FULL DESCRIPTION: 

This RIB experience offers the most premium experience in speed boat London sightseeing ever. Get up close to all the key places to visit in London, from the majesty of the London Eye to the strength of the Thames Barrier. All this on-board the fastest and most exciting speedboats for anyone who visits London.

Boarding central to major things to do in London such as Shrek Adventure and the London Dungeon at the world famous London Eye, you and your canny crew will embark upon the most memorable London river cruise of your life. Get comfy in your custom built Rocket and get ready to rock out and roll on to the river that has shaped 2000 years of horribly hilarious history!

Alongside you every step of the way, our guides will be ensuring laughs aplenty. They love nothing more than to surprise you with the most unusual stories and funniest events ever to take place along the river Thames. You see, as well as being top notch stand-up comics and actors, they are also secret history geeks. In short, they get a kick out of telling you the stories you weren’t taught in school!

Once they’ve filled your head with a bit of light history, it’s time for the main event. Feel the engines roar and hold on to your hair-do’s as we prepare to take off! Feel the g’s as we propel you at 30 knots (35mph!) down the most famous waterway in the world – the river Thames! Twist and turn past Canary Wharf and onto maritime Greenwich. Our trademark Thames Rockets tunes will keep you dancing in your seats every bump of the way.

Once past Greenwich enjoy the vista of the Thames Barrier loom into view and marvel at the 8th wonder of the world. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. You’re about to turn around and do it all again.

Unquestionably suitable for anyone who knows what is good for them. This is an 80 minute speed boat Thames experience of pure adrenaline fuelled fun at 30 knots.

This is the Thames Barrier Explorer’s Voyage. Are you ready?

"Great experience."

Give it a go, great experience. Lovely guide in Bill who took the time to make sure everyone was looked after (rare these days). When the boat took off - wow! So cool to see the Barrier up close too. RECOMMEND.
