Frequently Asked Questions
Trips are 15 minutes on the water. Please allow 25 minutes for the whole individual shark experience and 1 hour and 15 minutes for the boat trip and shark ride option. Please check-in at thebooking kiosk 10 minutes before your departure time.
It is recommended you wear comfortable loose-fitting clothes and dress in layers as it can get warm in the cockpit. You also may need to remove your footwear as per the driver’s request.
As this is 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 lifejacket we provide.
Due to the cosy confines of the cockpit, all passengers need to be able to get in and out quickly and safely in the unlikely event of an emergency. Due to this, there is a height restriction of 192cm (6ft 3’) and a weight restriction of 110kg (242lbs or 17 stone) in place. If you’re over the height or weight restriction, please contact The Operator directly.
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 please call The Operator 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 at the time of booking so The Operator can assess and advise your suitability to travel. Unfortunately, if you are pregnant or have a serious heart condition it is not recommended 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 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.

Awesome fun. Took the kids and it was their highlight of the trip

Our son had a great time. The only thing making it a 4 is that it was expensive and advertised as a 15 minute experience but was only 7 minutes in the water.
