One of the best experiences ever
Sometimes these experiences are not as good as they are hyped up to be but this experience was absolutely amazing!!! It deserves all the hype it can get . From a truly unique off road trip with a driver that has some special skills to a world class jet sprint. Can’t rate this highly enough. Thanks team we were left buzzing all the way home .

Great experience! Highly recommend.
This is long past due. Last year I went to Oxbow adventures and bloody loved it. I did all three activities and would highly recommend doing all three as there very different in their own right. Special highlight was shooting with the mrs. We've both never shot before and with our expert instructor 'Skinny', we both shot nearly all of our targets. Special shoutout to skinny, if you listen to he's instructions, you'll not only have a great time but you'll hit all your targets. Otherwise thanks Gerry and Nick for both the speed boat ride and the off roading experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this awesome review, we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. It’s great to hear you got stuck into all three activities, they really do each bring something different to the table, and doing the full combo is the best way to experience it all! We’re especially glad you and your partner had such a great time on the clay shooting. Skinny will be stoked to hear the shoutout, he’s a legend at what he does, and you’re absolutely right… listen carefully and those targets don’t stand a chance! And we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to Geri and Nick as well, sounds like they delivered an epic time on both the jet boat and off-roader! Thanks again for coming out to see us, we’d love to have you back for round two anytime

Had a great time at Oxbow.. v8 jet boat and off roader
Great experience from start to finish. Every member of staff we spoke to was friendly and helpful. The instructions and coaching for the clay pigeon shooting was brilliant. Great variation of clay traps that simulate different animals and require different techniques. The jet boats and the off roaders are both incredible machines that shouldn't be missed on a trip to Queenstown. I recommend doing all three activities.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear you had a great experience from start to finish with us at Oxbow. It’s awesome to know our team made such a positive impression. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the clay target shooting and appreciated the variation of traps. Our team loves helping guests fine-tune their technique and get the most out of every round. And you’re right, the jet boats and off-roaders are pretty special machines! There’s nothing quite like them! We’d love to welcome you back for another action-packed day anytime. Cheers, The Oxbow Adventure Co. Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Queenstown.
How much does Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting cost?
+
Prices start at $238 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Queenstown usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Queenstown is not rushed.
Is Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Queenstown, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Queenstown can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Queenstown and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Queenstown within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Queenstown?
+
On Outty we rank every Queenstown experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Milford Sound Premium Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour from Queenstown. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Queenstown?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Queenstown?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting?
+
Included: We provide outerwear, hairnet/helmet, sunglasses, vest, ear muffs as well as Safety Briefi. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting?
+
We are located 20 minutes from Queenstown Airport - Head out of Queenstown on State Highway 6 towards Gibbston Valley. We are located on the right hand side, just past Nevis Bluff. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Jet Sprint Boating, Ultimate Off-Roading & Clay Target Shooting offered in?
+
