Yes, our minimum age is 6 years old and a parent or guardian must check in with the child to sign

the consent form if they are under 18. Please remember Hydro Attack is a one-on-one trip so it’s

only suitable for kids who are confident away from their parents.

We’ll start your trip by cruising out of Queenstown Bay. Once we’re past the marker your driver will give you a run down of which operating area you’ll be heading for based on the current lake conditions.

Currently we only offer passenger rides. Due to the boat availability and the technicality of the machine’s controls we don’t offer a self -drive option. If you’re interested in purchasing a Seabreacher X from us we do offer Seabreacher training once you have put down a deposit. Conditions apply.

Our inflatable aircraft seal and thick acrylic canopy keeps the cockpit protected from the water and the weather. As we are a water-based activity there is the potential at times to get a small bit of spray or damp feet but nothing to worry about. Wet weather gear isn’t required to be worn in the craft, only the streamlined life jacket we provide.

Due to the cosy confines of the cockpit we need to make sure that all our passengers can get in and out of the cockpit quickly and safely in the unlikely event of an emergency. Due to this there is a height restriction of 191cm (6ft 3’) and weight restriction of 100kg (220lbs or 15.75 stone) in place. If you’re over the height or weight restriction we would need you to come down to our operating berth prior to booking so one of our team can assess whether you will be comfortable in the craft. Please contact the Hydro Attack team if you are unsure whether to book or not.

Yes, Hydro Attack can be weather dependent. Hydro Attack’s operation can be affected by high swell on the lake, heavy rain or stormy conditions so we ask that you call our freephone number 0508 HYDRO ATTACK (493 7628) to do a weather check at least one hour before your trip departs. If individual shark rides are cancelled you may have the option to swap to the Boat trip and shark ride option.

If you have any specific medical condition including breaks or fractures or you suffer from back or neck problems please advise us at time of booking so we can assess and advise your suitability to travel. Unfortunately if you are pregnant or have a serious heart condition we do not recommend that you ride on Hydro attack.

In a similar way to a stunt plane the g-forces and extreme maneuvering possible during an extreme ride in the Seabreacher X can affect people who suffer from acute motion sickness. While this only affects a small number of our passengers we recommend anyone coming out on a trip who wants the full adrenaline experience to avoid eating a large meal less than two hours beforehand.

Alternatively just let your driver know you’re prone to motion sickness and they can adjust the trip accordingly.

Sorry, no loose items can be in your pockets or taken inside the shark during your trip. We provide a secure location to leave your belongings while you’re on your trip. Cameras and bags can be taken on the boat (but not the shark) on the boat trip and shark ride option.

• Eyewear (sunglasses / glasses) optional
• Loose comfortable clothing particularly loose trousers or shorts.

Meet at The Lapsley Butson Wharf on the Queenstown Lakefront.
