Overview
Oxbow Adventure Co runs a jet sprint boat ride in Gibbston Valley, about 20 minutes from Queenstown Airport along State Highway 6. The ride itself lasts 10 minutes, and the whole visit starts and finishes at the meeting point on Gibbston Highway, just past Nevis Bluff. You get there in your own vehicle or a transfer you arrange yourself, since private transportation is not included.
On arrival you receive a safety briefing and gear up with a spray jacket, hairnet and sunglasses, all provided by the operator. Then you climb into the jet sprint boat for the ride at the Gibbston Valley site.
It suits travellers after a short ride rather than a half-day outing. The minimum height is 1.2 metres, up to 18 travellers take part per session, and the site is wheelchair and pushchair accessible. It is not recommended for people with back problems or who are pregnant.
