JET BOAT ADVENTURE

Come face-to-face with the majestic Victoria Falls

  • US$116

Ready to feel the adrenaline coursing through you while our Adventure Jetboat captains plot a course through the Zambezi? Our 465 horsepower, specially-made Adventure Jetboat will take you up the rapids and right under the Falls into the Boiling Pot. The true power and intensity of the Falls can only be felt as you view them from below, covered in their spray. 

After leaving the Boiling Pot, it’s time for a fast-paced thrill ride, up and down the rapids as you speed through the Batoka Gorge. Because safety comes first, our Jetboat was purpose-built for the Zambezi and our captains have been specially trained. They’ll make sure you have the experience of a lifetime and then they’ll get you home safely.
