Jet Boat Adventure

Zambezi

Activity Description

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.

Fantastic! One of the best this we did whilst at the falls. - Rebecca


We loved the jet boat adventure excursion. We came to the falls in July of 2025 and they were gushing! We used water shoes (not required). You are provided a safe place to keep your valuables (phone, purse, etc.) and a life jacket. Once you ascend down to the jet boat - you get in and the adventure begins. You go into the falls and the mist - the water - ahhhh, you can't see! Then the fun begins when you catch the waves. It lasted maybe 20-30 minutes, but it was enough. Then you ascend back up to the top where you are greeted with a beverage of your choice (water, coke, etc.). - Cassie


Excellent trip! The ride truely took our breath away. Seeing the falls from below was amazing. Staff were helpful and informative. - Karen


Climb to river and back challenging but well worth the effort. Would recommend to anyone. Kirsty - Kirsty


Get close to the falls in style. Me and the kids loved this despite the deliberate soaking we all got. A real adrenaline experience as the boat battles the strong current of the boiling pot. Note that you need to be fit to tackle the near-vertical metal ladder and uneven rocks down into the gorge. I held the rungs firmly with my right hand and picked up 8 nasty bites which are only now fading 2-weeks later, but that's me. - james
