Queenstown Hydro Attack Shark Ride Adventure

This is so much fun. A shark shaped water craft, Perspex capsule and skimming the lake at 60+ kmh, diving under, jumping out of the water. All in all an adrenaline pumping 20 mins. Go big or go home!!!

Such a good experience highly recommended it don’t eat or drink before, drivers are very competent and amazing a must do when in Queenstown

I had a fantastic time on the hydro attack yesterday second time ive done it i absolutely loved it will definitely do it again and again 😀

Great fun Very different experience Be careful and book away ahead as booked out for weeks/,month

It was a good for one time experience, not that thrilling or exciting as it look. I had my own GoPro but staff didn't allowed me to use though they were also using GoPro, and they didn't mentioned the fees for video until they transferred to my phone that was a disappointment from staff for not being open or honest.

Great experience , must recommend- great staff and people - great place to visit . Thank you Ground staff

Great Fun. Compartment a bit awkward to enter /exitramped if 6ft+/long long=legged but once in fine. Pay attention to the height limit on the website because if you're too tall you won't fit. Be prepared for the advertised bumpy submersing, porpoising ride.

We did the Hydro Attack in Queenstown and overall it was a unique and high-energy experience. The speed, sharp turns and underwater dive moments look impressive, and the crew handle the boat with confidence, which makes the ride feel safe and well controlled. One thing worth noting is that you’re not allowed to use your own GoPro. All footage is recorded using their onboard cameras instead. After the ride, you’re shown the video, and if you’d like to keep it, there is an additional NZD 30 charge. This only became clear after the ride. Interestingly, when watching the video afterwards, the experience actually looks more exciting than it felt in the moment. The footage is enjoyable to watch, but the real-life ride didn’t quite feel as dramatic as it appears on camera. Overall, it’s still a memorable and fast-paced activity, particularly for those who haven’t done a jet-boat-style experience before.

It was so fun! It’s better to go on cooler days and when the water is calmer so that you can really experience the twists and turns of the adventure. I’d highly recommend it!

This was a lot of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the roller coaster like experience on and below the water. It’s not for the faint hearted or for people who suffer from claustrophobia. The cockpit is quite cramped and as a 6-foot-tall person not the easiest to get into. The tour operator’s website states 6’ 4” is the maximum height for passengers. However, on checking the manufactures website, it stated 6’ 4” for the pilot and 6’ 2” for the passenger. Be aware of these height limitations when booking. It is impressive to travel side-on through the water and the tail stand is great. Thoroughly recommend this tour.
