-- About this video --

Today we are heading to the Oxbow Adventure Co in Wanaka (soon moving to Queenstown) to experience some serious adventure activities in Wanaka. We are going to be going in a jet sprint boat which can go 0 to 100km/h in under 2.5 seconds. Plus, we’ll be going in a custom-built 4x4 truck that can do just about anything! Oh yeah, there’s clay bird shooting and knife throwing too... So much to do here in Wanaka! Let’s get some adrenaline in Wanaka!

We arrive at Oxbow Adventure Co in Wanaka where we see the man shed full of insane vehicles like a jet sprint boat, 4x4 off roading machines like nothing we have seen, a helicopter and several crates of beer. It’s a real “man shed”. We’ve decided to tackle one of the adventure vehicles each, Laura is first in a 4x4 off roading vehicles called The Beast. 

After an insane drive of gullies, creeks, boulders and more, it’s now Robin’s turn to experience the custom-made jet sprint boat – the only one of its kind used for commercial purposes. Robin experience’s some serious G force on this thing as it slaloms around a jetsprint track in the fastest jet boat in New Zealand. We’ve done jet boating in New Zealand before but not like this!

To end our experience with Oxbow Wanaka, (soon to be moving to Queenstown so it will be Oxbow Queenstown), we do some clay bird shooting in Wanaka as well as some knife throwing. 

So what do you think of Oxbow in Wanaka / Oxbow Adventure Co Queenstown? Is it something you would add to your New Zealand bucket list?
