Incredible, unique experience

Head out by boat onto the water before jumping into this incredible semi-submersible shark. Spend a thrilling 15 minutes speeding above and below the water and experience leaps, dives, side rolls and tight g-force turns as expert drivers give you an experience you'll never forget. Great for groups.

What's Included?

12 minute thrill ride in the shark
Experienced driver
Life jackets and ear muffs
Group boat ride to launch site
Photo opportunities

Scream your lungs out inside the shark machine with your friends cheering you on from the boat. Like a stunt plane on the water, sit back in the cockpit and get ready to feel the g-forces on this adrenalin-inducing adventure.

Looking through the F-16 fighter grade glass of the semi-submersible shark you will see the sky disappear as your pilot descends into a long dive under the water only to then breach the surface and launch the entire 6 metres of the shark in the air. There will be 90 degree rolls, tight doughnut turns and reach top speeds of 80 kph on water and 40 kph while diving underwater.

Please note a minimum of six people are required for this experience to proceed.
