About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ranga7RoN0 contributionsBloody awesome experience!The value for money was crazy. Did the clay shooting and jet boat part and we left with a massive smile. The guys running the range were amazing and the jet boat driver is incredible! Would absolutely recommend for anyone who is an adrenaline junky.Written 6 September 2024
- David H0 contributionsMay the force be with you !Nothing can prepare you for what you are about to feel and experience. Devastatingly fast from 0 to 100km in 2 seconds followed by extremely rapid turns that tries to pull your face off. Absolutely no time to catch your breath during a lap (there is between laps). Our 1st lap was at 70% power - the rest were at 100% - WOW. DO IT AGAIN ? - definitelyWritten 4 September 2024
- lovetotravelhk0 contributionsWoohoo! What a fun time!We had a blast learning to shoot clay pigeons with Skinny. He’s patient and gave us a lot of support as it was our first time using shotguns. A great ending to our Queenstown trip.Written 1 September 2024
- K4277TUmarkd0 contributionsAn absolute must do while in QueenstownPicked 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.Written 7 August 2024
- Escape444551445460 contributionsHighlight of our tripWe visited Oxbow on the second day of our week long trip to Queenstown. Their unique activities and awesome staff made this experience the highlight of our holiday. Can’t possibly recommend this company more to anyone who wishes to attend. Myself and my partner did all three activities finishing up with a few drinks overlooking their beautiful property and the scenery it has to offer. My partners (24F) favourite activity of the day was the Clay Target Shooting, whereas mine (23M) was the Ultimate Off-Roading. The Staff were all incredibly friendly and eager to ensure our visit was to the highest standard.Written 5 August 2024
- KidDocDMC0 contributionsA nice way to spend an hour or so outside of QueenstownThis 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.Written 6 July 2024
- 217anthonyc0 contributionsNumber 1 Activity in QueenstownBoom, 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!!!Written 30 June 2024
- Sightseer573418605530 contributionsAmazing Staff and Amazing ExperienceClay shooting was great, as someone who had never done it before Jamie was excellent at instructing. He made it interesting as well as having a laugh. From the initial booking with Fleur who was unbelievably helpful and friendly to everyone on site who made our experience brilliant. The site itself is welcoming and the bar is definitely a bonus! Thank you guys!Written 9 June 2024
- Aares0 contributionsWOW... a MUST for adrenaline junkies...OMG...This place is AMAZING! Went to Oxbow as part of an adventure trip and it was off the charts memorable! The Jet Sprint Boating and Ultimate Off-Roading is next level - a MUST for adrenaline junkies! Loved the Clay Target shooting and axe throwing as well. The place is breathtaking. Had the chance to meet one of the founders during the trip and he shared they created this brainchild during Covid. The equipment is custom made in concert with a World Champion and the one-of-a-kind experience lives up to the promise. Their team is wonderful. This is a small business that delivers huge - A rare combination of fun, world-class adventure and hospitality. Highly recommend this and hope to be back!Written 21 May 2024

- Scenic171744577500 contributionsBest ever experience 10 out of 5 rating!!!!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.Written 31 March 2024
- Navigate306786505990 contributionsJet sprinting and off road experience.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.Written 1 March 2024
- kingkie0 contributionsAwesome PlaceThis 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.Written 25 February 2024
- Coastal328378422210 contributions10/10 would recommendThe staff are super friendly, beautiful location with lovely facilities. The group size is perfect for the activity and wasnt to busy so you got to just enjoy the experience. Uniquely kiwi with the jet boat and 4x4 vehicle being only available through these guys. Would definitely go back the boat is like nothing else!Written 5 January 2024
- Snoop3210 contributionsAwesome Experience!!!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!!!Written 4 January 2024

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 😊

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!)

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!
