Reaching speeds of 80 kph on the water and 40 kph diving under the water, experience a one-on-one 15 minute ride with one of the friendly and experienced pilots in a semi-submersible shark.

You’re inside what feels like a cross between a fighter jet and a torpedo. It’s skimming across the top of the lake at 80kph then it dives under the water, surrounding you in serene liquid blue. Next, your pilot points the shark at the sky and it blasts back out again, straight up into the air before shattering the lake into a million crystal shards on a screaming re-entry.

Whatever else you’ve done in the name of extreme excitement, nothing has prepared you for a ride in the shark.

Hydro Attack is the world’s first commercial operator of these unique semi-submersible machines so while you’re in Queenstown don’t miss your chance to have a go.
