Jet Sprint Boating & Clay Target Shooting in Queenstown
13th birthday fun!
We did the Highlands Go Karting and Oxbow shooting and jet boating package for our twin boys 13th birthday. It was the BEST day from start to finish and such an amazing day out for them and their friends. Highly recommend two rides of the go kart as 10 minutes flies by. Then a quick pit stop before the shooting - which all the 13 year olds loved before onto the best part the jet boating. The weather was amazing and the staff were friendly, professional and so good with the lads! Special mention must go to Laura (behind the desk) who made booking and arranging the day a dream. We will most definitely be coming back with more family and friends. Thank you Oxbow!!
