobs. Appreciated letting me get up and close to the motors and asked a million questions. The girl serving the drinks was smiley and accommodating- also let me use the office as some urgent work arose whilst there. A magic experience that I would highly recommend,. Bought the Tshirt !! Do this ! you wont regret it!!!!
We had an amazing day with our work team. The staff at Oxbow were the friendliest bunch and made you feel very welcome. From start to finish with organising our team was made really easy. Thanks for a great day out. Our staff really enjoyed themselves.
This was the best adrenaline experience I have ever had and I will never forget it. The whole thing was so well done and what a professional Team of people that delivered this. I seriously could not fault a thing and would highly recommend to everyone to give this place a go. Thank you so much.
Wha a fantastic trip to ox bow adventure. Firstly the staff apon arrival are friendly and welcoming. The the safety side of the trip is 💯. So now for the off road and jet boat. Both drivers were sensational, funny and man can they handle the machines. It’s an experience like no others. The off road is amazing, thrilling and how the driver does what is does is mind blowing. It’s a must do activity. The jet boat…..well of the scale adrenaline both quality in their own way. Don’t regret not doing this activity. book up…
We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. My hubby and two teenage sons did the jet sprint. They raved about it. Driver was awesome said our 14 year old. I decided to do the ultimate off-roader once we arrived there. I loved it. Driver was very skilled and it was great entertainment, Would highly recommend doing this. Great afternoon out. Can't wait to visit Queenstown again as we will definitely be returning to Oxbow.
We were gifted a voucher to Oxbow for our honeymoon and it was an amazing way to kickstart the week! Fast, crazy experience but the staff made me feel safe every step of the way! 10/10 recommend!
Amazing activities great fun! Staff were amazing friendly, informative and keep the banter going all day! Would definitely recommend to do!
