Fantastic guide (Gift). Even though there were just 2 of us, we were treated like royalty. The trip was informative and exhilarating. You go right up to the bottom of the falls. The distance traveled was less than I expected but still totally rewarding. Be prepared for jolts as you bump down the rapids and be for jelly legs from the steep descent and ascent. This was the highlight of our Vic falls stay

Fantastic experience and excellent staff.
This was a once in a life time experience. There was an initial health issue but they listened and accommodated well. An incredible view and was safe despite the thrill of the rapids. Thank you to Brian, Agrippa, Gift and Justine.

Scary and not safe- waiting for someone to die
Dangerous. The safety briefing was given after the first rapids
The walk down is dangerous
I had to get off half way through
As my back got damaged on the rapids as they did not explain how to sit to absorb pressure
They also take u up to the mouth of melting pot
All in all not safe.
You then have to scale back up injured as no other way out
Would not recommend at all

Don’t miss Victoria Falls from below
Experiencing Victoria Falls from below should not be missed! The jet boat beats the Helicopter ride and the Zimbabwe walking path hands down. Our guides, Captain Gift and Justin, provided an exhilarating and safe experience that we really appreciated. Be forewarned that the climb down to the jet boat launch is steep and challenging for older or less individuals…there will be soreness afterwards. Gift and Justin personally assisted my wife on the way back up . She says she couldn’t have done it without them. They are the best! Don’t let this stop you, this was one of our top experiences in Zimbabwe rivaling Devil’s Pool.

Victoria Falls Jet Boats
Excellent experience. After doing the walk, and the helicopter we did the jet boat. You go under the falls for an unforgettable experience. Be aware that there is 350+ steps there and back which is very steep.

Fun yes, a bit expensive… too.
The activity lasted exactly two hours from the time they picked us up from our lodge until they brought us back (Our lodge was about 10 minutes by car from the center).
The guides and the whole team put in effort, they are punctual and make the activity pleasant and entertaining.
They give you a kind of "wetsuit" shirt that you can wear over your swimsuit, they give you a life jacket and a helmet. I brought clothes to change into so I wouldn't be soaked on the way to the lodge. They have a changing room. Wear good shoes to be able to go up and down, the path is very steep and part of the adventure.
Once on the boat they take photos and film you, all for 40 USD, material that I hope we will receive later via email since they still need to edit them, but they are already paid for in advance.
It is very fun, of course you get very wet. The entire activity including the photos and park entrance cost us 167 USD per person, since you pay an additional 3% for paying with a card.
A somewhat high treat considering that we must have been in the water for a maximum of 45” of which between photos and explanations we did three short real runs and two super showers under the waterfalls, which we did not see well because due to the wind direction the mist from the force of the water was dense.
I am not uploading photos because as I said I hope and trust that they are going to send them to us 🤞
I would have liked to do at least four boat runs, which is what is truly fun, and fewer explanations and photo sessions.

Poor service
There was no experience.
I checked availability, booked and paid for the trip only to get an e-mail 30 min later to say they are not running the jet boat as the water level is to high. This was the day before the booked ride.
I'm now trying to get a refund but nothing yet 3 days later.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry that we were unable to operate your Jet Boat experience due to high water levels on the river. While we understand this was disappointing, safety conditions must always determine whether the activity can proceed.
We also regret any concern caused by the timing of your refund. Once a refund has been authorised, the timeframe for funds to appear in an account can vary depending on the booking platform and financial institution involved.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We know this was not the experience you had planned for, and we appreciate your patience and understanding regarding the safety-related cancellation.

No money back!!!
The booked jetboat tour was not conducted due to the high water level. However, this risk or the current conditions were not visible on the website. We were promised a refund, but despite multiple reminders and after several weeks, neither the money was refunded nor were messages responded to.
I cannot recommend this provider. There apparently exists the risk that in the case of a non-fulfilled service, one does not get their money back.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologise for the frustration and disappointment caused by this situation. Guest satisfaction is extremely important to us, and this is not the level of service we aim to provide. As water levels on the Zambezi can change rapidly, activities may occasionally need to be suspended for safety reasons. However, we understand your concerns regarding the communication and refund process. Please contact us directly at online@shearwatervf.com with your booking details so that we can investigate this matter and work towards a resolution as quickly as possible.

Absolutely amazing Jet Boat Experience
This was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. From the moment we were picked up, the incredible staff kept us laughing the entire time and made us feel so welcome. The hike down the gorge was an experience on its own, with breathtaking views at every turn. The jet boat was exhilarating, and the views and spray near the falls were simply unbelievable. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Victoria Falls you won’t regret it. Thank you, Shearwater, for an unforgettable experience!

Sheer boating pleasure
A truly exhilarating experience- not only bouncing off the rapids but also parking underneath the spray of the waterfall and getting happily drenched.
The scenic hike down into the gorge added some effort before the above payoff.... and we also got to walk down via the curved bridge walkway as an unexpected bonus.
Visiting this area is very expensive - but this particular outing was worth every dollar
I highly recommend this if you are fairly fit to climb the steep gorge down and up
