  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!!

• It is Epic

  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.

• Wasn't sure if I was laughing or crying. That was EPIC!

  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!

  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!

• Off-roading, was unreal, was best craic ever and 4 wheel steer was insane so cool. Jet boat was crazy fast and unreal.

  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.
