What you can expect

Hydro Attack provides the ultimate wild ride where "shark" meets the machine. Hydro Attack is the world's first tour operator of this unique semi-submersible watercraft. Shaped like a shark you will sit in the cockpit as your skilled driver takes you on a wild ride as the "shark" reaches speeds of 80kmph with its 260hp supercharged engine. Dive as deep as 2 metres into the waters of Lake Wakatipu before flying out as high as 6 metres out of the water, add to that a few doughnuts, degree rolls and you're in for one wild roller-coaster ride. You'll be sure to have an adventure you'll never forget. Trips can be tailored to suit your level of adventure from mild to wild!
