The experience

Hydro Attack Queenstown delivers one of the most adrenaline-packed adventures on Lake Wakatipu. As the world’s first commercial operator of semi-submersible shark rides, Hydro Attack Queenstown has redefined what it means to experience a thrill on water.

Prepare for the ride of a lifetime as your shark-shaped vessel launches across the lake at speeds of up to 80kph. This custom-built watercraft isn’t just fast — it’s capable of diving beneath the surface and soaring back into the air, creating heart-pounding moments you won’t forget.

Your Hydro Attack Queenstown pilot expertly maneuvers the semi-submersible shark, performing sharp turns, underwater dives, and thrilling jumps that’ll have your pulse racing. Once submerged, you’ll glide gracefully under Lake Wakatipu’s clear alpine waters, offering a rare underwater perspective of this stunning New Zealand lake.

As the vessel rockets out of the water, witness a spray of sunlight-kissed droplets and take in panoramic views of Queenstown’s iconic mountains and town skyline. It’s an extreme adventure and sightseeing tour rolled into one unforgettable experience.
