    Yesterday me and my family went on the jet and had the time of our lives. The weather was cold and the water was choppy but it the made the experience even more fun. I would Highly recommend taking your family down to make fun memories.

    Awesome trip! From the bus ride from Queenstown to Glenorchy which was spectacular and interesting facts shared by our driver James. To the speed boat up the Dart River complete with spins. And the best part being in nature, walking through ancient forest and onto our FunYals to explore canyon then down the river easily paddling with the current. We had snow tge day we went but the team ensured we were warm with extra fleeces, soup and tea as well at the base camp. Awesome work Andreas, JJ and Nina. Thanks for a great day. Steph and Amy

    This activity took me by surprise—I thought it’d be fun to sign up for but had no idea how awesome it would be. There’s nothing quite like seeing a bit of New Zealand this way—such a rush and an exhilarating way to see the scenery. Our guide, Pedro, was kind, informative and made sure we felt safe. I highly recommend this experience!

    Fantastic! So glad we chose this rather than the standard jetboating. Great people who looked after us but what really made it were the amazing machines. The off-roading was great fun and the noise of the V8 hard to beat. But the jet boat scrambled my brain initially, due to both the acceleration and the cornering g forces.
    Both were short duration compared to Shot over etc but much much higher adrenalin and fun. Recommended most highly!

    Was the highlight of our short time in Queenstown.
    Our hr jet boat ride skipping across the local nz pristinely clear waterways was the epitome of fun . Our driver Tim was excellent at his craft and provide commentary when we paused throughout the high speed ride. Queenstown is spoilt for choice with things to do but jet boating is an absolute must, Our speeds reached around the 85km mark and we all had a ball.

    CharlieTheTraveler has a great price for the amount of amenities included for the New Zealand trip. I was impressed with the meals that were provided as they were authentic and delicious. It is evident the company knew the country well. I felt truly immersed. The ice grottoes in Mount Cook National Park was breathtaking! It was such a great, active tour. The ice looked impeccable and untouched!

    The team at oxbow were great to deal with from start to finish. We were only supposed to have two of our party take the jet sprint boat but by the end 8 of us had been. Everyone loved it. What a great facility to hang out in while you wait too. Cheers team!

    Absolutely epic end of year Christmas do. The team at Oxbow are all fantastic - talented, professional, friendly and fun! Thank you for giving us such a great time- everyone shot clays and had a blast on the boat and vehicle - definitely worth the money. Can’t recommend you highly enough and made us super proud to support local.

    What a great place , if your looking for a experience to do with your teenage kids this is it . Do the triple thrill seeker . It's great value for money and you won't leave disappointed . The jet sprint boat is not like doing the jet boat on a river it's next level !! The all wheel drive car is very smooth and great for all ages
