Christchurch Land Sailing Adventure Velocity Karts
Overview
Feel the wind in your face as you race your friends and family around our cusom-built track in a blokart. Fun, safe, accessible, sustainable, and much easier than riding a bike, our team of experienced instructors will have you successfully piloting your kart in a matter of minutes. Blokarting can be as thrilling as you want it to be with a range of gear designed to suit every need from the most timid to the most adventurous. Perfect for riders from 7 to 87+. Located just 15 minutes from either the port of Lyttelton or the CBD our site has a lovely backdrop of farmland and the Port Hills. We are proud of the accessibility of the karts, and can work with people with physical or other restrictions to help them successfully operate a kart. Blokart landsailing was invented in New Zealand and Velocity Karts is the only custom-built track in Australasia.

What To Expect
Our purpose built landsailing track is located approximately 15 minutes from the Christchurch CBD and the port of Lyttelton. You'll receive an informative ride from business owner and lifelong Christchurch resident Ian. Upon arrival you'll be fitted with helmets and gloves, shown a short instructional video and then briefed on the circuit we are using for the day. We size the sail to suit the wind conditions, your size and level of confidence, so that each individual can have just the right amount of challenge. You'll enjoy about 45 mins of blokart landsailing before you'll be brought back in. Get ready for a lot of buzz as you compare who was the fastest and share the excitement of your unique Kiwi experience. Maybe you'd like to try our Electric Drift Trikes (as a seperate activity) before your return van ride to your pickup point. Your tour will take approximately 2 hours inclusive of travel time, (allow about 30 minutes extra if trying the Drift trikes). Please note we have a 4 person minimum group size for pickup and drop-off but will combine bookings to meet this where possible.
