Adrenaline-pumping ride in a semi-submersible shark watercraft
We are the world's first tour operator of the amazing Seabreacher X watercraft. Operating from our berth in central Queenstown we'll take you on an adrenaline packed tour of stunning Lake Wakatipu. Sit back in our state of the art cockpit and get ready to feel the G-Force as our expert drivers give you an experience you'll not forget. Looking through the F-16 fighter grade glass you will see the sky disappear as your drivers decends into a dive only to then breach the surface and launch the entire 18ft of the vessel in the air. We can roll on a 90' angle, do doughnuts (without getting a ticket) and so much more. Reach top speeds of 80 kph on water and 40 kph underwater, throw in a low center of gravity and this ride will definitely get your heart pumping. So there is only one question left.... How wild or mild do you want to go?

The ride was good fun, the staff very friendly and helpful and we were made to feel very safe. I was in Queenstown 5 years ago and didn’t go on the hydroshark and so was the only thing I wanted to do this time. Definitely recommend booking in advance so you don’t miss out and would 100% recommend this experience.

Awesome experience, great communication and friendly staff. Was a bit choppy on the water but they know where to go and sort it out so you can enjoy your experience. Videos are good but I don't like watching my goofy smile so did not buy it 🤣 Would love to do it again one day 👌

My husband and I did the Hydro Attack 3 years ago and loved it. So we were back for another go and brought a friend with us. Getting in the shark is a bit tight but once you're in it's fine. It's a bit noisy and bumpy on the water if it's windy but hey the fun is when the shark dives and then leaps out of the water! We had total faith in our driver and he made sure I was okay. I just said 'go for it!' A fun and unique experience. Highly recommend it.

What an experience! So much fun. Great staff and not to be missed. The blue of the lake was amazing before you jumped up out of the water. Something a bit different and would love to do again!
