Swimming Under Victoria Falls Spray Adventures from Livingstone

BookNow Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your Livingstone hotel or the Victoria Falls border post if you are staying in Zimbabwe. After a scenic transfer to the launch site, you’ll receive a safety briefing and be fitted with life jackets.

Board a boat to cross the calm upper channels of the Zambezi River before hiking down into the gorge. Here, you’ll carefully enter the natural rock pools beneath the Falls. Swim under the spray, float in the refreshing waters, and capture unforgettable photos with rainbows and the thundering waterfall as your backdrop.

Your guides will ensure you have time to enjoy the pools safely before returning by boat and vehicle to your hotel.
 
What makes this activity unique?
 
This is not just a tour, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

With expert river guides, lifeguards, and small group sizes, your safety and comfort are always the priority, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the moment.

Surrounded by mist, rainbows, and the thunder of millions of gallons of water, you’ll experience Victoria Falls in the most intimate and exhilarating way possible. It’s an unforgettable memory, a true bucket-list experience that sets your journey apart from the ordinary.
