Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were unsure of what to expect but ...Start to finish just exceeded expectations, the staff from the moment you arrive to departure are at the top of there game . Service is delivered very professionally and most importantly a great sense of fun , we enjoyed the clay shooting so much we had a rematch 😂, only issue we had was not having the time to go back again to ride in the 4x4 . Great job team

The extreme 4 wheel drive / off roading was awesome.. For a day that started out not as we'd planned,due to less than ideal weather conditions, the team at Oxbow Adventures really put a smile on our faces...
Really well organized, professional and an exhilarating ride.. was 10 / 10 for us..
Thanks for a great start to our queenstown adventure...

Hands down best thing I’ve done .

What a ride …. So good , got the adrenaline going . I’m a scaredy-cat and I absolutely loved it .
As for my husband the smile never left his face .

Your in safe hands as the driver is so incredibly skilled .
All the staff were incredibly friendly, informative and went through thorough safety features to ensure your safety so you then enjoy the entire ride.
They are also incredibly passionate about what they do and this shines through.

We will definitely be back and hand on heart 100% recommend 😊

We visited this business with a view to experiencing a jet sprint ride. The staff were super friendly and helpful and provided a good safety briefing and clear advice on how to avoid any injuries. The ride itself was very exciting and got the heart pumping. My only disappointment was that the ride was over very quickly and was perhaps not quite value for money. With the issues around overseas tourists and covid, it may have been a good idea to provide kiwi travellers with either a slightly reduced rate or a little longer in the boat.

Wow, adrenaline through the roof. To watch jet sprint boats growing up and and just wonder what it would be like, then....hop in one. Crazy g’s!
Then on to the monster 4 wheel drive machine, turning and climbing beyond what physics seems possible. Laughing maniacally at the insanity of it all, it’s hard to explain the rush which lingers for hours afterwards.
And to top it off everyone there were really cool, super friendly and pros.
What are you waiting for, get there now!

Stopped into Oxbow as had seen it while driving past and managed to do some clay pigeon shooting without a booking. Great safety briefing with the right amount of seriousness and humour in the purpose-built new building. Off in the Polaris to the shooting range with Bush our instructor and he was brilliant. Fantastic setup at the range, and great instruction - we’d been clay pigeon shooting before but never had such informative guidance. Had an awesome hour of shooting with a lot of success. Guns were perfect size and weight for the three women in the group too. Thanks very much Oxbow and Bush for a really fun time. Professional, well run and fun! Well worth a visit, we will be back to try the buggies and jet boat 😊

Best adventure day out ever! Adrenaline, fun and skill with a knowledgeable, supportive and passionate team. Amazing facility, each activity so different from the other it’s impossible to choose which one we loved best. Getting covered in mud, driving down vertical hills & spinning on the donut pad in the 4WD experience, shooting clays with a shotgun and pulling ‘G’s in the jet boat - 2 hours of non stop fun, laughter and excitement. The team made you feel 100% safe and were so encouraging, engaging and enthusiastic we didn’t want it to end. Cannot recommend the Oxbow Ultimate Adventure package highly enough. You’ve GOT to do it!!!!

We did the jet sprint boat ride along with the buggies and both these rides were just awesome. We are adrenalin junkies from way back and this did not disappoint. I am in awe of the drivers and their skill with these machines. I still can't fathom how we didn't end up rolling over in the buggies when I'm sure we were over that tipping point on several occasions. Great value for money, I can't recommend this enough - my only advice - don't go on a full stomach.

Amazing place and amazing crew. Visited here as part of a trip with a key supplier, so just under 30 in our group. Did all the activities. Extremely well run place, very safe and knowledgeable team that work there and they made the day really enjoyable.
We had catering there as well which was Devine
If you’re a petrol head or thrill junkie then you’ll love this, if you’re not I reckon you’ll still love it as there is things for everyone including the spectators how can sit back in the bean bags and enjoy the views

Thanks Oxbow team for an enjoyable time and great activities
