The tour starts with a safety briefing—an essential step that prepares you for the adrenaline-filled activities ahead. Once geared up, you’ll hop into the world’s only 4-seater Jet Sprint Boat, driven by a professional driver. The boat’s power is impressive—rocketing from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, which guarantees a rush unlike any other boat ride. You’ll be darting through a purpose-built course around islands, feeling the wind and spray as you race through the water at exhilarating speeds.
The Jet Sprint Boat experience is designed to be accessible for groups of four, making it perfect for families, friends, or small groups who want to share the excitement. The boat ride offers plenty of opportunities for the driver to showcase sharp turns and quick accelerations, but it’s also about feeling the thrill of control and speed. As one reviewer put it, “The boat was a blast, and the driver made it feel safe but really exciting.”
Next, your adrenaline will shift gears as you switch to Ultimate Off-Roader — a specially designed 4WD vehicle with four-wheel steering capabilities. This isn’t your average off-road vehicle; it’s built for daring cliff drops, rock climbing, and drifting across rugged terrain. Expect to experience landscapes that are as breathtaking as they are challenging, with a vehicle engineered to handle steep inclines and sharp turns. The off-road segment is a chance to get dusty and exhilarated simultaneously, flinging you into Queenstown’s rugged beauty from a perspective that most visitors miss.
The off-roading segment also emphasizes authentic adventure, with the vehicle capable of going places most other vehicles cannot. It’s an activity that combines fun with a sense of exploration, perfect for the curious and those eager to test their nerve. Expect to be thrilled by the cliff drops and the rock climbing sections, which many find both intimidating and utterly satisfying.
Finally, the tour wraps up at the Oxbow Gun Club, where you’ll test your aim with Clay Target Shooting. The facility is specially designed for this activity, with eight automatic clay throwers to keep the action lively. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, professional guides are on hand to offer tips and encouragement. This segment adds a competitive edge and a chance to enjoy some light-hearted fun and friendly rivalry with your companions.
