Hydro Attack Semi Submersible Shark ride by me, Queenstown, New Zealand

Reaching speeds of 80 kph on the water and 40 kph diving under the water, a one-on-one trip in Hydro Attack Queenstown’s shark is a unique adrenaline ride.

It skims across the top of the lake at 80kph then it dives under the water, surrounding you in serene liquid blue.

The 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 can 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.
