Oxbow Adventure Co
In the Gibbston Valley, surrounded by mountains, bluffs, wineries and breweries, you will find the Thrill Seekers’ paradise that is Oxbow Adventure Co.
Founded on a strong belief of fun, adventure, and camaraderie, our one-of-a-kind adventures give Adrenaline Junkies from all walks of life an incredibly unique and unforgettable experience.
Located just 20 minutes from Queenstown Airport, Oxbow offers a purpose-built Jet Sprint Boat racetrack, an Off-Roader course, and a Clay Target Shooting range. With one of our core values ‘one step ahead’ at the forefront of everything we do, our unique experiences are world-firsts.
Starting with our Jet Sprint Boats, these are the only 4 seaters across the globe. Based on racing jet sprint boats, these machines have been adapted to carry 3 passengers. With hairpin turns and up to 4 Gs of G-Force, experience the ride of a lifetime whilst you rip around our custom-built racetrack at 100kph!
Next up is our Ultimate Off-Roader! Designed by New Zealand 4x4 Trial champion Dan Cowper, these vehicles took two years to build and refine. Using the natural features of the rocky Nevis Bluff to create our all-terrain course, you will not believe where these trucks can go. With four-wheel drive, four-wheel steer and 14 inches of travel in the shocks, this really is ULTIMATE Off-Roading.
To finish off a perfect trio of adventure experiences, the Oxbow Gun Club was built for Clay Target Shooting. Owners Darb, Tim and Lloyd were keen to make an inclusive activity which could cater for beginners through to the experienced. Set up to run six shooters at a time and with eight different flurry styles, you can enjoy some healthy competition against mates, family members or even work colleagues.
