H2O Xtream is currently closed for a major upgrade and is expected to reopen to the public in March 2025. In the meantime, operations are taking place at Fulton Pool, located at 24 Lane St, Wallaceville.

H2O Xtream is Upper Hutt’s premier aquatic facility, designed to provide an unparalleled water-based experience for all ages. Opened in 1995, this community hub combines state-of-the-art features with a focus on fun, fitness, and family-friendly entertainment. It attracts thousands of visitors annually and has earned a reputation as one of the region’s top recreational attractions.

Upper Hutt Pool

With its diverse offerings, it’s no wonder H2O Xtream is a favourite destination for locals and visitors alike. The facility boasts a wave pool, rapid river, hydroslides, and a lane pool, all designed to cater to swimmers of every age and skill level.

Wave Pool and Rapid River Adventures

The wave pool is a showstopper, bringing the thrill of the ocean indoors. Starting at a shallow depth and plunging to 1.8 metres, it’s the perfect spot to grab a float, ride the waves, or challenge yourself against the surf. The wave machine operates on a 20-minute cycle, giving families plenty of time to catch their breath before diving back into the action.

When it’s time for a change of pace, the rapid river is the ideal retreat. Drift lazily along the current or enjoy the soothing flow—a delightful way to unwind after conquering the waves. Both features are available from 2 PM on weekdays and from 11 AM on weekends.

Thrilling Slides at H2O Xtream

For adrenaline junkies, the Xtream slides are an unmissable attraction. With an Xtream slide pass, you gain unlimited access to three jaw-dropping slides:

The Speed Slide: An 8-metre vertical drop guarantees a heart-pounding rush.

Ice Blue: Twist, turn, and spin through a frosty maze of excitement.

Darkness Falls: Plunge into 66 metres of pitch-black mystery with steep drops and sharp turns.

Do you dare to face the ultimate challenge? The slides are operational from 2 PM on weekdays and from 11 AM during weekends and school holidays.

Lane Pool for Fitness and Fun

The 25-metre lane pool is perfect for fitness enthusiasts or anyone wanting to improve their swimming skills. Clearly marked lanes for slow, medium, and fast swimmers ensure everyone has a comfortable experience.

This pool also hosts various activities, including hydrorobics, flippaball, and inflatable sessions, making it a versatile space for both exercise and play.
