Feel the wind in your face as you race your friends and family around our cusom-built track in a blokart. Fun, safe, accessible, sustainable, and much easier than riding a bike, our team of experienced instructors will have you successfully piloting your kart in a matter of minutes. Blokarting can be as thrilling as you want it to be with a range of gear designed to suit every need from the most timid to the most adventurous. Perfect for riders from 7 to 87+. Located just 15 minutes from either the port of Lyttelton or the CBD our site has a lovely backdrop of farmland and the Port Hills. We are proud of the accessibility of the karts, and can work with people with physical or other restrictions to help them successfully operate a kart. Blokart landsailing was invented in New Zealand and Velocity Karts is the only custom-built track in Australasia.

What To Expect
Our purpose built landsailing track is located approximately 15 minutes from the Christchurch CBD and the port of Lyttelton. You'll receive an informative ride from business owner and lifelong Christchurch resident Ian. Upon arrival you'll be fitted with helmets and gloves, shown a short instructional video and then briefed on the circuit we are using for the day. We size the sail to suit the wind conditions, your size and level of confidence, so that each individual can have just the right amount of challenge. You'll enjoy about 45 mins of blokart landsailing before you'll be brought back in. Get ready for a lot of buzz as you compare who was the fastest and share the excitement of your unique Kiwi experience. Maybe you'd like to try our Electric Drift Trikes (as a seperate activity) before your return van ride to your pickup point. Your tour will take approximately 2 hours inclusive of travel time, (allow about 30 minutes extra if trying the Drift trikes).

Living the Dream with Velocity Karts

5.00I have been wanting to do this activity for 10 years and today I experienced that dream and it was way way better than I ever imagined. Having originally booked this sensational activity when we were going on a cruise from Sydney to NZ and then having the cruise cancelled - I wanted to do this so much we booked a flight to Christchurch so that I could fulfill my dream. Ian the owner was so accomodating and adaptable and was really focused on his customers complete satisfaction. The communication when booking was excellent and the tuition was relaxed and safety orientated. We highly recommend this activity - it really is fun and excellent value for money for the whole family. Thanks Velocity Karts for such great service and memories.
A must do.

5.00This is a fun and novel experience. It is easy to learn the basics which allows you to go as fast (or slow) as you want and then you spend the time improving your skill and having a blast. The crew are friendly and helpful. While it is clearly a small business, they are professional and I felt very safe.
As good as go karting

5.00initially I thought the group text said go karting instead of blokarting so was initally a bit disapointed to show up and see blo karts, but once I got onto the track I was delightfully suprised to find that it was as fun a go karting with there being more skill and learning to be had than go karts.
Great fun for whole family

5.00We tried both drift kart and blow kart. The drift cart was fun and it took some time to get the hang of it . We thoroughly enjoyed it. Ian’s staff helped us a lot. They are very friendly and helpful. Next we tried the blokart which was very unique. Just wind based. We got good training from the staff on how to use it. After a few minutes, we got the hang of it and the wind picked up and it was really fun. Both our kids loved it. It was very unique too. Ian and his staff were very helpful and made it a fun experience. I would definitely recommend trying both

5.00We drove in straight from Lake Tekapo and were running late - Ian was super nice and accommodated us being late even on New Year’s Eve. Lily and Ian were super friendly and very detailed on how to use the Blokarts. Highly recommend them!
Excellent

5.00Ian, Lili, and Finn- I had to tell you we had the best experience as a family. We were driving from the Mount Cook area running late probably by almost an hour. Our original appointment was at 5 PM, but Ian was kind enough to accommodate us at six on New Year’s Eve. Can’t thank him and his staff enough for being so pleasant and kind And providing us with the absolute best family time. If you are ever in Christchurch to take the time to visit them, what a fun activity to do to start our weekend here in Christchurch.
